Good Devil – GD1018 C-String – White Leopard – One Size

103

Material: 100% Polyester, which doesn’t necessarily sound great as it’s all synthetic, but it’s honestly done quite well! Not listed here is the fact that a huge component of this underwear is a set of stiff wires that provide the main support (for the pair, not for your junk).
Aesthetic: Skimpy and frisky! The fact that it’s just a pouch means you’re revealing about as much skin as possible, and the white leopard print adds to the “wild side” look all the more. Then, if you do look around back, you can usually see the “string” wire peeking out from the top of your cheeks, which further compounds the feeling of naughty playfulness.
Pouch: I’ll talk just about the pouch itself here, and the wire “string” support in the next section. The pouch here is cool to the touch, (which is almost always very nice,) lightweight, and quite breathable for being 100% synthetic. It also has a great shape to it, though it does include a little bit too much space on the lower end of the pouch before it narrows between your legs. (You can see the looseness of the lower pouch in the second photo above.) This isn’t too much of an issue, and might be for the better for breathability’s sake, but it’s a bit odd. Overall, though, very nice pouch.
String: With no waistband and no straps, all pouch underwear needs some way of actually staying on your person. Usually this is accomplished by having the ring of the main opening either have a drawstring to narrow it around the base of your junk or snap in place there. Instead, Good Devil here has designed an entirely rigid framework that covers your crotch with a single thin wire slipping between your thighs and butt cheeks in such a way that the front and back of the wires – in theory – grip your torso from both sides to stay in place. In practice, this works well enough, and is usually aided by the fact that the “string” wire in back also is simply held in place by being wedged between your cheeks – basically, a very solid G-string. (And yes, the stiff wire is covered in fabric all the way around so it’s relatively comfortable.) Ideally, the lowest part of the wire would stay right up against the underside of your torso, but I’ve found that it tends to slide down half an inch or so, giving a slightly open feeling between your legs; part of this may be due to the fact that the tapering from the pouch loop to the single wire happens somewhat slowly, pushing back against your thighs a little bit right where they’re trying to meet your crotch. This can be a tad uncomfortable since you can’t fully bring your thighs together without the wire digging in a little. Also, depending on your rear, the tip of the “string” wire may stick up a bit too much, which can interfere with your pants and/or your seat back if you’re sitting down. Still, I think this is a very fun design, and one I’ve worn several times on days I just feel like exciting myself a little bit.
Overall: 3/5 – I think this is a very situational pair, and I’m sure there will probably be a number of guys who just don’t like the idea of stiff underwear (or of something, stiff or not, going between their cheeks). This pair isn’t for those guys, obviously, but I think it’d be fun for people to try out if they can get one.

GoodDevil – GD4500 Net G-String – Blue – M

065

Material: 85.15% Polyamide, 16.85% Spandex, though I don’t know which of the straps, panel, or mesh this mix is describing exactly. It could be describing all three parts of the pair, though, since everything seems to have the same kind of stretch, even if the weave might make those three components feel a bit different. It’s also a very nice mesh! Might get a little much if you get hot & sweaty, though – it definitely feels synthetic at that point.
Aesthetic: It’s quite the looker! The straps are about as thin as they can be, and of course the mesh is nicely see-through! I also really enjoy how the top of the pouch is a solid panel instead of being mesh – it gives the pair some much-needed some visual variety. (I have some other all-mesh underwear, and it usually looks kinda lazy.)
Waistband: Just an elastic strap with fabric over it! Not much to speak of – and without a ton of fabric there, it doesn’t stay in place incredibly well, but that’s assuming you’re moving a lot or otherwise doing stuff that would mess with it. Since it’s just straps, you can of course wear it as high or as low as you want. I actually think, in the front view above, I should have worn the waistband a bit higher (up to the waist) or lower (around the hips) because it looks a bit awkward in the middle ground like I have it… Though the angles made on the pair itself still look fairly good.
Pouch: Nicely shaped and very stretchy! It understandably is great for showing off. The pictures above don’t do a great job of showcasing the pouch, particularly the side view, but trust me it’s good. The tag is also on the inside of that upper panel and long enough that it can be seen through the mesh if you look for it. With how stretchy and thin the mesh is, it doesn’t provide a great amount of support, per se, but it’s still fun to wear.
String: Soft and stretchy, and it fits really well through the back – not too tight/cut-in-y or too loose/floppy. Even if the tightness/length wasn’t great, it’s small enough that it’s not much to notice threading through.
Other: I think this is my first Good Devil review. Pics by @davin-w ! He moved out of the area and thought I would appreciate some of his underwear, since stuff like this typically isn’t what people are looking for at Goodwill and such. X-D
Overall: 4/5 – a little higher than the 3.5/5 I gave the Jack Adams Flyer Thong, but I’m evaluating this pair as something that’s entirely intended for showing off in the bedroom or at an underwear party, while I evaluated the Flyer more on everyday and active use – I certainly think I would rate the Flyer’s fabric as more comfortable, and it’s got better pouch support. (And to be fair, the slightly-cutting strap was a problem) But if you like your G-strings for showing off, this is the pair you want!

