Husband wearing thongs

[amyt88]

First of all, I've got no issue with my husband wearing thongs. He's not stealing my underwear or wanting to dress like a woman, he's got thongs designed specifically for men with a pouch at the front - big brands like Diesel and Emporio Armani have made them for a while. They're not lacy or frilly and they look masculine.

The problem is that we've got in-laws coming to stay with us for 3 months (their house had heavy flood damage caused by a leak, and rather than their house insurance putting them up in a hotel for 3 months, we offered to host them as we've got the space).

Our laundry gets hung in the study (which we don't use) as it's a large spacious room with direct sunlight, but it has no door and our in-laws will walk past it to get to their bedroom. There's no other space to hang laundry really, the study is the best place.

I've asked my husband if he can wear boxers/briefs temporarily as it could be embarrassing to see all his thongs up drying when we have guests staying, but he doesn't see the big deal and is like, "It's just underwear, I don't care if they find out I wear thongs?"

Would you be comfortable with this? I honestly don't mind him wearing thongs but wouldn't want him to be teased over it if in-laws found out. I'm more trying to protect him really, but he doesn't see the big deal and doesn't care if they find out.

Thongs - yuk. I'd hate having a piece of material up my crack😱

I love my DH wearing nice fitted Kalvin Cline type boxers that show off his gorgeous arse, thighs & package😍

I wouldn't be bothered about my DH's parents seeing his undies on the line - even if, for some reason, he did decide that thongs were the way to go.

If my husband gave me grief about the underwear l wore and asked me to conceal then from my parents, then l would decline. But l don't wear thongs

Can we have a photo please?😂

You don't need to protect him and his budgie smugglers from his own parents! Talk about unnecessary mental load!

Me too. 🤮🤮

Please, NO. 🫣

Dry them in your room.

Goodness me

This is such a MN response.

Some of the replies here have been hilarious, but thank you!

• Someone was confusing jockstraps and thongs. He wears thongs (with a piece of fabric between the butt cheeks), not jockstraps.
• Quite a few people said they don't like thongs as they're gross. Good for you, but both myself and DH love wearing them, wouldn't wear anything else. He looks hot in them - no need to be jealous over it. If they were frilly and lacy I'd be changing my opinion but these are all male-orientated designer thongs.
• To the person suggesting DH has a Grindr account - I'd love to see the evidence for that. Why does a man wearing thongs make him gay?
• No, he's not Borat. Borat wears mankinis, not thongs.
• I'm not "hideously embarrassed" by it. I fully support his choice of underwear and as I said, he looks hot in them.
• To the person suggesting monstrous skid marks - not really a problem in my household as we learned to wipe our butts and have a bidet. Plus most of his thongs are black, so wouldn't show up anyway.
• Parents-in-law are a little more on the conservative side, that was my only fear!
• Drying in our bedroom on the radiator seems like the best option :)

I really don’t think many people are jealous 🤨

Oh blimey. I’d die of shame if anyone knew.

Sorry OP, that was me making the joke about the Grindr account. I have very poor taste in humour.

For some reason I just misread your final point as
Dying in our bedroom on the radiator seems like the best option :)
and thought there was really no need to be quite THAT mortified! 😆

No, I am not jealous 😀
Thank you for this thread though..Nice change from all the flag threads.
Though have you thought about making a flag from a thong?

Pretty much 😗

I really can't imagine my DP in something like this. https://addicteduk.co.uk/collections/thongs?srsltid=AfmBOoqIcyYJazYnVVYOn2x9Q_GOFVU5vXrZW-Wsidy_EoMjBC4XkBLO

I think it would give me nightmares!

As has been said just hide under other garments, use a radiator or use a tumble. You surely wouldn't display them in complete view?

How you cope with a dh wearing such atrocious undies is another matter..

I agree, this would be a great idea.

Check your shame at the door.

Are you going to stop washing your underwear?

Oh god what have I done - my internet is full of jock strap adverts now.

Mine too! 😂

Discreetly drying your undies away from your in laws might not be easy if they are living with you for 3 months. Where are they going to dry their laundry?

Oh gawd, I couldn't fancy a guy that wore thongs. It's all a bit too feminine for me. And the question is WHY?

I can't help wondering why you'd host someone for 3 months if you don't have the space to at least have clothes drying away from view, it all sounds a bit cramped already.

Why does he wear thongs??? That would give me the permanent ick
