A Banana Hammock is an informal phrase (slang) given to a tight-fitting thong-like underwear, swimming brief or swimsuit worn by men. Generally the type of tight underwear or swimwear worn outlines the ‘parts’ of the male package hence leading to the banana shape name. The g-string design of the underwear helps to define a hammock setup. Both of these concepts combine to give a vision of a Banana in a Hammock.

The outfit can be worn by all men and is usually worn by men at the beach as well as men who participate in bodybuilding, dancing, diving, swimming and even by male models. The hammock is very comfortable to wear and attracts a lot of attention. Click here for more information on What is a Banana Hammock.

Finding Your Best Fit

The interactive comparison chart above shows a huge range of men’s underwear and g-strings that are currently available on the market. Obviously your individual taste will determine which style of underwear you prefer. Before you start salivating even more over your next purchase, lets take a look at the general guidelines of how to measure the correct size of underwear to help you find your best fit.

When you measure your hips to determine the size of underwear, stand straight up with your feet together. Then using a loose measuring tape, measure around the fullest part of your hips and rear. Make sure to measure over your underwear and not over your clothes. If you do not have a loose measuring tape, then you can try measuring around your waist with a piece of string and then measure the distance of the string with a ruler.

After measuring around your waist, you can use the general chart below to help you choose your underwear size. Please note that different manufactures have their own size recommendation guidelines.

Size	Waist (in inches)
XS	26-28
S	28-30
M	30-32
L	32-34
XL	34-36
