When I first started a Facebook group back in October 2016 dedicated to sexy, stylish underwear and swimwear, I never imagined it would grow into a vibrant community of more than 17,000 members from all over the world. 

What began as a space to celebrate great designs and body confidence has turned into a global family of people who share the same love for unique styles, bold looks, and the freedom of self-expression.

In this post, I want to share the journey of starting the group, what has worked for Mister Mann, and why it has become such a special place for so many.

Why Start a Group About Underwear & Swimwear?

Underwear and swimwear are more than just pieces of clothing—they’re statements of identity, confidence, and personal style. Yet, for many of us, these interests often feel niche or even “taboo” to talk about openly.

I wanted to create a safe, welcoming space where people could:

  • Showcase their favorite designs and collections.
  • Discover new brands, cuts, and styles.
  • Connect with others who share the same appreciation.
  • Celebrate body positivity and individuality.

That vision sparked the idea—and the group was born.

Building the Community

Starting out, it was just a handful of us sharing pictures of our favorite underwear or swimwear finds. But as word spread, the group began to grow steadily. What made the difference was:

  • Consistency in Posting – Sharing new looks, styles, and conversation starters every week kept people engaged.
  • Encouraging Participation – Members aren’t just observers; they’re contributors. Every post from a member helps strengthen the community.
  • Respectful Guidelines – To keep the group fun and welcoming, we set clear rules about respect, positivity, and appropriate sharing.

Over time, this consistency and positive energy attracted thousands of members who wanted to be part of something uplifting and exciting.

What Makes the Group Special

Every community develops its own personality, and ours shines because of our members. Here are a few things that make it unique:

  • Global Inspiration – Members post designs from all over the world, which keeps the group diverse and fresh.
  • Body Positivity – All body types are celebrated, and confidence is encouraged.
  • Style Diversity – From sleek minimal designs to bold, colorful patterns, there’s something for everyone.
  • Friendship & Connection – Beyond fashion, many members have formed friendships, support networks, and even travel meetups.

Lessons Learned From Growing to 17,000+ Members

Building a Facebook group of this size has taught me a few valuable lessons:

  1. Engagement Matters More Than Numbers
    Having active, positive members who love to share is more important than just having a big number.
  2. Moderation is Key
    With growth comes challenges, but strong guidelines and active moderation help keep the space safe and enjoyable.
  3. Celebrate the Community Often
    Milestones, member spotlights, and shoutouts remind everyone that they’re part of something bigger.

Looking Ahead

Reaching over 17,000 members is an amazing milestone, but this is just the beginning. The group will continue to grow, evolve, and stay a place where people can freely enjoy their love of sexy, stylish underwear and swimwear.

I’m so grateful to every member who contributes, comments, and supports others. Without this energy, the group wouldn’t be what it is today.

If you’re passionate about underwear and swimwear design—or simply want to connect with others who are—come join us here. The more, the merrier.

Final Thought: What started as a small idea has blossomed into a global celebration of style, confidence, and community. And I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

More Than Just Looks: Creating a Circular Economy

One of the most fascinating aspects of our group is how it’s evolved beyond simple admiration of designs. Members don’t just show off their favorite underwear or swimwear—they actively buy, sell, and swap brand new & pre-loved items. This practice has created a kind of circular economy within the community. 

As we celebrate reaching over 17,000 members, it’s clear that this group has become so much more than just a Facebook community. It’s a place where people connect through a shared love of design, celebrate confidence in every form, and inspire one another to embrace their own style. I’m incredibly grateful for the energy, positivity, and creativity each member brings—and I can’t wait to see how our community continues to grow and evolve in the future.
