Can’t men wear thongs?

Thongs can be worn by men and were originally designed for men. Speaking of which, we have to mention the history of the transformation of men’s underwear.

In the Paleolithic era, , men had to go out hunting. Initially, it was to facilitate hunting. Men would use animal skins to protect their private parts.

Later agriculture developed . After the pre-Qin period, people wore loose clothes, but most of them were in a vacuum state.

Counting together, the early two wide trouser legs are considered the earliest prototype of male thongs. The earliest thongs had no waist or crotch.

Wide trousers, tied around the waist with a rope, are called "ku"

Ancient etiquette requires people to sit on their knees. This kind of ku (ku) is extremely easy to reveal because it is open. Not only is it impolite but it is also indecent.

During the Warring States Period crotchless pants began to appear in the Central Plains.

However, these crotch pants are only used in military applications. Except for people in the army, most others are in a vacuum state.

The real thong is mainly originated from the West.

Probably in the murals of ancient Egypt , you can see the earliest cases of men wearing underwear.

Women will also use some cloth to cover key parts at home, leaving other parts in a vacuum state.

This is the original source and prototype of thong.

Later in the 13th century, Braies appeared.

This kind of pants is loose and fat, with a rope to tie around the waist. People wear them when working.

However, it was very inconvenient to go to the toilet every time when working. During the Renaissance, an opening was opened in the crotch to facilitate men to go to the toilet. This was also the earliest true prototype of underwear today.

6th century, men would use some metal materials or leather materials to cover key parts, people would use some other cloth to cover them.

At that time, in addition to religious people, kings and people loved it very much, and different materials also represented different status.

It is said that some princes and nobles will have their crotch bags covered with embroidery and jewelry to show their nobility.

For example, Vittore Carpaccio's work "Young Knight in the Landscape" also shows us the popularity and style of crotch bags at that time.

Later, because the materials were too difficult to find, people gradually abandoned the crotch bag, and the crotch bag type of thong was also abandoned.

Later, men began to wear some jumpsuits. There would be an opening on the trousers to make it easier for men to go to the toilet.

Later, it continued to develop, and there were briefs, and later, there were boxer briefs, and men also had more choices.

At present, most of the styles of men's and women's underwear come from the West.

What is the connection between thongs and underwear?

Thongs are a type of underwear.

At the 1939 New York World's Fair many dancers would dance at the World's Fair in order to heighten the atmosphere. The mayor of New York City thought it was very indecent, ordered all dancers to wear thongs, the main function at that time was to use To cover up shame.

In the 1930s , Hollywood many stars also began to wear thongs, and even wore them on the streets. For a time, thongs became synonymous with sexiness and fashion.

However, because thongs had too little fabric and placed too much emphasis on sexiness, thongs began to evolve slowly again.

In the 21st century, in order to avoid the embarrassment caused by wearing fabrics such as yoga pants suit pants, seamless underwear, also known as thongs, was produced. , the main function of thong at this time is to avoid embarrassment in and leave no trace of .

It is worth mentioning that the T-string underwear in women's underwear has gradually been absorbed into the culture of men's underwear. Combined with the historical data that underwear was originally designed for men, men gradually began to have men's thong underwear in the current sense.

Men's thongs in the modern sense also use very little material, and only cover key parts.

Although thongs are very good, in the modern sense, thongs are considered to be a kind of underwear, and are not separate outer clothing..

Since they are underwear, they cannot be worn on the street, otherwise it will be offensive to morals. This is the main reason why a Korean man was fined 150,000 won..
