Ergowear – Max Light Thong – Blue – Small

033

Material: 90% Viscose, 10% Spandex, but it feels sooooo soft and almost cotton-y. Also very lightweight!
Aesthetic: The medium-height white waistband atop the color pouch is a very clean look, and I love the bit of stiching that goes down the center seam of the pouch – makes it look all the more like a soft, traditional cotton sewing piece.
Waistband: Very soft and comfortably stretchy material – never feels too tight or two loose, being juuuust elastic enough to sit there around you. Sits above the hips, right where they meet the torso.
Pouch: Oooooo I love Ergowear’s pouches. I would simply like to my previous Ergowear reviews except that this is from the Max line, not the Feel line. The seam under the balls doesn’t come up to them as closely, an instead the Max line has a more structured but equally comfortable pouch that lifts by virtue or its shape and still has a ton of room up front that also stretches very nicely. Ergowear living up to its ergonomic name!
Backside/String: Not much to say here! The little back panel just below the waistband is nice and hides the very soft, unnoticeable tag. The string itself has some width to it, which is great if you like your thongs to have that feel of something sliding up between your cheeks and resting against your hole. The fabric again is very soft, so as long as you like that aspect of thongs, it’s incredibly comfortable.
Legs: NA
Overall: 5/5 – another absolutely wonderful thong that you should get! I have a second pair of these, in peach instead of blue, myself.
Great for: Everyday wear, Activewear, Sleepwear, Sexy wear

Aussiebum – WonderYears Brief – Leo (Peach/Orange) – Medium

004

image

Material: 65% Polyester, 35% Cotton in a “2×2 ribbed cotton-weave”. Feels both soft and strong, plus is pretty breathable.
Aesthetic: The classic/vintage look is strong with the WonderYears line, both with the ribbed look, the noticeable waistband, and the pop of the white trim/piping. Aside from the trim/piping, the pair is a solid color, all in the pastel spectrum for the WonderYears line, but strong pastels as opposed to pastels that simply look faded.
Waistband: Not bad; comfy enough, but still noticeable with a slight squeeze. Can fold up a little bit too. Sits just above your hips. Like the waistband, most of the underwear is tight (to varying degrees) on you, which combined with the semi-low rise means this pair is in theory great for slimmer-fit pants, though be careful if the pants also have a tight waistband (or an uncomfortable tag) as you might get red marks around your actual waist.
Pouch: The classic look includes a traditional vertical fly, which often means little to no shape to the pouch because a traditional vertical fly requires a double-layer of fabric that involves multiple attachment points. However, the WonderYears line constructs each layer of the fly’s fabric out of multiple panels with a very faint vertical seam that goes right down the middle of the pouch’s front. On the plus side, this means a brief with a vertical fly actually has a very shapely, impressive front pouch (more only for your willie than for your balls, though – there’s not much ball room at the lower end of the pouch). On the flip side, though, this high-depth pouch combined with the strong, relatively inflexible trim and relatively small fly opening renders the fly absolutely useless. It’s nearly impossible to wriggle your fingers into the pouch to fetch your schlong, and the amount of stretching needed to pull the two fly openings past each other essentially cuts your sensitive organ completely off as the rigid structure of the pouch pulls back in a wicked shearing strain. So while the fly looks good and it technically function, you really can’t use it at all.

Backside: Pretty nice, honestly! Definitely soft. Gives a slight feel of thickness that the fabric in much other underwear doesn’t give, so it cushes your seat a little bit. Also, like most of the pair, it fits a bit tightly, which in this area of the pair gives your butt a nice, pert look.

Legs: Ow! The leg openings of this pair are annoyingly, uncomfortably tight! It’s hard to pull the pair on or take it off over my big thighs, and I was reminded of the fact I was wearing this pair throughout the day with the cutting squeeze it gave to the loins. If you have legs that are on the slimmer side compared to the rest of you, this pair might be fine, but it’s definitely not for me.
Overall: 1/5 – despite the nice ass, great shape of the pouch, and attractive overall aesthetic, the leg opening were a slow torture and the completely impractical fly (why include it if you’re going to make it so damn hard to use?) really soured me on this pair. They’re great if you know you’re gonna have your picture taken while showing off your briefs, but aside from that I wouldn’t recommend them at all. Oh, and as a spoiler: I have a “whitey tighty” pair of Aussiebum Classic briefs as well, and were I to do a review of that pair, it would be almost word for word the same as this review.
