What type of swimwear do you guys wear?

[deleted1241326]

I never heard anything referred to as 'footy shorts'--what are they?

They are the shorts our afl and nrl players wear

 

[openfly]

I've always worn board shorts, usually not too long (not surf style).
I've bought a pair of tight shorts to be worn under the board shorts, since I like to do some hiking/walks before actually going to the seaside...
Even though I'm tempted to take board shorts out and go to swim wearing the tight one only, I never did it... Should I?

Ok--Thanks. I get it, for football, right?

I usually wear board shorts. I used to wear speedos and actually do prefer them to board shorts but I don't like the extra attention they cause. People tend to think I have an erection when I wear speedos.

Uhh--why don't you like the attention, and why do you care if they think you might have an erection? I'd think that's fun!

Yep

Yep

I'm American so it'snot the first thing that would come to mind.

My gf bought me this set of suits for this summer. I swear she got me that first white one just to mess with me but it ended up being our favorite, just not quite apporopriate for the neighborhood pool, the second it gets wet, lol:

See It All From Here White Low-Rise Show-Off Swim Briefs

Low-Rise Draw-String White Wave Swim Trunk

Mesh Bermuda Quick-drying Sports Trunks

Anchor Swim Team Official Tryout Qualifier Swim Trunks

Track-to-Laps Cross-trainer's Ultra-Light Quick Dry Run and Swim Trunks With Inner Brief Support

Prefer no suit at all when I can, and when thats not possible I wear swim jammers

Wear just the tight one. You will look good in them and love how they feel. Don't worry about what others think. Enjoy your day at the beach

Try a similar style to the first in a darker color and heavier material. Then you can have almost the same feeling but wear it most places.

Where can you wear that but not be nude?

 

[aldawg]

I love suits that are this length...if I have to wear one!

 

[RamblingCock]

Fortunate to have a private back yard and very tolerant wife: Nothing.

I thoroughly enjoy it and think I may be turning into a nudist.

Nothing at home due to a private back yard and when not at home trunks like these that are Chubbie style.

Any beach!

Those look nice, you should wear them the beach or pool.

On the beach - nothing. In a public swimmingpool - speedos.

Any beach!

UK must be more tolerant of minimal swimwear than US.There are very few places here that would allow it.
