Buying underwear in Japan must be more fun! Just type t-back into Rakuten and it's page after page of interesting goods.http://global.rakuten.com/en/search/?sm=3&h=3&sid=adieu&tl=303991

 Wow! Some of them look pretty interesting.  If I didn't have so many already I'd be tempted to buy some.

 I have bought quite a few from Japan even though they may not ship to the UK I use tenso.com to forward it to me as it's not too bad pricewise as long as you buy a few items, if you just buy 1-2 items it may cost more.
I've bought nearly all mine from rakuten but have tried other websites too with tenso and it works just as well, haven't yet bought from Turkey yet who make some amazing suits but they ship internationally anyway.
Anyway if anyone wants me to give some sites I've used a list on here or needs help with the process then let me know

Has anyone been able to order and ship internationally from this underwear shop online?
I like a lot that they have to offer but I tried ordering from the Japanese Rakuten site but they said they do not ship outside of Japan. I found the site on Amazon japan but unsure if they will ship thru this site internationaly. http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=w_bl_sl_s_ap_web_352484011?ie=UTF8&node=352484011&field-brandtextbin=CREAL%28%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%29

 I have been buying from TXM.
I believe that they ship worldwide but beware of shipping rates, custom duties and sales taxes in your country.
TXM is quite efficient.
They offer great designs, super lightweight material but most of their underwear is very small and also the material has high eleasticity it is usually too small for European or US customers. Order the L and you will discover it is .... small ;)

 Hi fellow thongers,Just received a order with some TXM underwear and wanted to share my thoughts of these styles.This company really seems to be the authority on T-back and bikini underwear designed for asian men. Fortunately a lot of the styles are just fine for us folks with European background.Just note that I am about a 34-35" waist and in the past I usually ordered in size LL but on this order I ordered items that have a-lot of stretch and seemed to have good coverage. All of these styles are good for all day wear and should accommodate almost any size member.
Double string thong:http://www.txm.co.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=10568Very smooth and stretchy fabric. Very cool and dry's quickly. The fabric is pretty see thru so not really good for talking around with other people around.The front and crotch area are seamless and the elastic is covered and very smooth.
Classic style thong made of a soft Tencil fabric:http://www.txm.co.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=10636This fabric is wonderful for sleeping and four lounging around. Front is mostly seamless with just a small dart at the bottom. Fabric is very stretchy and feels like a combination between bamboo and cotton. But much more breathable than both. The red, black and navy fabrics are pretty much solid material so could be worn around the house without giving to much away. The lighter colours are s bit see thru.
Hi Cut G-String:http://www.txm.co.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=11141Looks like a thong but with a g-string back. I am not a big g-string wearer but this one fit's a bit like the old Jockey thongs but in super stretchy smooth fabric. 
String side thong:http://www.txm.co.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=11116Very basic thong and very slim fitting. Fit's well and very stretchy material.
String bikini:http://www.txm.co.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=11460Not a thong but it's nice to have alternatives for days you need something with a bit of rear coverage.Fabric is pretty sheer and very stretchy. Great string bikini for the summer but not suitable for wearing by itself in public.

 I agree Prodgi I am addicted to their suits and have modelled a few in my photos here. They do do L and some LL but I can also squeeze into their M size. Look forward to seeing you modelling your new undies!

 Has anyone done a direct comparison between the TXM and iSwim (Taiwan) suits? I have a suit from iSwim and it's very nice, but I am also interested in some of the TXM suits.

Bought TXM stuff before, the quality is good. The thing about stuff from Asia (I'm Asian btw) is that the size can be small, I'm a rather big sized Asian and even so some of the suits I bought are too tight to be comfortable. 

I've tried teardrop g-string and it barely accommodates my flaccid privates, so I can't imagine how the well-endowed people are going to have it tucked in at all.

 @J_R_365 you ask about comparing TXM with iSwim. I have bought from both companies. I have bought TXM from an online shop called sixlines, and they offer very few swimsuits, so I mainly bought underwear from them, whereas iSwim have loads of swimsuits. Their sizings are similar I would say (i.e. Asian sizing, so as a European small, I buy medium or large Asian). The iSwim swimsuits I've bought are very brief bikini cuts (not thongs) and sit very low at the back, so some crack is showing. I guess this wouldn't be a problem if you buy thongs from them. In terms of quality,  both companies are good. I think if you want a swim thong, iSwim is going to provide you with a lot more choice of styles & colours. (But if you just want underwear, I'd definitely recommend TXM - as mentioned previously on this thread, they often use very stretchy material which I personally like)

 Maozer -

Thanks  for the info. I wish TXM had better descriptions of their different fabrics. I once was able to view the Japanese part of their site, where they did have a page about the fabrics, which Google Translate gave some "interesting" renderings of, but now I can only see the English side. I also wish they showed their styles on human models, as some of the pouches look quite weird on those shapeless mannequins.

