Men's thongs. No, no sandals.

I think I could be happier with my choice of underwear. For a while I wore boxers, got some boxer briefs, and just grabbed whatever was clean between the two styles. Then I discovered some wonderful mesh type boxer brief from Jockey with an extra long leg (called a midway brief . Not only do they breathe a bit more, move with me better, they rarely creep up my leg, and they are a good mix of support and freedom.
But I live in hot climate and I sweat. My junks got a funk. I don't just rely on my underwear to keep my fresh, but maybe a men's thong would help. Hell, maybe it will feel good. I dunno, it's certainly worth a shot.
Now, I've been happy with Jockey for the past couple years so I'm tempted to give one of their thongs a whirl. Can anyone recommend anything in particular?

    This is coming from a gay man.

    Men should not wear thongs. It's just wrong.

    No one wants to see your hairy ass in a thong.

    NO ONE.


    As for the comfort issue go ask any woman how comfy they are.

    I don't think being anally penetrated is too comfortable, but I'm not about to tell you to to not do it.
    Besides, I didn't ask if I looked good in a thong and women are a bit different down there than men are.

    You have thongs confused with butt plugs.

    Look, unless you've created an opinion on thongs by wearing one, you're opinion on this doesn't matter. Can you just drop it since you aren't being any help at all?

    Oh yeah, that's a regular mistake I make. Causes a lot of embarassment when trying to buy manthongs. But buttplugs are more comfortable than thongs. Well, more pleasurable at least

    I had an ex who liked to wear thongs. I really didn't care - his undies, his choice. I don't remember what brand he wore though, but I know there are thongs out there made for guys.

    I think you'll have to hit up your local walmart, see if you can find any, and just test them out (at home) to see if they're as comfortable as you want.

    if you're wearing them underneath your clothes and it feels good, then no one else should care and it'll feel good. If it feels good do it.

    If all you're worried about is funk, just throw some talcum powder in there. If you're looking for a thrill, get that Goldbond medicated stuff that's all menthol-y.

    i have a feeling that a thong would not be a good idea if you're looking to have a less funky junk....i could be wrong, but by design a thong is going to cradle your junk, which means junk on material action 24/7, which would probably lead to more funk than if your junk were in the open air

    I've tried them, willingly. Why the hell not, you know? No one has to see me in them and damnit I felt it was flattering.

    Anyways, it feels weird. It's not just the string on your butt, it's also the string on your hips as well. Also, and this is big, there is often major leakage. It will escape from the side often, so you might try to sort of bundle or cradle it in the center. That works for a while, but goodness help you if you ever get excited; nothing you do will contain it inside it's shelter.

    If you are trying to keep the area "fresher" have you considered body grooming?

    I've seen these in the Jockey store before. Also, it really depends on the size and cut of the thong for how comfortable it is. They're not all tiny string bikinis. The reason I don't like them is that I hate the way most pant material feels against my butt. Especially denim.

    Man, even a ton of women I know won't wear thongs. They're just not very practical.

    I'd say a combination of body-grooming, deodorant, and looser underwear is going to be the most effective solution.

    I think most women wear thongs not because they are comfortable but because they look good under clothes.

    If your concern is funk related, you may want to just go for that powder.

    But hey, try it. Maybe you'll like it. But the purpose of thongs is not comfort.

    Actually some girls do find thongs more uncomfortable. My old roomie wore pretty much nothing but things because she found them more comfortable that bikini style, which she called granny panties and said were about as comfortable as a diaper. Honestly it's all in the cut. Unless you've worn thongs before you don't know how comfortable they are.

    This post was every entertaining. Good job to you sir :^:

    Improv, I think you should see that Friends episode where Joey starts to wear women's underwear. I think there's a message in there for you.

    EDIT: not in the women's underwear Joey is wearing, the episode

    It's not my balls and wang that produce the odour (fuck I hope not, that would be something totally different), but probably my farts, ass sweat, and thigh pit sweat. A thong would ideally cover only the genitals, keeping them separate from those smelly things.

    I'd say mens underwear is closer to a bra than panties. Balls and boobs both need a level of comfort and support that makes the person feel good. Vaginas are pretty good on their own from what I hear.

    A thong typically makes a woman's bits smellier, I'm told, so I can't imagine they would help your bits be less smelly.

    If the smell is from your ass sweat, get in the habit of wiping your ass when you go to the bathroom to urinate. Seriously, if it's a smell thing, a thong isn't going to do anything for you. Some lightweight cotton boxers/undies will work just fine, and if it's ass-related, get in the habit of sitting down and giving your ass a wipe when you have to piss.

    Thongs are usually uncomfortable to wear. I can't describe how irritating it is to always have the string ride up your butt. I'm sure people do enjoy or get used to it, but many others don't.

    Secondly, EggyToast is right in that they do tend to make you smellier/sweatier. Your ass has no room to breathe. You actually want looser-fitting, cotton underwear if you want to be less smelly.

    Thirdly, they aren't going to do for your balls what bras do for boobs. Bras work because they rely on support from the shoulders, and because they're usually wired and are fairly stiff (at least, for larger boobs they're nearly always wired and stiff, with big, thick shoulder straps, and if you wear strapless, you certainly notice a huge difference). Your hips probably aren't wide enough to provide enough of a ledge for the string to rest on to provide any real support.

    Don't be shy, try shaving or trimming. Under the shower, don't wash these parts half-heartedly, use shower gel, shampoo or soap. And I agree that cotton underwear will help you stay dry.
