  Tan-thru swim trunks work for me. Almost like wearing nothing at all but provides the necessary coverage. I have a couple of pairs and can't imagine wearing anything more for swimming and sunning at non- CO beaches and pools .

  Cool-tan is the brand I have. They have lined racer-style suits. The swim trunks and board shorts are unlined. I prefer the trunks. They suggest oversizing for better "concealment ". I have a pair that are oversized and one that isn't. It all depends on how much detail you're comfortable revealing as the material is very thin. My wife seems to enjoy the looks I get when wearing the regular size. That size does feel more comfortable. A big plus is that the material dries almost instantly so no clammy swim suit!

  Tan thru suits for us in Canada means extra duties and taxes to import so I try to buy off the shelf, usually a speedo type swimsuit. I do prefer something unlined that shows a little.

  I have a question for the guys who have Tan thru suits? Does your pubic hair poke though? I know some of you are probably smooth or trim but I'm wondering for the full bush guys.

  Also how see thru can they be? I have a PA and while I like the noticeable indentation of the ring showing, I don't want any shine of the jewelry to show through.

  Thanks.

  I've never had problems with pubic hair showing through but I think you may have a problem with sunlight glinting off any jewelry. The material is designed to let sunlight through and it works both ways.

  I certainly do not have a speedo body, but hate the big floppy suits that are common place right now. I wear either spandex exercise shorts or sports underwear with a bit of a leg. For me they are comfortable, and they dry quickly. Have never had any trouble from anyone while wearing them in a pool or at the beach. The exercise shorts have a draw string, the underwear do not so diving might be out of the question with them.

  Based on the recommendation of someone else on here (AndyandDi), I got a tan through suit to wear when I have to wear one. It is very light, almost like being naked. I got one of the swimsuit length suits, so it isn't too long. It definitely doesn't hide anything and I love how light it is. It also dries very quickly, which is one of the issues I always have with regular swimsuits.

  I have worn many different styles except for board shorts. Ive never thought of them as suitable for swimming.
  
  I liked speedo style suits for a while since they do dry fast and I once had a body that actually looked good in them. My only difficulty was fitting my equipment in them without appearing obscene.
  
  It was on a Windjammer Barefoot Cruise many years ago that I gave up wearing them. That was when I finally gave up trying to hide something that just didnt want to be hidden. Fortunately the ladies on board didn't seem to mind at all.
  
  Realizing that skinny dipping was not appropriate in many places, I tried mesh gym shorts (not the dumb looking knee- length kind). Unlined and lightweight, they also dried quickly.
  
  Then I found the Cool Tan trunks. I wear them whenever I cant skinny dip. I wear them on the beach in Cabo and at the resort pools. No one has ever acted like they were offended and I still get silent, but smiling compliments from the ladies with or without them. Not bad for a guy my age.

  I wear an unlined Skinzwear Rio when I have to wear a swimsuit. Partial rear coverage and an adjustable pouch. They have many materials some of which are see through when wet. Almost no weight and not constricting at all.

I bought a sunseeker but am reluctant to wear it in public since the front and back panels are so narrow that they essentially cover the cock. balls and crack and leave the rest exposed.

  [quote]When you have to wear a swimsuit, what do you wear. Speedo solar has been my choice in the past, but since I stopped wearing underwear I find it very constricting even though the coverage is minimal. Any suggetions?[/quote] I usually were thongs and G-strings by Skinzwear

  I prefer the loose fit and length of th Cool-Tan trunks. Just long enough for good coverage and no more.

  I do lots of pool swimming for health & fitness plus ocean swims over summer. The speedo brand is still popular but there are lots like them. There is a brand here called "Budgy Smuggler" (think about that if you don't know the brand) and they are good but not tan thru. There are lots of smaller and better looking briefs on line, just have to search, the fit well , keep the bits in (which is necessary in a public pool) and look good.

  The Budgy Smuggler brand refers to boards shorts as "curtains of shame" , funny and sort of says it all. The ongoing angst between surf club members, life savers etc. and surfers who often think they have a mortgage on cool.

  Cheers, SBN.

  [quote]If I have to wear something then the smallest trunks I can find. In the garden (unless I am naked, which is most of the time) I roll the tops down as much as possible.[/quote] Used to roll the top of my speedo down when I was sunning before I got my privacy fence. Now I swim and sun naked often enough that I don't bother to do so. I do frequently roll down the top of my gym shorts when working outside the pool enclosure.. When i do so, they seem to rise up a little so they are both lower and shorter.

  I've noticed a few brands, some of which are unlined or unlined in certain colors so be careful when wet.

  Aussie Bum
  Budgy Smuggler
  Ca-Rio-Ca Sunga
  Cool Tan
  Muscleskins
  N2N
  Skinz Wear
  Speedo
  Tan Through Swimsuit

  I'm sure the list can go on and on. I prefer a speedo style when I have to wear something, from there it depends on the crowd that will be around to determine how brief, color, lined or unlined, etc.

  When I have to - classic American oversized boxer style trunks with lots of pockets.

  However, looking forward to checking out the "tan-thru" type that everyone is talking about. There are places where a suit must be worn!

  I would think your best bet is Ebay. There are a LOT to choose from there, mostly out of China and quite inexpensive. Shipping may take a couple weeks but guessing you wont be hitting the beach in GB anytime soon. Be sure to check the details because China sizing is much different than the rest of the world. check the inches or centimeters before you buy!
