Side by Side Comparison of: Calvin Klein vs papi vs 2(X)IST vs C-IN2

First time purchasing a pair of thong underwear. Kinda wanted to spice things up w/ the girlfriend and see what she thinks about them. Not going to lie..most comfortable underwear I've ever worn. Normally wear Under Armour boxer briefs, compression shorts or commando due to I really don't like the way reg. boxers creep up and bunch. Tighty whiteys are a big hell no since I was 14 or so. I'm 6'1" 185 lbs w/ a 32" waistand bought Med; only issue I have is the front pouch is a tad small to hold everything inside..not too much, but enough to notice as they push the material away from legs. Everything else fits like a charm. Maybe if the back wasn't as tall and could be 1/4" shorter then it would be enough. To keep everything in place I have to pull them up to the small of my back. There is a little stigma about thongs only being for gay guys..but I think that is a misconception. I think they are just more comfortable with letting it all show as well as mainstream media hasn't caught up w/ the times. I like the way I look in them too..42 yrs old and going to buy more.

I'm a size 36"-38" depending on the week, and I order the XL. These fit well around the waist, but the pouch hung just a tiny bit too low for me. However, as you can expect from Calvin Klein, the design is great. The waistband is large and comfortable, having just enough give to get them on and stay securely. If you're used to having a lot of give in the waistband (like Hane's boxer briefs or similar), then you're going to be disappointed. These are designed to stay put, and they do. The thong part, while it looks a bit intimidating at first, actually "disappeared" after about 15 minutes of wear - they are that comfortable. These are my new go-to underwear.As a man who has very large, muscular legs, I have been continuously disappointed with how uncomfortable boxers and boxer briefs can be due to how they ride up the legs on me. This causes me to have to pull them down through my pants every time I stand up from my desk. Annoying. With thongs, my junk is held where I want it to be, and I no longer have the aggravation of bunched up cloth uncomfortably laying on my legs. And when I go to the gym, I have always had to just take my underwear off or have a separate pair because boxers and boxer briefs restrict my movement when I'm doing anything with my legs. With these, I don't have any issues at all, and I can even throw on my jock for kickboxing right over these when I'm running behind and everything works out just fine.If you're looking for a better kind of underwear for being more active, thongs are where it's at. And my girlfriend loves them just as much as I do.

I am a size 32 and I bought a medium last weekend in store because they didn't have size small (which is normally the size of CK underwear that fits me). Never really have worn a thong before so I bought it out of curiosity. The medium came up pretty high in the back and did not fit me well. I ordered a small and it fit me perfectly not to mention that I don't really even feel it cut into me like I thought it would. Still rises a little high in the back but it's not out there for a free show and there is plenty of room up front. Overall, really comfortable and feels like regular underwear.

Better than most of the other thongs I have tried. This is overall comfortable, good sized pouch with appropriate support and the strap is not too thick so it doesn't get twisted up. I'm a waist size 40 and the XL fits just right. I have found you pretty much can't beat the reliable comfort and sizing of Calvin Klein. Feels great, looks great.

First thongs I've ever purchased.SUPER comfortable, perfect amount of room up front, girlfriend loves the way they look. 5/5 best wedgie I've had.

First time buying a CK thong, and I have to agree with the other reviewers. This thong is comfortable. I wore it for an entire day, and did not feel any discomfort. The waist band has the perfect width, and the rest of the material is strong and sturdy. The space in the pouch is perfect as well. I am a size 34, and the Large was just right.2nd update - I wore these on a hiking trip, and they were perfect. There was no discomfort and no rubbing. The total hike lasted 4 hours, and it was a very pleasant experience knowing how great these hold up.

Fits and feels great. Nice thong you can wear every day.Good durability, i used to go with the jockey thong for daily wear, now i switched over to these. Cheaper to buy and durable.

Excellent fit. I ordered large and they fit wonderfully on my 36 inch waist. The waist band is wide, but they ride low on me closer to my groin than my navel, which I prefer.

These thongs ride a little higher than expected by the picture imo. However, if you go smaller they become less comfortable.

Good quality; a medium fit me (30/31 waist) well, maybe a little on the larger/comfy side. Comparable to Papi Men's 3-Pack Cotton Stretch Thong, Black, Medium, but only 2 per pack

Looks good, very comfortable. However still pretty big for a small almost a little too big even after it shrinks from washing and drying.

I have purchased several thong underwear's in the last two years most of them are way too small and way too uncomfortable these fit nice and are enjoyable to wear

They are alright. I wish XL was offered during purchase choice those would've been perfect.

Normally I wear a U.S. large but this has the pouch and strap of a U.S. extra large and the waist of a U.S. medium. I will not be wearing these since they are disproportionate.

These are alright. Fit okay. Could have slightly better shaped pouch but not bad. Could be a little less high rise. But all in all great underwear for the price.

They were a little tight in the crotch for me. I bought the medium thinking they wouldn't be to small. Next time I'll see how the large fit. Other than that they feel quit comfortable all around and in between my cheeks.

They just have to be pulled up way too high in the back to have any kind of support up front

Well made product but offers very little support. Had to return for something else

I love the feel of the cotton, however, the pouch really needs to have more depth and the elastic on the pouch needs to be tighter. Also, the waistband rides a bit high and is a bit tighter than I would've liked it to be.

I prefer one size (your size) bigger. In marketing, Value is perceived Quality divided by the Cost. A cognitive figure of "0.9" represents a customer who has spent money and time to obtain a product and, on receipt/review of goods, is neither happy nor unhappy with the result. Given this benchmark, I rate the experience as "0.7" - not happy. Net result, I have garments I don't wish to wear which also presents the task of sending them back which invariably incurs time and further cost. This sort of thing does not entice me to continue to buy on-line. However, your follow-up e-mail presents very good post-sale customer service. Notwithstanding, if you can recommend an easy way to return these and exchange them for a size bigger, I am interested,

cheep material

too puffy in front needs less material

to big and to hight to me.

I was hoping for a reasonable waist on these, but the waist went up to my belly-button. These should be classified as high-rise thongs. Other than that, they weren't too bad. I like the design of them, but I just can't deal with the high waist.
