Abstract: An open-sided thong-type brief garment having a resilient wire frame including an anterior frame portion and a posterior frame portion which curve inwardly towards one another in a spring-biased arrangement. The anterior frame portion configured in a symmetrical U-shape and is adapted to curve around the genital region of the wearer in tensioned engagement. The anterior frame portion has an arcuate base and two upwardly extending stems terminating in closed loops. The posterior frame portion is attached to the arcuate base and is configured to curve upwardly between the buttocks of the wearer. The posterior frame portion terminates in a closed loop adapted for tensioned engagement with the sacrum of the wearer. The garment includes a fabric covering on the frame which includes a substantially triangular-shaped front fabric panel which spans the anterior frame portion to conceal the groin area of the wearer.
