PLEASE NOTE: As of September 2024, we have made some slight improvements / updates to the fit & construction of our Swim Thong. For full list of detailed changes, head over to the “IMPROVED fit” tab (above) BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER!
SUMMARY of CHANGES:
- FIT: Sizes SMALL & MEDIUM are more TRUE TO SIZE and have a little more room in the WAIST and the POUCH; and the “GA” logo on the back is larger.
- SIDE WDITH: For Sizes: SMALL - LARGE: The sides are a tiny bit thicker by about 1/8” (3 mm) and now measure about 5/8” (1.6 cm) but there will be some variance from piece to piece.
- For Sizes L, XL & 2X, the fit will be very similar besides a slightly smoother contour in the pouch and less puckering at the top.
-
STITCHING: For ALL SIZES: We switched from a double needle straight stitch, to a ZIG-ZAG stitch for a neater finish and better stretch. (*not shown in photos! see "IMPROVED fit" tab for photos & details*)
ALSO NOTE: NOT ALL of the sizes and colors are the new versions:
Only the Color Squares with the white “N” in the center are the NEW / *IMPROVED version.
For a full breakdown and photo comparisons of all new changes, please head to the “IMPROVED fit” tab above.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW WHICH VERSION I AM ORDERING?
Once you select your size, Look for the white "N" in the Color Squares - The "N" indicates the NEW / *IMPROVED fit* version.
(also indicated in the SKU as shown below):
If the SKU does NOT contain this verbiage, it is the same ORIGINAL fit we have been selling since 2022.
DETAILED LIST OF CHANGES
For sizes XL & 2X: No significant change besides a smoother contour in the front pouch to reduce the “puckering” we would sometimes see at the top of the pouch.
In the photo chart:
The Turquoise Swim Thong is the ORIGINAL version.
The Olive Swim Thong is the NEW IMPROVED fit version.
