Ya they are becoming mainstream when the stupid local news can no longer do they remote shots from scenic lakes, invading the space of beach goers! I have seen summer time beach video from the local Minneapolis news stations who inadvertently got thongers on TV!

"Inadvertently got thongers on TV".  I suspect not. But there is nothing wrong with the TV showing people at lakes or on beaches in thongs. The more public thonging we have the better.  The more thongs on TV the better.  What on earth are you complaining for?

Hells Bells, this is something to be joyful about.  You don't need to jump into the live shots, but I would not complain about the TV showing what it was really like at a lake.  The more people see others wearing cheeky suits or thongs, the more they become mainstream.

I was once on national TV, in a thong, for very similar reasons. During the winter the morning shows sometimes send local TV stations out to do live shots from around the nation. "Good morning Sal, how is the weather in Des Moine?", "Well Sally, it's minus 15 and the snow is blowing sideways." "Good Morning Bob, how is the weather in Fort Lauderdale?", "As you can see, the sun is warming the beach behind me and it's already balmy 75." And at that moment I unknowingly ran through the back of the shot, in a thong, along the far side of the beach.

It is normal for TV crews to setup at Las Olas and A1A. It is about the only place where there is enough space to pull a remote van onto the sidewalk, and do a stand up, without blocking the sidewalk or getting sand in your shoes. During the cooler months they use that location frequently, so I pay no notice.

A friend saw the live feed on TV and asked if it were me. I saw a recording later. The only way you could tell it was me was my running style, and the exact location and time of day.  With stanups people 10 to 15 feet away are in focus and large, people 150 feet away are just ants in the distance.

I don’t see the big breakthrough about women in skimpy/cheeky swimsuits on TV or in advertising. What’s new about that? We still don’t see men in anything near what we like to wear.

There is not going to be a huge sudden title wave for men. Quit holding your breath and go out and thong publicly. The more you hide, the more you avoid families, children and teenagers, the less men in thongs they see while growing up. Unless some rapper starts wearing thongs on stage, it will take a generational shift. Thong publicly. Thong openly. Thong deliberately. Be the change you want to see. This takes courage and fortitude. I can't sell that. Even the US military can't put that in a pill, it takes repeated practice.

As my contribution to the cause, I've started taking our trash down our long driveway to the street in a thong, either late in the evening or early in the morning when there's hardly any traffic. It feels great, and completely normal. I haven't been spotted yet--no honking horns!--but the time will come . . . and I'm ok with it. Yes, JM: publicly, openly, deliberately.

I disagree as thongs are seemingly to spread where I am at. Thongers laying out casually would have been unheard of 10 years ago. Now they are common around the lakes in Mpls. and spreading to the suburbs.

I think the Instagram influencers are spreading the idea of wearing cheeky bikinis to younger and older women. Just don't call them thongs- and don't ass-ume that carries over to men too.

Ya what I said about lady thongers in Mpls. does not to men. I have seen women thongers laying buns up right next to traffic going around on the parkway, crossing six lanes of traffic on Lake Street, walking down the pedestrian path and all with no problem. Heck, at a lake near Lake Calhoun a woman in a micro g-string bikini enjoyed the day! By micro I mean like the thread on a spool :)

sailor250: That's correct about not assuming cheeky bikinis carrying over to men, unfortunately. It seems it's going to take a LOT of time and/or and gargantuan effort.

The 'burbs have gone thong. I have been to a number of local beaches and noticed thong bikinis nearly each time I went. Once on a boring day and there were few people there, there were thongers at this one beach! Over the years I have noticed women wearing thongs and no one doing anything but that was with no lifeguards. This year is different when even g-string bikinis are allowed, which is like an earthquake!

Question for you all... As very cheeky and thongs are more common for women now, would subtle posts on sites like Trip-Advisor commenting on the openness or vast number of thong and cheeky bikinis on the reviews for a location be helpful to the ongoing actions that many on this board are trying to do in promoting the “common place” acceptance of thongs on women? And in turn we might just get a few more men like me to be willing to strut the beach in a thong.

CK Wonderer: great idea. But please folks, only post a review if you have been there, as for different reasons there is a clampdown on false reviews. And stuck to the truth about numbers, like if a most girls and women are wearing thong and cheeky bikini bottoms and a lot of men are in speedos say that, it still helps. And if you are a man wearing a thong and get mostly zero or positive reactions, then maybe leave out any negative reactions unless it is funny and helps the cause.

live in a conservative area about 3 hours from a beach but lately I’ve noticed a few swim team girls really pushing the limit with their one pieces. I swim laps at a local gym and about three girls on this swim team have really been letting their already narrow one pieces tuck in to look like thongs. It’s clearly on purpose because they leave them that way even walking around the pool. 


