Can a Straight Guy Wear Thongs? Yes. Your Underwear Doesn’t Define Your Sexuality.
A lot of men ask this because they’re worried what it means if they like a thong. Here’s the truth: underwear is about comfort and preference, not identity. Choosing a thong says you value how you feel through the day—support, a lighter feel, and confidence. That’s it.

Let’s talk about the real worry
“If I wear a thong, does that make me gay?”
No. Sexual orientation isn’t decided by fabric or a waistband. It’s about who you’re attracted to—not what you wear under your jeans. Plenty of straight men wear thongs for the same reasons they pick a certain boot brand or a fitted tee: it feels better and fits their life.
Why men end up liking thongs (once they try them)
- A lighter feel. Less bulk and fewer seams can make your day more comfortable.
- Reliable support. A good pouch pattern keeps you steady at work, in the car, or at the gym.
- Confidence. When your base layer feels dialed in, you feel more put together—no second-guessing.
New to this? Start with soft, stretchy spandex or double-brushed polyester. They feel good right away.
Masculinity and choice
Being a man isn’t about avoiding certain clothes. It’s about choosing what works and owning the decision. If a thong helps you feel more comfortable and focused, that’s a practical choice—not a statement about who you are.
What to say if someone asks
- “I like the fit and support.”
- “They’re more comfortable for me.”
- “I wear what works.”
No speech required. You don’t owe anyone an explanation beyond comfort and preference.
How to pick one you’ll actually like
Fabric
- Spandex blends: Smooth, flexible, easy for all-day wear.
- Double-brushed polyester: Extra-soft with a stable feel.
- Statement fabrics (metallic, velvet, wet-look): Fun once your go-to size is locked in.
Cut
- Classic Cut: Balanced coverage and steady support; a strong first pick.
- Slim Cut: Trimmer sides for a light, streamlined feel.
- Robust / Brief variants: More structure if you prefer a fuller front feel.
Size
Use your true waist. If you’re between sizes, go up for comfort. We cut S–7XL so more bodies get a true fit. Need help? Find Your Size →
If you’re still hesitant
Try it on a low-stakes day—running errands, working from home, or a casual office day. Give it a few hours. If it feels comfortable and stays put, you’ve got your answer. If not, adjust one variable next time (fabric, cut, or size).
