Underwear Guy Review: 2Xist Thong
Designer/Manufacturer: 2Xist
Website: www.2xist.com
Price: $10.00

After reviewing the C-In2 thong it seemed like a natural follow-up to review the 2Xist y-back thong. The 2Xist brand has been a men's underwear fashion pioneer since its founding in 1991 when it entered the market with a core line of t-shirts, boxer-briefs, briefs, sport briefs, and this thong which has remained a 2Xist standard throughout the years with just some minor updates on the design. The 2Xist core line is labeled as the 3100 range and consists of a 100% cotton fabric available in just the basic colors of black and white. The sizing of 2Xist underwear is generally true-to-size although I found that because the elastic of this waistband doesn't have a lot of stretch to it, the feeling was a bit on the tighter side. The waistband is not uncomfortable but I just wanted to flag that for anyone who might fall on the upper range of a given size e.g. closer to a 33" - 34" waist on a medium considering that I fall an the lower range of a medium at 32". The waistband is fairly large at 1 1/2" tall with dark gray 2Xist logos repeated front to back. The interior of the waistband has a texturized microfiber facing which helps with comfort and softness. The 2Xist logo tag in the back is a very minimal 1 1/4" wide by 3/4" tall nylon fabric with a small side tag attached on the right side to note size and wash/care instructions. The back of this thong is a y-strap design with 1/2" wide all-cotton fabric composing the two diagonal straps and the base which attaches to the pouch in front. The straps are comfortable and easy enough to wear all-day -for anyone who is not as accustomed to thongs this would make for a good introduction. The pouch is composed of single-layer cotton which is thinner than I would personally like but overall it is well-designed with good support and a cut that helps to lift and accentuate your package while still providing ample room up-front. The edges of the pouch are finished with 1/2" of the cotton fabric folded-over and sewn flat.

The Grades:

Fit:	A-	For the most part the fit on this thong was good with the pouch providing a nice amount of structured lift and the y-back straps cut to the right length. The waist sizing is just slightly on the snug side so keep that in mind when purchasing.	Pouch Fit
Design:	A-	I would really like to see some other color choices in the 2Xist thong cut but the design is functional, sporty and masculine so a positive score here.
Material:	B+	I would have liked a slightly thicker cotton for the base material given that it's single-layer in the pouch but otherwise this is a good material for underwear.
Construction:	A+	The construction on this thong was very good with straight lines on the stitching, no loose threads and strong seams.
Overall Grade:	A-	Overall this is a very good underwear offering from 2Xist that hits all the good points for a thong with a nice pouch and easy-to-wear back.
Would I buy another pair? Yes, I wouldn't mind adding another 2Xist thong to my underwear collection even though I'd love more color options at least I can try the black version.
