MeUndies Pouch Front Thong

~15 wears

The MeUndies Pouch Front Thong is comfortable everyday underwear with a broader, less revealing front and an easy, stable tail. It gives me support with very little pressure, but less of the shaping or special feeling I want from a thong.

Best for Everyday wear, more front coverage and support without much pressure.

SAXX DropTemp Cooling Cotton Boxer Brief

~60 wears

The DropTemp Cooling Cotton is the boxer brief I keep coming back to for everyday wear.

Best for Someone looking for an everyday boxer brief with a shaped, roomy front and useful separation from the thighs. It suits the days when I want comfortable coverage and little reason to think about my underwear.

AWRY CHEEKY Thong V2

~10 wears

The CHEEKY Thong V2 gives me the pressure across the upper butt that I bought it for, but its smaller pouch makes it an occasional choice. The loose sides roll without adding much.

Best for Someone curious about a cheeky cut who enjoys noticeable contact across the upper butt and wants a change from their usual thong or boxer briefs.

AWRY RIBBED Thong

5 wears

The AWRY RIBBED Thong makes the case that more fabric can make a thong work better. Its vertical ribs stretch horizontally across a roomy forward pouch, while the tail stays put.

Best for Someone who enjoys a thicker, stretchy fabric and a roomy pouch that accommodates an upright position. It worked well through my 10-hour workday, even though it is not my first choice for that job.

Obviously Primeman Thong

50+ wears

The Primeman gives me a roomy pouch and soft fabric that stay comfortable through a very long workday. I reach for it when I want an easy fit, even though I usually prefer more lift.

Best for Long workdays, fitted pants and suits, natural pouch room, and anyone who wants a thong that fades from notice.

AWRY APEX Jock Thong

5 wears

The waistband and jock straps stay put, but the shallow pouch forces a position I do not like and the thong panel does almost nothing. It feels like a decent jock with an extra part.

Best for Short gym sessions and wearers who like firm jock straps, a downward-facing pouch and very little contact from the thong panel.
