The first thing I noticed about this thong was the price. $20 a pair and another $8 to ship was much higher than the average price for similar items from other manufacturers. Somewhat understandable due to its unique construction, but still a high price. The material is very soft and forgiving, but there is very little stretch in the fabric. That being said, the pouch is a little small, even for the average sized male anatomy. The overall thickness and length of the thong strap is perfect in my opinion. It not at all binding, and it is very comfortable. Overall though, these are pretty average as far as men's thong underwear goes. The two most important improvements needed are a lower price, and a larger/deeper pouch. The pouch needs a more outward and downward curve, to allow for more room for the male anatomy...
