The men's thong is one of the oldest garments in history, as early as 75,000 years ago, humanoids were already wearing variations of this thong. Nowadays, the men's thong is becoming increasingly popular as it cannot be seen under clothing. Many men do find it a disadvantage that the fabric is worn directly between the buttocks.
The thong has always been in demand by exotic dancers since the 1970s, especially in South American countries like Brazil. In the 1990s, the garment became common to wear as a regular garment and since then, the men's thong is also sold in most fashion stores. Thongs are also popular in sports such as bodybuilding.
The men's thong comes in many types, sizes and colors, with the G-string being an example. Thongs are made of different materials such as silk, cotton, satin and various synthetics. Many designs are also available with exciting elements such as translucent sections or notches in the thong.
