Gregg Homme Thorn Thong

### **Comfort**

The product is designed with specific features to address comfort in high-friction areas:

* **Breathability:** The pouch is made of ultra-soft, see-through mesh designed to be breathable and let "the boys" breathe [3], [2].

* **Zipper Protection:** To prevent the metal zipper from irritating the skin, the thong features a smooth knit backing behind the closure for comfort [2].

* **Fabric Feel:** The manufacturer describes the fabric as the "perfect balance between opacity and breathability" and "never too hot, never too cold" [3]. The texture is described intriguingly as "Not rough, not soft," intended to provide a specific "sexy touch" [3].

* **Fit:** It utilizes an elastic waistband and covered elastic edges at the leg openings to ensure a close, secure fit [2].

### **Durability**

* **Materials:** The thong is constructed from a blend of **82% Polyamide and 18% Elastane** (Spandex), offering a balance of stretch and support [3], [4].

* **Construction:** The brand claims the item provides the "right amount of stretch versus support" [3].

* **Brand Reputation:** While specific long-term wear data for the Thorn is unavailable, reviews for the brand generally (such as for the "Torrid" line) describe Gregg Homme underwear as "great quality" [5] and "built to last" [6]. Users generally regard the brand as high-end, noting that despite being pricey, they are "some of the best made undies on the market" [6].

### **Sexy (Aesthetic Appeal)**

The Thorn Thong is heavily focused on visual appeal and "fetish fashion" elements:

* **Sheer Design:** The upper front and pouch are semi-opaque to see-through, offering a "seductive look" [7], [2].

* **Key Features:** The centerpiece is a stylish, functional gray-tone metal zipper [3], [2].

* **Patterns:** The design includes a "shiny rose print" on the waistband and a polka dot pattern on the thong panel and lower front [1], [2].

* **Cut:** It is a mid-rise style with minimal rear coverage [2].

### **Costs**

The Thorn Thong is a premium designer item with prices varying by retailer and region:

* **United States/Canada:** Listings show a price of roughly **$45.00** (discounted from $52.95) [3].

* **United Kingdom:** It is listed at **£29.00** (RRP £32.00) [8].

**Note on Sizing:**
