Why the swimbriefs has a small lining inside the front?

[zungaboy]

Hi Friends, I have some ideas about why the swimbriefs have a small lining inside at the front (like a triangle), I repeat, “I have some ideas” but really I am not completely sure what are the real reasons.
I think is for not show the shape of the male genitalia, not show the penis when the speedo become transparent when it is wet after to swimming, to keep the penis in a comfortable position and don’t moving to all sides all the day, to dissimulate erections, etc.. But really Someone knows exactly why the speedo have this lining?....

When you arrive at a pool you will change into you speedos, head for the toilets, empty your bladder than head for the pool.
Almost every male leaves one drop of urine behind that soaks into the liner and does not show from the outside.
During your long day on the beach you might get a slight erection and generate a drop or two of precum, this again will be absorbed by the liner and avoid the embarrassment of a damp patch.
Wearing an unlined suit is perfectly comfortable but people will notice erections and damp patches. Then again you may want them too.

Liners are made from smoother all nylon than the Lycra blend used for the suit itself. This in part is a comfort issue, especially for guys who typically put their penises in an "up" position, with the ultra-sensitive underside pressing tight against the nylon of the liner. The liner also plays a role not only in reducing transparency when wet. but also reducing the visibility of the outline of the shape of the guy's penis even when the suit is dry. Some guys think its fun to be visible, and cut out the linings. But some suits are sold that do not have any lining.

Mmmm, maybe to absorb the urine drop is the primary reason for the lining in the speedo??? and maybe all the other reason such as immobilizing the penis, hide the shape of the penis, hide the erections, and to absorb the precum are "an extra plus of the lining".. but.. ¿is definitely "to absorb drops of orine" the first function of the lining or maybe is the another of the list?.....

[ReservedEnthusiast]

I too have always thought it was to decrease the likelihood of showing the outline and shape of your manhood when wet or showing arousal. It's definitely saved me in both of those senses!

[zungaboy]

WOW!!! All here we have different points of view about what is the real first function of the lining!!! ….maybe some book or link of the “History of the swimming brief” have some explanation…

if you were wearing soccer shorts you would wear cotton briefs underneath to give support and to keep the fabric of the soccer shorts clean.
It is the same with the liner in swim briefs.
Have you ever worn swim briefs or a swim bikini without a liner ?
The Elizabethans wore washable linen underwear under their jewel encrusted outer clothing, they rarely washed their bodies but were supplied with fresh linen.

I have a small Aussibum swimming squarepant WITH a small lining in front BUT it isn’t made with cotton/nylon, it is made in the same lycra of the brief (like a second extra layer)…. Really it (made with the same lycra, but with 2 layers of fabric) help to hide the shape of the genitalia but don’t make a lot of compression… them when I have an erection I show a bigger bulge in this brief… bigger bulge but it no show “shape” that make obvious it is an erection….

The lining is for modesty purposes. A suit without a liner is more revealing and in some cases transparent. Here's an answer Speedo gave to a question about liners on their website:

You can be assured of the front gusset only if you purchase a dark colorway. Please note, we double line the brighter colors for modesty as they tend to be a bit transparent when wet.

Speaking from experience, unlined suits can be very revealing. I bought an unlined bikini once without thinking about it. When I came into the dressing room after swimming and looked in the mirror, I could see everything. Guess everybody got a nice show at the beach that day. :cool:

You are right SpeedoMom, the lining help to keep the modesty, but also I know some female bikinis have the lining not in front of the pant but only down in the pant (down and middle), them that’s mean the lining also is to absorbing body fluids. In fact some guys commonly eliminate drops of precum during the day, no all the guys have this “Problem”, but some guys have better libido than another….

When shy guy swimmers do wear speedo, they like the snug and secure feeling in them and especially how the inside lining tickles all their privates. Some younger guys need help getting them off, being the speedos feel so good and:o get an erection while wearing them. At times, after swimming in the pool and it's time to shower and change, they are somewhat shy about getting naked before showering, yet savoring the tickling feeling of their tight wet speedo swim briefs. This is when our older mentors, like uncles will first try talking them out of their shyness. He has a change of clothes ready for our shy friend, not ready take off his speedo. Soon his mentor will slowly untie the draw string, gently stretching the tight wet waist band, as the younger fellow will squirm and blush, now having a nice boner snug under the wet speedo. His mentor will pull and tug the shy fellow's suit down, despite his playful resistance, Soon his mentor has it below his waist, when the shy one looks down seeing the dangling draw strings and white colored inside lining now showing, as the speedo logo is covered under the rolled down bright colored outside and only the white lining is showing. His mentor will gently peel off the still clinging wet speedo off his lowers, as the shy guy will still try stopping his mentor from getting it off, then seeing and feeling just the white lining inside slip free from his excited privates and is now naked, erect and ready for his shower, as the mentor frees his kicking legs from the tangled rolled down wet speedo, showing only the white colored inside lining. When the shy fellow looks down seeing only the inside lining, he knows his mentor will have it off him very soon, despite his playful shy resistance.

This response is creepy as hell.

Dash, you hit the nail on the head. I wish this site's monitor would delete that entire post.

I might make the case that the liner helps keep the "structure" of the pouch intact longer, so your bulge doesn't hang between your thighs any faster than it has to. :P

none of my suits have liners, whether they originally had one or not. If I'm going swimming in public, I have a nice swim jock to act as such a lining.

[midlifeswimmer]

The front liner is generally a less stretchy fabric that the body of the suit, so that it holds things a bit flatter, and makes the suit less "shape revealing."

It's only on very pale colored suits that the liner becomes a prevention of "see through."

Speedo USA has taken to full liners on quite a few of their suits these days, particularly Endurance Lite ones, and ones with light colors in the pattern. They're often black, which causes the suit to look a lot less colorful when wet. That's a downer in my opinion.

Liners are important, lets be honest, at a public pool where there is a wide variety of people using the pool it is only fitting not to offend by wearing a suite without a liner, consider kids of all ages and pro swimmer teen age boys in particular will be annoyed and highly offended and they have every right to be.

No kid wants to see a weirdo with his vpl so obvious in a swimsuit, its vile..

Wearing a suite without a liner will get you kicked out where I go and they have my full support on this as the rules clearly state correct swimwear to be worn, I seriously don't understand why anyone would want to show the VPL at a public facility, seriously nobody is interested.

I'm a very regular swimmer at the pool I go to and have never seen any hanky panky going on, what you read on the net is possible but I highly doubt its regular and if any.
If I did pick up on some activity at my pool I would without hesitation report the disgraceful behaviour

Oh yes, I wear swim briefs that have the lining in and will happily strip off to my swim suite in front of anybody of any race or religion and that I couldnt careless about as after all its a swimming pool.
