I’m all for them as it’s a by product of what I wear as swimwear. There is a definitive sex appeal to them and being over 40, I’ve found it’s a fun topic of conversation with men and women my age

My tan fades very slow. I've spent enough time in my Skinzwear M77 that there is no doubt what my preferred swimsuit style is.

What do you all think about having thong tan lines at a nudist resort? I may be going to one in October and wondering if the regular nudists there will "shun" me when I'm prancing about with a thong tan line, saying that I'm not a "real" nudist. I don't want to offend anyone and prefer to blend in if possible.

I don't tanline of any kind would cause much of an issue at a nudist resort. Because I can't always tan nude in my yard or visit a clothes optional beach, I often have thong tanlines. To date no one has said boo about it. Just go and enjoy the clothes freedom that comes with nudity.

I spent the 4th on the nudist side of orient beach and I wore my desmiit thong...I was unofficially accepted by everyone and within the multiple conversations I had, I explained that I preferred the tan lines... Then again I'm not a nudist, I'm a proud thong wearer! I think when you go there you don't have to fear any type of shunning because if you have tan lines, you may not be a nudist at heart either but just going there for the experience to maybe find out if you are indeed a nudist or not.

Thongzo, not everyone can work on their tan in the buff. You will not be the only person with tanlines. Don't be a creep, don't stare, if it's your first time try not to display an election (may happen until you are used to the environment), just act normal and you will be fine.

I've had a lot of positive feedback about my tan-lines when visiting a nudist resort. The women are very intrigued about a man with a thong tan line, as it shows what I wear outside the resort. They're intrigued about where I go to get such a great tan-line at normal beaches and pools. It can be quite a conversation starter!

Agreed. My thong tan line is very noticeable as I get pretty dark under the sun, but those rare instances where the tan line is visible (say, if my suit shifts after I get out of the water), I've received nothing but praise and positive comments from other sunbathers/tanners. I can't speak to nude beaches as I prefer to stay covered in the front, but I've not had any negative experiences with nudists when in their presence, even wearing a thong or string.

Was happy to read all these comments. I've been wearing thongs in the last 20 years, half to be sexy for my wife, half to laugh a bit with her. I tell her it's my sexy personnal massage clothing for her. I occasionnaly wore them on beach in the carribean beaches, but even if my wife tells me to not worry about others, that she loves me wearing thong at beach, I am a bit shy. So I haven't had a thong tanlines but I wish I had. Recently I tried home tanning lotion with a thong to get some, and said wife that I now have a permanent massage costume :-). But for the shy guy I am, it is the time to get to gym with thong tanline, to dermatologist appointment, waxing appointment and massage this week end for our 15 wedding anniversary. I was nervous for comments. But reading posts here tells me that I should be myself and so what for comments! Thanks!

I'm definitely with a lot of you. There's something so addicting about hard tan lines that I can't get enough of. I've never been to a nudist resort but would definitely go nude at least in the public areas, but I'd be wearing my thong covered in oil the rest of the time!

I have mostly tanned nude for the last 20 or so years but have had thong tan lines too, like if I spend a weekend on a non nude beach. Thong tan lines or no tan lines are always a topic of conversation at massage or waxing appointments.

@maxb013 Don't worry at all! I was just the same my first time going to the doctors office, the gym, and my massage therapist; nervous and self conscious about my tan being seen.  But honestly, I eventually started to feel empowered and confident to have a thong tan, especially once I realized how most ppl didn't mind it. We are all beautiful human beings and have every right to express who we are. We love wearing thongs so we have thong tan lines; own this. Yes, I do get a few sneers in the gym showers, but I honestly do feel bad (and feel pity) for such people. They small world their minds occupy must be incredibly sad.

All my love and support, thongers!!!!

After two trips to the beach, I am starting to have a faint thong tan-line. But, the tanline is sitting an inch above my crack. Next time, I may have to pull up my thong a little when tanning my butt. I want my tanline to sit below my lower back.

What is your ideal thong tanline position?

Re:Thong Tan Lines ( tanlines )

For a lower tan-line try shortening the length of the bottom strap. This is the most common alteration I do to my thongs and g-strings. For g-strings this is normally a trivial alteration. If you have developed a bit of a base tan then string side g-strings should not be leaving much of a visible tan line, unless you are wearing the same one every day. This assumes you are not wearing them tight the sides slide into the same crease in your body each time.

I built swim up bar stools at the end of my dock at the cabin . When I sit on one , my thong is right on the water line . My back is facing directly south . After sitting out there for a couple of hours , I had a very defined tan line. I believe the water helps magnify the sun .

