It was by pure chance that I recently came to know of this society in England. It was established in 1912 to promote the health benefits of the Thong. Thong is just another English word for Komanam or Kaupinam. The Society has a blog at : http://britishthongsociety.blogspot.com/ and was founded by Sir Henry Peel a famous explorer. Its members included George Bernard Shaw, Captain Scott the antarctic explorer and H.G.Wells. All very famous personalities, noted for their intelligence and scholarship or achievements. And they all shared a preference for the Thong, which is great to know.
It seems the Society has a good base even at present. But I wish it had posted in the blog some details on the health benefits of the article. It would have been interesting to know what the members of this British group think the benefits are. But the full blog and archives are open only to members. Membership is available by emailing : britishthongsociety@yahoo.co.uk .
The Thong Journal
The journal is a bumper edition this year, with seventeen articles and dozens of reviews of the latest in thongs. We also have a special interview with TV actor David Jason on why he became a late convert to the thong. It also has the usual competitions, prize drawers, and reports of thong-related events across the country.For non-members, the Journal is priced £8.00 and can be purchased by writing to the Society at the above address.
A Committed Group
This society seems to be different from the Loincloth groups on internet because it is seriously devoted to the promotion of the Thong as sensible underwear. No explicit mention of sexual arousal and so on, I mean. Certainly thongs or Komanam are good for healthy sex but the Thong is more than that - it is sensible and practical, comfortable innerwear as the Society thinks (and this blog is in full agreement). Which is why the Society's membership can be recommended to readers. That the Society is serious about the thong is clear from the following press release :

Press Release
Recent promotion of novelty thongs in the UK has been drawn to the attention of the British Thong Society. It is clear that the display of this kind of underwear can be detrimental to the long term goals of our society. Although the Society works hard to educate the country as to the healthy benefits to be had by wearing thongs, it is clear that much work has yet to be done to bring thong wearing into the mainstream of British society.Accordingly, the executive committee of the British Thong Society is today issuing a press release. in relation to the manufacture of comedy thongs.It reads:
Members of the British Thong Society would like to make it clear that we condone the wearing of comedy thongs. It is the long held view of the Society that publicity relating to thongs in the shape of chickens, snakes, and hairy lemmings, does not accurately represent the views of sensible thong wears in the UK.Furthermore. In our fight to get the thong recognised as a sensible underwear, we do not think it right to promote, sell, or manufacture items of clothing that do not further that aim. We would like out membership to boycott these novelty thongs and to encourage their friends and family to do likewise. Thongs have been long known to have many medical benefits and reducing them to the things of cheap and vulgar jokes does nothing but mock wearers everywhere.
Giggleberry Thong style Underwear
From the Thong society blog I found this site - http://www.giggleberries.co.uk/index.asp
Some types of Thong or Komanam like underwear. The Olaf Benz Pahantom tanga looks like a good Komanam. But it is lycra and synthetics like that. Those interested may give it a try. For me the good old Komanam is fine. It is tear and wear, soft and strong and self fitted. Nothing can match it.
Please visit the Society's site. I think it is a good idea to try the membership. Their choice of logo is also good.

Nice posts sir...
Just read your blog and wanted to congratulate the efforts.
Throwing the light on komanam and such loin cloths.
Have always had a doubt comparing thong with komanam this cleared it.
Pls keep posting.
It is nice reading this post and at the same time feeling very bad that we don't give any importance to the ancient costume which is of with real health benefits to the wearer. Having discoverd by our ancestors to the genarations even this also we have to learn from the british means...
Better late than never,those interested will enjoy the benefits

Many thanks for the efforts.
