I've worn underwear bikinis and thongs/g-strings on the beach many times, even a tiny little pouch thong from Undergear.   If you think about it, some of these provide more coverage than revealing swimwear.  I just wear whichever ones are comfortable.

Actually, as far as being see through when wet, it's usually the swimwear that become see-through, not the underwear.

Hey guys some good answers but the I suppose another  point/question I was making/asking was does anyone care if people do actually realise that you have teh underwear on? I noticed a couple of you have said that you wear HOM Fredy's on the beach that look like swimwear but another couple of people have said that "as long as no one sees the waist band on Calvin Klein thongs".

Have any of you worn thong underwear to the beach that can be seen as blatant underwear?

Perhaps its different for guys though as your underwear mostly does look like it could be swimwear where as us girls have different materials for underwear e.g. lace etc.

Just thinking.....

If I have worn underwear to the beach the only concern I have had is if the name is showing at the waistband.  That problem is quickly resolved, just roll the waist band down one or two turns.  It eliminates the lettering and gives me a trimmer suit.

I have worn unerwear thong to the beach a few times as some of the thongs I have do not look like underwear.

I've stopped by the beach on my way home from work or the gym and have laid out in just a cotton or mesh thong/g-string, cotton or nylon underwear, all of which are smaller than my usual swim thongs. 

I try to find a more private spot on the beach when I do this so as not to offend. 

 I wear a Body by Victoria bikini to the beach frequently. I like it much better than my speedo.  I also let the Body by Victoria thong double as a swimsuit on the thong friendly beaches.  So far, I am not sure anyone noticed it was actually underwear.

Monday (July 25) I wore a fuchsia colored womens Jockey micro-fiber "No panty line promise" thong panty on the beach all afternoon at Kelly (Kelley) Point park in Portland Oregon.

This is the panty with transparent 1/16 inch wide horizontal lines spaced about every 1/2 inch.  I did a lot of walking and there was no bad comments.  Just a lot of "hellos".

What is it with guys wearing women thong underwear. I know they're cheaper, but give me a break. Something has got to be hanging out. You know, if one little pube is seen by someone who feels like reporting you, that only convinces the authority the ban thongs and that spoils it for the rest of us. Please buy male thongs and keep the unit covered.

By the way, I have more swimwear thongs than underwear thongs so there is little need to wear thong underwear to the beach.

I do have that iwas thonging once, and  a hot looking guy stripped down to his tighty whities to tan. That was a proud day for me.

I have worn what might have been marketed as underwear to the beach at times. The Mini Sumo Delux by Parr of Arizonia comes to mind. That was "deluxe underwear" that had the side straps wrapped in the same color cloth as the body of the suit.

I think that wearing underwear with bare elastic straps looks tacky at the beach. And wear jock straps as a sexual connotation that could backfire on us at thong friendly beaches. If you do wear underwear to the beach, it should not LOOK like underwear.

I have several pairs of Olaf Benz UW thongs that would very easily pass as swimwear and they would be my first choice to wear to the beach over swim thongs.  Alot of swimwear thongs are unlined so I don't see much difference between those and UW thongs.

Last year, I wore a red mesh Manstore g-string with side snaps during a trip to Fort DeSoto.  It was smaller than the swim thongs that I packed and I wanted to wear the least possible amount of clothing short of being naked. It was somewhat see thru when wet but since there were guys on the beach naked, I didn't see that I was showing more than the others. 

Several years back I was at a beach resort where many women were sunning topless. In the course of the week I saw several, mostly older and out-of-shape women laying out in just their underwear (no bra). They were all lacey whites that were obviously not swimwear, but no one seemed to care. I finally decided they didn't own any bikinis and after seeing so many of the younger women topless, figured this was the only way to join in the fun. More power to them!

As fo myself, I have also worn underware on the beach in the days before I owned a thong. Most bikini underwear is easy to adjust the back so you can vary the coverage anywhere from normal to almost as good as a thong. This can be very convenient. Curiously, the only time I ever got a bad reaction was from a group of thongers who were real uptight that I was going at it "differently" from them. Even though I was more covered than they were, they gave me all this bull about not being covered appropriately, etc.  They were the most uptight bunch I have ever met.  Go figure.

I've worn thong underwear to the beach, but change into a swim thong when i get "dressed for the beach". My gf tends to wear her thong bikinis to and from the beach with a skirt over the top.

Thinking of getting her a new Malibu stings one soon. Anyone got one?