Going for the slightly larger thong tan line this year. And in the past, I've usually tried to tan in the same brand "tanning thong" so that my lines are crisp and sharp. But that got to be a pain with lining it up and making sure it doesn't move so I'm just going to wear different size thongs and go for the blurry, basic tan line. Hoping to get a great start on it this weekend!

I'll go ahead and say I'm jealous of those that tan nude. My preferred swim thong is the Skinz M67. I wear it enough that the tan line it gives is very defined. I was looking at a couple other swim thongs that I have and wanted to wear them yesterday but chose not to due to the tan line differences.

I am one of (I think) the fortunate ones who can tan naked in my yard at home. I also tend to choose vacations where there are nude beaches. Not having a tanline means I can wear any suit if any style for a period of time, generally without affecting the all-over tan. Obviously, prolonged wearing of the same suit over several days would take a few more days tanning naked to get rid of the lines but on the whole I think tanning naked is better than tanning in a thong and having to work on choosing a suit and lining up the straps every time to keep the tanline well-defined. If I do wear a suit to tan, I try to keep moving the straps around and adjusting the size of the front pouch or back to maximise the tan anyway.

Anyone show off thong tan lines wearing other thongs? Have worn y back or g-strings during summer beach visits giving me distinct skinny lines along the back and hips. When at the pool i wear modest more coverage thicker side straps T back thong. Often wear T back thong higher on the hips so the thin tan lines show. Enjoy the reactions i get often gals are shocked. Obviously shows i wear smaller thongs g-strings away from the pool. When people believe my swim t back thong is small they realize from the tan lines showing i wear skimpier thong g -strings.

On Naples Fl beach last week, a sight that gladdened my heart: a 40-something woman who was “graduating” from cheeky bikini. Her formerly untanned bits flaring around the rear center strap of her newly purchased thong. As I’ve said before, it’s all about attitude and being willing to take the plunge.

Had a great summer of the thong tan line. Laid out in the backyard a ton and did the lakes a few times in a thong. Plus hit the tanning bed a few times to sharpen things up. Line was crisp and sharp all summer. Got a comment, "Wow that's hot - I wish I could tan like that." I'm hoping to upload some new pics to the album if I can figure out how to get them to size right! And alas, summer has ended and my outside tanning time has ended until next year.

To keep my tanlines consistent, I have stayed with one style of thong: the Gregg Homme Caliente. I have the Caliente in baby blue and black, and these two have been my go-to thongs for tanning. I have clear tanlines from the Caliente, but I realize that this model is quite low rise, so my tanlines are only an inch or two above my crack. Is there a thong model that is a bit more high rise? For next summer, I want my thong tanlines to be around my tailbone.

I do need some new tanning thongs for this summer. My current ones are starting to wear and the sun can shine through so I'm not getting that stark contrast. I think the Skinz M67 might be a good choice. I've been using Daniel Alexander thongs for awhile. Joe Snyder is good too, but I'm in the market so interested in what's new. I want a mix of heavy material but a small back and smallish front.

I don't have much of a tanline, but a trip to a remote beach in a little low-rise Jovana g-string has left me with a faint but distinct triangular one just above the gluteal cleft, which is readily apparent when I'm wearing my normal thong underwear :). I took part in a naked walk recently (I was wearing a g-string), and it was quite obvious then.

It's been a while since I have been on the forum. I will try to come back more often! In years past, I have tanned in Skinzwear M25U and M77U thongs to achieve my thong tan lines. Mostly their M25U style. It is quite possibly my favorite thong style of all. This year I decided to try a g-string when tanning. I opted for the Skinzwear M31U g-string. I love the larger pouch on it and Y back g-string rear. I was concerned that it would be a challenge to get the straps lined up each time I tanned. After multiple tanning sessions in my g-string this spring and so far this summer, my tan lines are looking good. It has been actually easier to get my g-string straps lined up perfectly that it was getting my thong straps and triangle rear lined up. I don't know how to post pictures here on the forum but if you check out my Flickr site, you can see my tan lines there. https://www.flickr.com/photos/194267875@N05/53828867876 https://www.flickr.com/photos/194267875@N05/53827953937 https://www.flickr.com/photos/194267875@N05/53831989222

I used to buy thong Posers from Muscleskins in the past. I had the 1cm sides. Perfect tight fit, very sexy! Unfortunately I had an issue with an order of 4 thongs. The center strap was about an inch longer compared to the ones I already had. At the same time the shipping to Europe got rather expensive (about the price of a thong) So I didn't order from them anymore.

Muscleskins posers are going to be my go-tanning thong for the foreseeable future. Great material, will leave a sharp tan line, and they are mostly appropriate for public, as long as you are not out flaunting. Great comfy fit too so they are perfect to lounge around in, and also great is you get a little blood flowing and need room to expand. Love them! Definitely needed to order extra room in front, but don't get too much extra room because then they'll get baggy.

