Going a bit more “typical” with this reblog review, focusing on a basic Papi jockstrap! I love the sky blue color here, and the material of the pouch looks very nice – looks quite soft, maybe a high percentage of cotton? The pouch is also holding this guy’s junk down fairly well, which doesn’t always happen with the more fashion-forward jockstraps out there, i.e. this pair would probably actually do a very good job of preventing your junk from moving around too much and getting squeezed between your legs or hit by what’s going on outside while you exercise. The straps also look more comfortable than what you find with more traditional jockstraps. As such, I think that this would be an excellent pair to wear if you knew you were going to work out but also had to wear that pair throughout the work day.

Papi – Cotton Stretch Thong – Black – Medium

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, nothing really extraordinary about it.
Aesthetic: I’m generally not a fan of pure black, since it hides any contouring, and there isn’t enough fabric with a thong to really make use of black’s slimming effect. However, the white stripe and text on the waistband are nice and crisp, giving the pair a bold, almost-formal look.
Waistband: The general feel of the waistband is pretty typical, but the elastic inside might be a tad bit too strong, particularly around the lower hem of the waistband, as it got uncomfortably tight after a while.
Pouch: Like Papi’s Force Boxer, the pouch here is only slightly contoured, giving you enough room but nothing to really show off. I will mention that I broke one of my guidelines when ordering this: while my thighs and ass are on the bigger side, which makes me usually order mediums, I’ll often order smalls for thongs and jockstraps since you don’t have to worry about the ass or legs for those, unlike with briefs, trunks, boxers, etc. Considering the waistband, I’m glad I didn’t order a small, but I’ve always though the purpose of a thong (aside from showing off your cheeks and giving a fun feeling between them) was to show off your package a bit, and ordering the medium for this pair provided a pouch that I think was designed to be snug but ultimately was on the roomier side of comfy instead of the snugger side.
Backside/String: The thongs strap itself was interesting in how wide it was; it was somewhere between a true string width and a true strap width, so it didn’t have an easy fold down its length while as the same time didn’t quite just slip up between your cheeks. The transition from the back panel to the strap was also a little tight against your tailbone, which combined with the slightly-too-tight waistband and slightly-not-tight-enough pouch to give the feeling that it just wasn’t a good fit.
Overall: 2/5 – some slight fit issues that make me feel like there are plenty of better options out there. However, nothing wrong with the material, and still a classy look, so a moderately good option overall, especially if you like thongs.

Papi – Force of Nature Brazillian Boxer – Blue – Medium

013

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, smooth but not entirely slick. Relatively soft and lightweight, though with a clear balance with athleticism and movement in mind.
Aesthetic: The blue camo overlaid with a net-like pattern is very sleek and slimming, plus just simply cool to look at. There’s some complimentary orange included in the waistband, giving a small pop of color that really makes the pair attractive. (Side note: my camera HATED focusing on the camo/net pattern!)
Waistband: Feeling-wise, what you expect of most waistbands. Sits between the hips and waist; good size.
Pouch: Slightly contoured, just enough to give you some room and shape for your package, but it’s clearly not a focus of the pair either.
Backside: Like the waistband, relatively what you’d expect! Not a ton of shape, but it does separate your cheeks a bit, which is nice. No tag, as the vital information is printed on the inside of the back panel and is unnoticeable.
Legs: Also pretty run-of-the-mill in a comfortable way. Good length, not too loose or too tight.
Overall: 3.5/5 – nothing too incredible, but an overall solid, reliable, practical pair that will always be a good pick when you’re getting ready in the morning.
Great for: Everyday wear