Male Power – Swirl Mesh G-String – Blue – S/M

049

Material: 85% Nylon, 15% Spandex, and I still don’t know my material enough to say if that’s just the mesh, just the support, or represents a mixture of both. I usually assume that the listed blend of materials refers to whatever the “main” fabric used in a pair of underwear, but I feel like that assumption breaks down when you have two (or more) types of material in roughly equal measure in a pair…
Aesthetic: In a word, skimpy! The mesh pouch doesn’t even cover what most pouches do, and the bright blue color (with black scaffolding) is made all the more enticing with a lace-y pattern sewn in.
Waistband: Simple, soft, and nicely stretchy! Also pretty lightweight for as solid as it is (or maybe it just feels very solid compared to the rest of the pair!) The one drawback here is that the tag, affixed to the middle-back of the waistband, is definitely noticeable. Not necessarily uncomfortable, but definitely noticeable.
Pouch: Tiny! But very nicely shaped – a very gentle (if not very enhancing) pouch for your jewels – keeps them away from the legs well. Also, I’ve mentioned before that mesh can be hit-or-miss; I’d definitely consider the mesh of this pair a hit. Lightweight and well-designed, it never gives you the “bumpy” feeling of bits of you skin sticking through the openings, which can in those bad cases lead to rubbing unevenly against whatever else you’re wearing on top, and in particularly bad cases can be felt even in open air. No worries about that with this pouch! You probably have to wear your willie downward, though, unless you don’t mind your pride either rubbing against the inside of your pants or wagging out in the air. (And I don’t mind, depending on the situation – the pouch certainly works well whether it’s holding all your jewels or just your balls, which is an interesting bit of size magic going on there.) Like with many G-Strings, though, the insides of your legs will almost certainly be rubbing against each other.
String: Small, soft, and well-strung. =-) You’ll hardly notice it (which can be a plus or a minus depending on how much you like the feeling of something tickling your backdoor.)
Overall: 3/5 – great pair, though not something I would wear generally, since I personally like a tad bit more fabric and avoiding any thigh-rubbing. That said, it’s a very, very playful pair, which is why it’s getting more than 2.5/5 (but still lower than the 3.5/5 I gave the Jack Adams Flyer Thong.)

Jack Adams – Flyer Thong – Red – Medium

028

Material: 85% Polyester, 15% Elastane, it certainly feels like a pair meant for fun! Smooth and relatively lightweight, there’s a certain energy in this pair that comes from how the fabric feels on your package.
Aesthetic: Now this is a looker! You can tell the fabric is sleek just by looking at it, and the color is quite bold! (And is on all versions of this cut, patterned or solid.) It reprises the typical Jack Adams waistband that I previously mentioned with the Core Cycle Trunk, which looks even better here with the color and material of this pair. You also have a very attractive opening between the waistband and pouch on this pair…
Waistband: Overall, very comfy typical waistband that sits below the waist.
Pouch: Overall, a great pouch that does a pretty good job of cupping your junk comfortably. I think the peekaboo opening may make the pouch loose once the pair gets old, but right now it holds you in place fairly well. The lower part of the pouch holds your balls securely even while the upper part of the pouch feels roomy and motion-friendly so it’s not constraining at all. While it looks great in the promotional material, you can see on me that it doesn’t fully sit in the creases where your legs meet your torso, but it’s unlike the Pride G-Slinger in that, as mentioned, it still comes up under your balls correctly – you won’t feel at any risk of things hanging out, so because at least the crotch itself fits correctly, I don’t mind the slight “lack of fit” higher up nearly as much.
String: This g-string seems to have the opposite problem that the Pride G-Slinger did in that the length of the string is a bit too short instead of too long – while the string is comfortable enough overall, over time you might feel like it’s occasionally too tight and cutting down into your crack, up against your tailbone.
Overall: 3.5/5 – I was considering 4, but the slight cutting feeling of the string against the tailbone means I can’t recommend this too highly, since it’s not great for long-term wear in general. 5/5 for looks, though!