This is a good thread that needs a bump. I've been going back and forth on tanlines recently. For years I've loved having thong tanlines but this past summer I drifted into no-tanline territory. I have a couple of g strings that have 1/16th inch elastic straps. These leave zero tanlines, as though I'd laid out nude. I would probably never wear these on a public beach but this year all my tanning has been in my yard, in a private area. After all the days this year of laying out for just 45 minutes or an hour or so, often for consecutive days (that's the real trick to getting a good tan), then seeing my brown bottom transitioning unbroken into my brown back, it's just satisfying. And up until a few weeks ago I've thoroughly enjoyed having the same tan all over throughout my midsection. But I decided to lay out for a few days in my some of my favorite cuts that have 1/2 inch sides. The tanlines came right back, but only faintly since the skin under the straps is still pretty tan. The main reason I switched back is because I love wearing those particular 1/2 inch thongs. One of them is in my "backyard" pictures, the blue/black/teal/white vertical striped one. But then I started missing the no-tanline look. So this past Saturday I laid out for a couple of hours in 1/16th inch g strings. And now the tanlines I'd recently developed are barely there. So I'm dealing with some tanline schizophrenia here. Can't decide if I want them or not. Anyone experienced this?

I have a very defined thong tan line that I am very happy with this year. Now that summer is coming to an end I will be sad to loose the crisp definition. I do hve a few excursions planned to the tropics for November and January that will help keep a tan line going. Yet, it will not be line now when I get several days a week for several months to define my thong tan line. I’ve said this before: there is nothing sexier than a thong tan line. When I see that on another person female or male I have a sense of excitement.

Re:Thong Tan Lines ( tanlines )

I wear thongs out in the sunsine just about every day, but don't have spcific thong tanlines. I have lots of thongs and g-strings and they are all diffrent. Mostly I wear thongs people would generally call g-strings, with varous side straps that range from 1/4" to 1" wide. Some rears are just a joining ring and some have a fuller triange. Each cut or style sits diffrent, so by the natural process of not wearing the same one every day or two days in a row the side straps never sit in exactly the same place. A second secret is not to wear anything that cuts in or leaves a dent in the skin. If the strap under tension it will slide or roll into the shortest path, which is always the same. You don't wear t-shirts where the armhole strangles your forearm, so don't wear thongs where the leg or waist elastic dents the skin. If you do it will make you look flabby and fat, like a trussed up Sunday roast. A more comfortable fit does means that if I dive headfirst into the swimming pool the thong is going to need hoisting back into place before I exit. The resulting tan lines is just a small white, but not clearly defined zone in front. A hint of a triangle in the rear. No defined tanlines on the sides. If I wear a suit with a tiny or very skinny front pouch after a period of wearing wider ones the lighter skin eather side is noticable. Other than that to most people I appear to have an all over tan. I don't lay out. Way to borring. Once in a while a girlfriend will coerse me to layout with them. but that is varry rare. I am normally walking around picking up litter, or paddle boarding on the water, or doing something. The sun comes in from above or sideways - and I am moving around. This means I am not lying down, waiting for the sun to inprint a tan line. Frequent changes in direction help even out the sun. Sumertime midday in both Florida and Mallorca tend to be scorching hot. Unless out on the water I spend more time in the morning or later in the afternoon, retreating to cool shade at mid day. This means more sun time but less midday burn. The key ingredients: - Different suits that don't fall in the same place. - Soft fit so no skin crease or seeking the shortest path. - Up and moving - not lying still and waiting for an imprint. - Avoiding peek burn times for a softer tan.

I'm totally with you on the "get up and move around" aspect of thong wearing. I've done that plenty in the past. For those types of activities, I like a thong with half inch to 1 inch sides, with a drawstring. There's another thread elsewhere that addresses the sporty look of a thong, which is a concept that's attractive to me. For doing activities like paddle boarding, swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, or whatever else, I prefer a more conservative cut thong that almost looks like a 1-in speedo from the front, but has a thong back. And in that scenario I do like the remnants of a soft thong tan line. The appeal for me is that it's evidence of having been out and about doing things in a thong, out in the sun, in public. It's a mark left on my body that indicates outdoor fun in a thong was had. But lately I just haven't been out as much, and therefore the only thonging I've been doing is laying out in the yard in a micro g string and developing no tanlines. And I love how that looks too.

My go-to thong when sunbathing used to be the Gregg Homme Caliente. https://gregghomme.com/products/170625-caliente-thong?variant=42974820040774 If you check out the link, you will notice that it is quite low rise. With the Gregg Homme Caliente, my tanlines were only an inch above the crack. Now, I have a few Modus Vivendi thongs that are high-rise, and I can wear them high. I much prefer my tanlines to sit higher across my lower back.
