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?

    if I really have to cover up, shorts but most of the time i'm wearing a thong or G-string if I can't be naked. I love the skinzswim and muscleskins brands

    Cooltan also makes tan through suits
    https://www.tanthrough.com/index.htm
    More expensive, but they also sell suits with more coverage for situations where a swim brief would be inappropriate.

    I have a couple tan thru suits as well as speedos. I do like both. I also wear what used to be called silkies or ranger panties. They are the original shorts that were issued in military.. similar to old fashioned running shorts. You can still buy them .. made by a company called Soffe. I def. suggest trying them

    I had never heard of such a swimsuit before! I just checked out their website and will definitely purchase a pair or two!

    There are at least 2 companies that sell tan through suits.
    Kiniki is less expensive but only sells relatively brief suits.
    Cool Tan costs more, but has all styles of swimwear.

    Checking this thread for ideas as we are going to have a house guest for part of the summer. I cant stand the bagged up feel of speedos and no interest in what shows or not, just comfortable for me AND our guest. Last fall I found some short inseam running shorts that with the liner removed are pleasant to wear. They are made of some silky fast dry stuff. Cant stand the stoopid board shorts either! So I guess for me its the same as always, if I cant skinnie dip then it is just the shorts I have on. Oh well interesting thread, anyhow.

    When I decide to wear anything to swim, my choice is bikini bottoms. The array of choice is wide, the colors are pretty, the fit can be an issue with some styles.

    I find Kinki tan-through tangas are the most comfortable of the styles available for wearing in almost all textile locations. The exception is the local municipal pool where I wear a 2" side brief.

    Have you ever tried the full cut Kiniki brief?
    Enough coverage for almost any location and the same lightweight, less restrictive, quick drying fabric as styles with less coverage.

Tried both micros and tangas but they were both a little to brief for me to be comfortable wearing in a setting where clothing is required.

    Saw something called Thinskinz on the Skinzwear website.
    Has anyone tried it?
    Does it have the same light comfortable feel as tan through fabric?
    How revealing is it?

    I usually wear a brief/speedo. I found a site online that makes them to order in the cut and colors you want. Very happy with his work.

    If I have to wear a suit, I'll wear a speedo type suit, usually from Andrew Christian or AussieBum. Their suits seem to have a good fit without being too restrictive, and they dry quickly when out of the water. I can't stand wearing regular trunks or board shorts, to me it feels like you're swimming with a snow suit on!

    I ordered a cooltan swimsuit. It arrived yesterday and today I wore it in my pool. I only swim naked late at night because there are houses all around my house that can easily look into my pool. Wearing the cooltan suit I felt free in the pool and had no reservations with the suit. I was nervous about climbing the ladder to get out, but one quick snap of the fabric and it released from my boys and I had no problem with coverage. I'm glad I bought the suit. I'll probably get another.

    I have many pairs of the cool-tan tan thru boxer and speedo type suits. I keep the boxers at each door as well in case I have to put something on if someone comes to the door. I love the feel of the boxers as they are so thin. They dry quickly and are very comfortable.

    [quote]I think the last time I swam in a public pool was at a remote hotel in the Oklahoma Panhandle. I just wore Papi thong underwear since I didn't have a swimsuit but it was so hot I just had to get in. That was about 12 years ago, I got lots of looks but no complaints! But then I had an all over than to begin with so no suntan lines! LOL[/quote] How long has it been since you owed swimwear?