Hmm, I remember back in the 1970s, when women were increasingly going bra-less, and mannequins started having nipple molded into them. There should be "Anatomically Accurate" male mannequins, too.

 @J_R_365 - If you want to see TXM on a human model, check out this Japanese online shop, it sells many TXM designs & every garment is photographed from several angles on a real human model:http://sixlines.co.jp/takeonht/undwer/eng/undertop.htm

Purchased five thongs from TXM in Japan (mostly cotton for everyday wear) ordered them on Sunday and they arrived within four days! Super quick delivery. The quality overall and stitching is superb and they fit very well - I looked for the 'L' or 'M' size and if even if the 'material extend' was normal I made a purchase. When I get some time I will post some pics on here for you to see.

A thong from China, but labeled "Japanese Style" is my skimpiest of all.  Sold by ebay store swirlfashion and others, these are so narrow as to be shaft-only coverage, and that rather incomplete.  However, unlike other Japanese partial coverage suits, these are comfortable to wear and stay in place in the pool.  Insufficient cloth for the public beach, though.

 Leo40, can you tell me what the product number of the thong that you bought from the eBay store "swirlfashion" that is very narrow so that it is barely a shaft only suit? And/or where I can exactly find it on their site and/or can you post a pic of it either by itself or on you so I know that I am buying the correct thong?  I am looking exactly for a very,very narrow thong/g-string and this might be what I am looking for.  I am looking to buy it right away. Thanks.

I am looking for a very narrow thong that barely covers the shaft when it is pointed straight up. Maybe shows a little of the side of the shaft on both sides peeking out. I am looking for a front width of about 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" wide or so the total length of the shaft with a pouch for the boys. The fabric to be very stretchable to allow for growth and see thru and soft. Would be nice to have it in a gstring design but a thong will do. Leo40 mentioned a narrow suit by swirlfashion but I have yet been able to find it. Thanks for any help you might give me.

If you have chance to go to Japan, you will see their mainstream department stores actually carry TXM thongs and other brands. It would be indeed very fun shopping there.

Another Japanese company AQUX seems to have speedo style competition swim briefs in fully transparent, wet or dry.  References to these for sale always seem to come to a dead end or to a listing that has sold out.   Has anybody seen these for sale online and for real ?

AQUX is real but very expensive. Professionally designed with great quality. All their swimsuits are unlined, so the light color opaque models can be see thru when wet. I found the darker color opaque designs are very comfortable for swimming laps. The transparent models are fun to wear but probably more suitable for private occasions or nude beaches. Most of their designs have flat front like racing suits, so make sure to size up when ordering.

Just a little note that TXM has brought back a fair number of Thongs and bikinis in the LL sizes. Basically a North American Large. Note that most of these are made of very stretchy material so look tiny when you get them. Don’t be surprise if they look sized for kids when they show up, this is a Classic TXM design choice so the underwear fits skin tight. Here is the link to the LL sizes. https://txm.co.jp/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=26

You are not joking. I uploaded a photo to my gallery to show the TXM size Large to a size Large typical men’s thong from Europe. They both fit comfortably but you can see why someone might mistaken them. I love how stretchy they are lol.

I don’t know if Any of you are info rowing but this type helps to keep everything down and forward. Makes rowing a lot more comfortable. The plush is very narrow at the top almost as narrow as the thong. It’s an interesting look. https://txm.co.jp/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=335297

As @007KWOK said, all of their major departments sell g-strings & thongs. I use to buy my HOM Fredy thongs & Plume strings there. One time, the female shop assistant was trying to communicate with me but we couldn't bridge the language barrier. She brought over another female shop assistant who wasn't able to explain what they were trying to say either. They had to go get their manager, who was able to explain that the shop assistants were trying to warn me the Japanese sizes run small & I wouldn't be able to return them if I opened them. As I left, I heard the group of them giggling about the interaction.
