Penguin g-string - g-string discontinued by Coquette - review by Breas

The Penguin G-String by Coquette is available in one-size-fits-most only. I had previously purchased another male novelty g-string by another company but it was a total flop, both literally and figuratively. I had purchased one of the Penguin G-Strings to see the quality, sizing, etc because I was interested in purchasing these as funny stocking stuffers for the holidays.

The G-String arrived in a durable plastic packaging; similar to the type of packaging a costume would come in. There is a cardboard insert that makes up the front of the packaging and the back of the package has a snap closure at the centre top. The cardboard insert has a photo of the product and states the product name, size, and colour.



The packaging is cute but I won’t be using it to store the underwear. My partner will store the underwear in a drawer. I’ll recycle the cardboard insert and use the durable plastic bag to keep other things (hair accessories or whatever). The packaging is not discreet so you will probably want to wrap the packaging with paper or put it into a bag if you’re giving it as a gift.

The underwear is 80% nylon and 20% spandex, exclusive of trim. Both waistband and penguin face are stretchy. The penguins face does not become sheer the more it is stretched. I’ve taken a few measurements of the g-string laying flat, not stretched. If you need any additional measurements, please send me a message and I’d be happy to get them for you.

Waistband unstretched: 14 ½ inches
Waistband stretched as much as I could: 26 ¼ inches
Width of penguin face (at top of underwear): 5 ¾ inches

The black part of the penguins face feels like velour. It’s very soft. The penguin has black button eyes and stitched thread for eyebrows. The button eyes are only attached with a few stitches of very thin thread. You’ll probably want to add a few more stitches to secure them to the underwear. The penguin’s beak is orange and protrudes from the front of the g-string. It protrudes approximately 1 ¾ inches off the underwear. The beak is stuffed with, what I believe to be, cotton.



The area where the balls would sit is a fairly decent length. I measured from the “chin” of the penguin to the very back of the fabric where the fabric meets the string (that runs up the bum). This area is about 5 inches in length when not stretched. The entire inner area of the g-string is very soft. My partner said that the material was comfortable against the skin.

Since my partner won’t model in photos for my review, I put the underwear on The Realistic Cock dildo. The dildo has an insertable length of 6 5/8 inches and the circumference is 5 ½ inches. I suction cupped the dildo to the wall to give you a better idea of what the g-string will look like when it is worn.



This issue with this was that the dildo is erect. With the dildo being erect, I had to hold the underwear down against it. It looks a lot nicer when the wearer does not have an erect penis. For most men, this probably won’t be a problem since they are wearing a g-string with a penguins face on it.

The pouch fits the wearer’s penis and balls quite nicely. My partner really liked the way it held everything snugly. This may not be the case for everyone. I assume that if the wearer has very large testicles and is a “show-er not a grow-er”, it may be a bit too tight on his package. My partner wears a size L-XL, depending on the brand. The underwear fit him well and the sides of the g-string were not cutting into his hip area.

Other than the button eyes being sewn to the underwear with only a few thin threads, the quality is good. The care tag states that the underwear should be hand washed only and hung to dry.

Now for a bit of fun… It’s that time again! A quick battle royale! The opponent is the Elephant Squeaker G-String. Only one novelty g-string can be left standing!



Price→ Penguin wins.
Penguin is only $11.99 while the Elephant is a whopping $17.99. That’s a $6.00 difference!

Appearance→ Penguin wins.
The way the Penguin g-string looks in the stock photo is the way it looks on the wearer. The Elephant g-string stock photo is very deceiving. The ears to the Elephant sag and are floppy, and the trunk is just as hideous.

Sizing→ Elephant wins.
The Penguin has a stretchy waistband but it is not elastic. The waistband on the Penguin g-string ranges with stretch from 14-26 inches while the Elephant waistband ranges from 11-35 inches.

Fit→ Penguin wins.
The Penguin g-string holds the wearers package snugly and the wearer does not need to be erect. The elephant g-string sags off the wearer’s body. The trunk would fit best for someone with a very thin, long penis (and even then it will still look awkward).

Extra Features→ Elephant wins.
The Elephant has an extra feature while the Penguin g-string does not. The extra feature is at the end of the trunk- it squeaks.

In conclusion, the Penguin G-String is better priced, better quality, a better fit, and has a better appearance. The Elephant G-string does have more stretch to it but it looks absolutely terrible when worn. So while it may accommodate larger sizes, it's not a good product. Also, the extra feature to the Elephant g-string is rather pointless. I would never recommend the Elephant G-string to anybody but the Penguin G-string is quite nice. I’ve deducted one star from the rating for two small things: the fact that the buttons are only secured to the underwear with a few thin threads and the fact that it’s not available in larger sizes.