I was driving out by a neighborhood one day that had a community pool and a grassy area to the side. There were 3 guys and one girl standing in the grass hitting a beach ball around and the girl was wearing a traditional thong. Just those few things are telling me the trend is pointing toward more thongs to come in 2019 and 20 hopefully!

I’ve seen an up tick in very cheeky and thong style suits on women over this summer. Every beach I went to seemed to have many women in cheeky suits and a few in thong swimwear. I was pleasantly surprised to see these styles at some of the traditionally more conservative places . In addition, two other things of note. I noticed a few (very few) men wearing bikini style briefs at several of the beaches as well. There seemed to be more acceptance of men in smaller swimwear. Additionally my choice in swimwear was much more accepted by other beach goers, from being invited to join them to appreciative comments being made about what I wear. I am sad to see the end of summer here in the Great Lakes region. I now look to next year with great hope and optimism for further acceptance of minimal swimwear worn by all.

Cheeky suits are now the standard from what I have observed. Older women prefer the 1960s full coverage look. Funny how those Frankie & Annette movies show them walking around in suits resembling underwear! Perhaps that is why some women will go to the beach with just a towel and lay out in their underwear.

That rant is absolutely ridiculous. There's never been a better time for women to buy any kind of swimwear in any coverage they want. We are living in the golden age of swimwear choices.

I go on Vacation in July to Florida. I stay in a gated community. In the past I have openly worn speedos everywhere, but last year was a change. I wore thongs virtually everywhere. It started July 5th. On July 4th the complex had an Independence Day golf cart parade. For that I wore a Red White Blue Speedo. Part way thru the battery on my cart died, so my wife and I had to stop. We watched the rest of the parade from the sidelines, her fully dressed, me in just my speedo, a small one at that. That day, I had untold number of women wanting their picture with me. The next morning I decided to go to the community jacuzzi, and since the golf cart wasn't at my place, I had to walk. So, I put on a Red White Blue Pouch Thong. Went out the door, and walked thru the complex several blocks in nothing but a Thong. A woman saw me, and said she and her sister had seen me the day before and taken pictures with me. She went on and on about how her sister that wasn't there with her, couldn't get enough of seeing me in the speedo, and loved my ass in it. She told me she loved the thong, and said more specifically she liked my ass in the thong. She said if her sister were there, she wouldn't know what to do with herself since she would love to see my bare ass in that thong. She also commented they thought the bulge looked damn nice. I told her she was welcome to take pictures of me, but she didn't have her phone. She said her sister was going to be very disappointed. The female neighbors across the street ALWAYS come out to talk when I am out in a thong. The one neighbor I have helped her with programming her TV, and fixed things around her house in only a thong. We have stood out along the road talking, all the while I am in a very small thong. The front barely covers the base of my penis, with all of my pubic hair out. I don't ever shave. So, I have a massive bush showing. On one day there was an open house my wife and I wanted to see. We walked from our place to the pool with me just in a thong, and spent time at the pool. When it came time for the open house, we walked the half mile or more to the open house, and toured the open house, in just a thong. There were easily 20 people touring the open house, and there I was in just a thong. Even stood in the kitchen and talked with the realtor for a while in just a thong. When done, walked back to the pool in just the thong. Walked from our place to another open house a few days later, and toured it, all in just a thong. The local beach wear shop, we know the employees. I told one of them I would like to get one of the iron on's like for the shirts on a speedo. She said, bring it in. I asked her if I could just come in in a speedo and shop, and she said women do it all the time in bikinis. Went home, and was going to put on a speedo, but then thought a thong would be more fun. It is basically a string with a pouch that barely holds everything in, and is a pouch, and very thin. Drove over, and parked. Walked thru the parking lot that had a bunch of people, and walked into the beach wear store. I had another thong as well. Had an iron for it, changed, and then did the other one. The three women there went crazy. They had to have a bunch of pictures with me, both facing forward, and me turned with my ass back. They all had to take turns with their hands on my ass, lips inches from my ass pretending to kiss my ass, and a few of them when I was facing forward leaned down and acted like they were kissing my package. They loved it. I walk down the beach always in a thong, and only wear a thong to the nude beach. Of course I don't wear the thong at the nude beach. Stayed at a hotel in the Chicago suburbs. Was on the 14th floor. Put on a thong, nothing else. Walked down the hall, and took the elevator down to the jacuzzi. A lot of people saw me. It is very exhilerating. So, in my experience, people aren't that worried about it.

Pennme, Does the shop sell men's bikinis and thongs?
