content: I'm not the bikini or thong type. I like comfort. I originally bought a pair of these briefs at a travel store when I went to China, so when necessary I would be able to launder them at night and wear them again the next day (they dry quickly). I have discovered that they are also great for working out, or for day wear in the middle of the hot, humid summers here, as the fabric wicks moisture away from the body. I have five or six pair and probably will buy more.
