6. Bikini
Types of underwear
worn by both men and
women are identified as
bikini underwear, similar
in size and revealing
nature to the bottom
half of a bikini bathing
suit. For men, a bikini is a
type of undergarment
that is smaller and more
revealing than men's
briefs.

7. Thong
Viewed from the front, the thong
typically resembles a bikini
bottom, but at the back the
material is reduced to a minimum.
Thongs are almost always designed
to cover the genitals, pubic hair,
anus, and perineum, and leave
part or most of the buttocks
uncovered. The back of the
garment typically consists of a thin
waistband and a thin strip of
material, designed to be worn
between the buttocks, that
connects the middle of the
waistband with the bottom front
of the garment.

8. G-String
A G-string is a type of
thong underwear or
swimsuit, a narrow piece
of cloth, leather, or
plastic, that covers or
holds the genitals, passes
between the buttocks,
and is attached to a band
around the hips, worn as
swimwear or underwear.

9. Jockstrap
A jockstrap consists of a waistband
(usually elastic) with a support
pouch for the genitalia and two
elastic straps affixed to the base of
the pouch and to the left and right
sides of the waistband at the hip.
The pouch, in some varieties, may
be fitted with a pocket to hold an
impact resistant cup to protect the
testicles and/or the penis from
injury, such as penile fracture.
Fashion jockstraps follow the
design of sports models but
appear in a variety of colors and
fabrics.
