Brief, thong or jockstrap? Three cuts in the LUREHIM edit

Start with the shape

Colour catches the eye, but the cut gives a piece its shape. If you are comparing briefs, thongs and jockstraps, start by looking at the actual front, side and back photographs. The shape of a waistband, the width of a side strap and the construction at the back can differ from one design to the next.

Here are three specific pieces from the LUREHIM edit. They are individual products, so you can compare the details without assuming that every style with the same cut name fits or looks the same.

The brief: contrast stripes

Stripe Modal Brief pairs a bright orange front with blue, white and orange stripe bands at the sides. The low-rise shape keeps the waistband and the leg openings easy to compare in the supplied studio views.

Start with the visible construction: the front panel, the side bands and the back coverage. Open the product gallery for the other angles, then check this item's own size chart before choosing a label.

The thong: contrast at the waist

Contrast Cotton Thong uses a black body with a yellow-striped waistband in the Yellow option shown here. Yellow names the waistband accent; it does not mean that the whole garment is yellow.

This cotton-blend design makes the contrast easy to see in its supplier photographs. Look through the back and side views on the product page as well as the main photograph when comparing the thong shape with a brief.

The jockstrap: mesh and an open back

Neon Mesh Jockstrap combines a yellow mesh front, black waistband and open-back strap design. The mesh texture and rear straps are separate details to compare with the other two pieces.

Look at the construction in the product photographs. A style photograph shows that particular item and pose; it does not establish how a garment will fit every body.

Choose the item, then check its chart

Supplier size labels vary between products and brands. A label such as M or L is not a universal US or EU measurement. Open the product-specific chart before choosing, and use confirmed measurement definitions when comparing it with your own measurements.

Each of the three pieces is sold individually at $19.99 USD. Styling photographs may include jewellery, other clothing or other colours; your order includes the selected product and colour. Review the current product page and shipping and returns information before ordering.
