Chas Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) An online dancewear store (riversedgedancewear.com) recently started selling thong dance briefs in boy's sizes as well as men's. What do you think about boys wearing thong underwear? Would you buy them for your son if he wanted them? Edited April 23, 2008 by Chas Quote Link to comment
citibob Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Racy connotations aside, I don't feel sexy when wearing thong-type underwear. I just feel uncomfortable. Sounds like a dancebelt to me. But many men in ballet I know like thongs because they're very concerned about how their buttocks look, and how the cheeks go together. Yawn. I guess if my kid wanted to try it, I would let him, although that's absolutely not my style. But I would not buy it from Rivers Edge Dancewear, they have a terrible reputation. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 If the kid asks for a dance belt, cool with me. Just remind him when he complains about being sawed in half the hard way who asked for it! Quote Link to comment
Chas Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I am actually referring to something other than a dance belt. These thong briefs are not as thick as a dance belt and do not have the wide waistband. It looks like they could be used for every day underwear as well as athletic support for dance or other sports.

citibob Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 The purpose of thong underwear is to prevent a panty line when wearing tight clothing. But beware the thong under a unitard... I once saw someone who was wearing such an outfit, and differences in sweat made the outline of her underwear clearly visible :-( Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 IF the kid asks for them, no problem. But IF he complains afterward about being uncomfortable, THEN be ready with the "Hey, kid, tough noogies. You asked for them." But also be ready to provide remediation with a "brief type" substitute.

Chas Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Has anyone bought the men's thong dance brief from Bal Togs before? Are they comfortable? Does anyone have a preference for either cotton/lycra or nylon/lycra? Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 In any case, I'd go for the higher cotton content, no matter who's the maker. It's less like wearing a baggie. Cotton breathes. Quote Link to comment
Chas Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks to both of you for your comments. I think I will go with the cotton/lycra. They will probably have a softer feel to them and be more absorbent when sweating. Quote Link to comment
Rubber Legs Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I find the "Wear Moi" dance belts are the best fit for me and the most comfortable. Paul. Quote Link to comment
Guest cs1987 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 No preference, but when I danced younger I really found no dance belt comfortable. Just get used to it. Quote Link to comment
