	Date Posted：02/17/2019 03:06:56Copy HTML I am of the mindset that some thong styles are better suited based on your body and same for the ensuing tan lines. I wear a traditional thong that’s low in the front with 1/2” wide straps and it really curves around my bubble butt. My wife prefers the thin straps with Y back and honestly any style works for her. The issue she has is lining up the straps and the tan lines consistently which is why I switched from those to what I have now. When I was in college I wore a really big back thong but that was the style in the 90’s. What is your preference? I’ve had thong tan lines since I was 18 and I’m 45 now. I don’t see me switching anytime soon and want to get your thoughts on what tan styles you prefer

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：02/17/2019 12:01:55Copy HTML me and my wife prefer the classic thong style. the classic T...we dont like the g-strings because of their style and feeling...for our swims, we also prefer the very classic T style...the only thing we dont like on thongs is when they have big width back strap....we simply cant affford the wedgie feeling...it is very nice to "feel" the backstrap but its not enjoyable to feel that you have a huge piece of fabric between your cheeks.....

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：02/17/2019 12:06:24Copy HTML I like the straps of my thongs as narrow as possible. I changed from 1/2" to 3/8" just to minimize tan-lines. The narrower the tanlines the more sexy I think. I also buy suits with a narrow front for the same reason. Most of my suits are 3/8" with low narrow fronts. I have some older 1/2" suits with slightly wider fronts, but I hardly wear them. When laying out on my belly, most of the time I'm nude. So I have no tanlines on my back.

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：02/17/2019 04:35:08Copy HTML bmicro — Agreed. I do all I can to avoid tan lines. To keep things even, I switch between high waists one day, and low riders the next. Another help is suits with detachable straps. Last year, I was at a c/o campground, and lots of folks commented on my all-over tan, even though it was the first time I had actually been out nude that year.

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：02/17/2019 05:24:16Copy HTML I happen to like a very defined thong tan line. In my eyes it looks sexy as all can be. I do my best to keep the tan line sharpe and small. Recently I had a medical appointment and the nurse noted my tan line, all smiles and asking if I recently went on vacation to a beach. Sadly I had not. It had been many weeks since I’ve been in the sun, but the tan line remains.

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：02/18/2019 03:35:06Copy HTML I love my thong tan line as well. I have a very dark tan on a pasty white body, so it is a very dramatic line and I work to keep it that way. As you can imagine, it has become a topic of conversation from time to time, especially at the gym and the doctor's office (my dermatologist made the comment hat at least a tiny part of me was destined to be skin cancer free! lol).

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：02/18/2019 05:22:24Copy HTML I had a relationship with an Italian woman who hated skimpy swimgear on men. So I sneaked out sometimes and went to the beach on my own. There I started to switch styles of thongs and strings to avoid a telltale tanline. And to this day I try to avoid tanlines so I will fit in when I go to Gunnison nude beach now and then. ;)

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：04/09/2019 12:34:04Copy HTML Joe Snyder Rio and bulge thongs are PERFECT for tanlines. I have several versions of each and depending on the type of line I want (which is usually skimpy but distinct) I will wear the same style thong several times over and over to get that line burnt into me!

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：07/08/2019 03:41:39Copy HTML I first started wearing a thong to tan in at the request of my then GF age 18, not only did I fall in love with the freedom they offered when swimming and the attention I got when wearing one but most of all the super sexy tan line I was left with after wearing one!!! 32 years later I’m still hooked!!!!! Over the years, as more options became available, my style choices, along with my tan lines, got smaller and smaller until, about 10 years ago, I finally found my ultimate tanning suit! The One-Sided Thong. Nowadays to maintain my sharp, unique tan line I have them all custom made with a 3/8 inch wide hip strap and tiny front pouch.......easier to keep in position for best results! Yes my tan line gets me a few looks in the gym changing room but I don’t care, I love being unique!

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：08/11/2019 01:02:29Copy HTML I go with the traditional T using a Speedo thong (it's old, but it's so well made, it's holding up amazingly well for being nearly 20!). I had to go to the doctor for a back injury a few years ago, and every single one who looked at my hip all saw the tan line, and every single one of them laughed like idiots in the hallway outside the room- why they were not only unprofessional, but why they didn't think I couldn't hear them is beyond me. Obviously, I never returned to that facility given the unprofessional doctors. Either way, it's kind of cool to see when I'm nude, because like my ex-girlfriend said, I've got some major balls to show my ass in public like that! I also like how I've got 3 freckles right in a line on my ass too, it's like connect the dots!

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：08/11/2019 11:04:09Copy HTML I had a Doctors appointment with a Dermatologist a couple weeks ago. I thought I was just getting a spot on my face looked at. The Doctor (female) said it was a good idea to check all my body. The Doctor had 2 female assistants who were present. I agreed and she told me to put on the hospital gown and keep my underwear on. They all left the room and all 3 women returned a few minutes later. The doctor lifted up different parts of my gown and looked at all my body while the 2 other women watched. She lifted up the back of the gown and pulled down the back of the 1/2 back string underwear I had on. She commented that she could see I was tanning and mentioned the tan lines. The tan lines are the same as my photo on thongboard. They were all professional but I must admit I got a thrill out of it. I did not know that was going to happen. I am sure my underwear looked more like a woman's panty than what the doctor usually sees on men.

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：08/15/2019 06:39:29Copy HTML I have long thought that the "V" shape tanline over your butt looked the best. I've worn a couple of styles that ended up leaving no tanline at all, but I think the the little "V" is the best.

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：08/16/2019 12:43:59Copy HTML I've got a couple of Jovana Micro Strings with Clasps, which I really like. When I undo the clasps, the pouch, which sits extremely low to begin with, rides down, so now I have a tan line about 1¼ inches below the top of my scrotum.

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：01/09/2020 07:55:32Copy HTML I've switched to a smaller g-string for tanning and the line the very distinct now. Joe Snyder was fun but the JAXFSTK g-string/thong is perfect. I have 3 of the same one so I can use the same tanning thong each time I tan. Nice triangle in front and an even smaller triangle in back, with thin lines for the straps. Have plenty of pics on my Flickr site!

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：01/18/2020 12:35:04Copy HTML I’m back to a simple thong with 1/4” straps and a fuller back. I love this style right now

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：03/02/2026 01:35:46Copy HTML Here Emrata is showing off the tanline (I assume from a tanning bed- to keep everything steady in place for a sharp line) of a Gucci G string on her ass! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15601621/Emily-Ratajkowski-poses-topless-Gucci-thong.html

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：03/04/2026 01:41:55Copy HTML Ah ha! There was another- directly from behind shot on insta of her thong tanline....and yes with thigh gap viz the center was edited. The sharpness of the lines did suggest a spray tan to me at first but then thought-- who would spray that all over the valuable garment? Then The New York Post uses AI to pixelate the crack more...and creates the illusion of what they were trying to hide. So they created a "lip slip" appearance!! https://pagesix.com/2026/03/02/style/emily-ratajkowskis-super-sexy-party-girl-gucci-runway-look-included-a-spray-tan-thong/

	Re：Thong styles and tan lines... Date Posted：03/05/2026 02:15:52Copy HTML My profile pic here ( disclosure: a few years old now ) is the best tan line I ever had. Doesn't happen much these days as now I'm usually beaching nude. That was after a great 3 day stay in Sobe, I remember vividly the great time I had hanging with with a couple of middle-aged ladies who had set up nearby. Their nickname for me was "Magic Mike"