Pride USA – G-Slinger – Orange – Medium

027

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, relatively comfortable and soft.
Aesthetic: The “corner triangle cutouts” are a very fun touch to this pair, though I think the effect would have been better if the hue was fully saturated – it’s ever-so-washed-out by design, so there’s something to be desired in the “fun” department even as the cut is somewhat teasing with the peekaboo corners there.
Waistband: Small and same general design as the string itself, meaning it’s very comfy.

Pouch/String: The shape of the pouch here is fairly nice, but the overall construction is a bit suspect. When worn lower as I think it was designed to, you can see that the edges of the pouch hover are pushed away from the skin with even the slightest bit of weight/growth from your junk (left panel). At the same time, the string is a great size around but too long overall, making it obscenely loose (center panel). You can in theory solve both problems but pulling the waistband higher, but then to run into the problem that the edges of the pouch no longer correctly sit in the creases where your legs meet your torso (right panel), which both looks weird and gives an awkward feeling of undress.
Overall: 2/5 – maybe someone with the right body type / hip shape might be able to pull this g-string off better, but just on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Envy Menswear – Microfiber G String – Black – S/M

001

Material: 90% Nylon, 10% Spandex, and feels so luxurious and sexy! Feels very breathable. Also every so slightly sheer… 😉
Aesthetic: Hard to go wrong with pure black! Simple is sexy. And the slightly sheer look is complemented with a slight sheen, too, so it’s definitely eye-catching.
Waistband: More than just a string but definitely less than a full waistband, it’s surprisingly stretchy and sits on the hips well, neither drooping or cutting in tightly. Considering this is listed as a SMALL/Medium cross-size pair, size was a little worry for me – some pure Mediums from other brands are tight around my waist and cut in a little (or elsewhere, but this is a G-string, so waistband is the only worry) – but this pair was excellent in that regard. I do worry a bit, though, for anyone with a smaller waist than me if this is the smallest option Envy has for this.
Pouch: Very comfy. Roomy enough, no specific support aside from the edges coming nicely close to the skin, even around and beneath the balls, while the pouch lets you hang well. No fly, of course, so it’s not great for going to the bathroom during the day, but that’s a very minor point.
String: Same construction as the waistband, slides between the cheeks very comfortably – almost unnoticeable. If you’re looking to tease your hole, or at least feel like you’ve got something stringing through back there, then this isn’t your pair – but I love the lightness of the feeling. No general cheeks coverage means I wouldn’t recommend as solo loungewear since that’s sitting a bare ass on various surfaces throughout the day, but if you lounge around in sweats/shorts/PJs, this is great to wear underneath.
Backside: Like the string, almost unnoticeable, while still providing a nice bracing between the waist and the string. The tag is almost as big as the back panel itself is, but the tag material is soft enough that you don’t notice it either. Also, looks great from behind. 😉
Legs: Obviously no legs on this pair, but I want to mention that something about the pouch/string architecture prevented any feeling of my big, thick thighs rubbing together uncomfortably. Not sure how you manage that with a G-string or a thong, but it works!
Other: I’m really torn on whether or not I’d recommend this as activewear. On one hand, the general freedom of movement, the low-friction and breathable material, and the generally featureless pouch are good for athletic activity; on the other hand, there’s a general looseness about the pouch, waist, and string that make me feel like it just wouldn’t keep itself or keep you in place very well.
Overall: 5/5 highly recommended! A great pair to wear almost whenever, as it’s both comfy and gives you the confidence of looking sexy, even if you’re the only one that knows you’re wearing it.
