Husband wearing thongs

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.

I’m curious to know what swimwear he wears? 😳

Stylish thong on a man can enhance his shape and look stunning on him. He sounds confident and happy.

Everyone saying "I wouldn't find that sexually attractive"- if a man weighed in on the type of pants I wore based on how sexually attractive he found them, I'd say- so? I wear pants I like for me, not based on whether or not men like it. Underwear isn't inherently sexual.

Convenience - I've stayed in a hotel for 3 months before and it drives you absolutely crazy.

Just seen this post pop up and see lots of negative feedback. While they may not be to everyone's taste, many men now wear thongs. My hubby is one of them and it doesn't bother me at all, and I don't mind the look at all. Just fyi (and too much info I know) but he doesn't have a hairy arse, it's all smooth and feels great!

So, just keep doing what you are doing and let him do the same, I'm sure it won't even be noticed, and if so it is not big deal.

When it comes down to it, it's just underwear...
Women wear thongs no one gives a second thought. What's the difference? To be fair, from a comfort/support side of things thongs are designed for men.
Who cares? It's just a pair of pants... Would your parents head fall off if they seen your knickers drying on the line?

Few things would give me more of an ick than a man coming into my bedroom wearing a thong. I don't know whether I'd laugh or cry.

I wouldn't want his family to see his thongs because I wouldn't want to see the pity on their faces as they realised what I had to put up with.

It's pants... It's not the end of the world.
Jezzz who gives AF what anyone feels comfy wearing
