Where do you plan to wear your first swim brief: public pools, busy beaches, quiet beaches, garden pools or just in the bedroom ?
Yes the Brave Person bikini brief is about 1" at the sides and it is a low cut Japanese style suit.
This is quite an extreme choice for a first swim brief, the lighter colours will be quite see through and whatever colour your choose you will catch peoples eyes and get second looks.
Most men choose a black or navy 3" or 4" racing brief as their first brief swim suit and work their way to something briefer and brighter. Before you wear the brief that you buy wear it in the shower at home and find out what happens when it gets wet, it's best to know before you wear it in public.
As you put on your first swim brief for the first time in public expect to get a bit excited, get to the pool as fast as you can without drawing attention to yourself dive in and do a few lengths/laps to distract yourself.
Remember to tie the waist cord tightly if you intend to dive in. Tuck it in for swimming, let it dangle for the showers afterwards.

Another popular choice for a first timer is called a square cut. It's less brief. https://www.amazon.com/Speedo-PowerFLEX-Shoreline-Square-Swimsuit/dp/B000YT3UFY/ref=pd_sbs_200_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000YT3UFY&pd_rd_r=HQP6EJJ0NYJQ0XSCBVBY&pd_rd_w=e2g6A&pd_rd_wg=VMMXT&refRID=HQP6EJJ0NYJQ0XSCBVBY

There are many different styles of square cuts on the market. Some also would try a jammer https://www.amazon.com/TYR-Solid-Durafast-Jammer-Black/dp/B001M9HAVK/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1522176573&sr=1-6&keywords=jammer+swimsuit+men&dpID=31qH7bEM1HL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I personally prefer the brief or the square.

That Brave Person swim bikini is the same suit I mentioned and posted photos in this post (http://www.mensswimsuitboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2216&page=3). All of my photos are of the suits with the liner removed. I think if you left the liner in and got the size right, you would probably be fine if you're comfortable in a smaller brief. That suit is more like 2 inches on the sides. If you're afraid it might be too brief for starting out, it's always better to start bigger and work your way down. My personal favorite, is the Truwest Racer Suit (http://store.truwest.com/Mens-Lycra-Racer-Suit_p_136.html). It has 3 inch sides and is super comfortable, with or without a liner. If you have any questions or want to see more pictures, send me a message.

Hi happy, I’d agree with torchwatch about what you intended to do with it , where you live geographically , and simply how much nerve you have . I really like skimpy thin sided suits . I think they look great but it does take a bit of courage to wear in a board short environment .
3 inch suits are fairly conservative and in my opinion not really that interesting . I’ve just got a two inch suit in yellow but it is a genuine speedo . I’ve also ordered a 2 cm sided suit so just under one inch depending on what it looks like I’m itching to wear it but it does take nerve . I’m based in uk.

There looks like will be an anniversary sales on Aliexpress. It is shown as counting down starting 10 hours from now. Would be great to pick up a few cheap stuffs, gym clothing, swimsuits, phone case, etc. Add to cart and pay later when the sales starts.

CHECK CLEARLY FOR SIZE, PICK A SIZE OR TWO LARGER, ASIAN/CHINESE SIZES CHART SMALLER THAN OTHERS!!!

Also advice: To use computer or bigger screen to shop on Aliexpress, so that you can easily read all the details and photos. Cellphone version too small and messy to see.

I remove the liner in all my suits. Just a personal preference.

And

How would you describe the brave person against the Speedo solar in comparison

Cheers

The suit will have a bit of a chemical, synthetic kind of scent at first but that should go away after a couple swims.

I find the solars more appropriate in family contexts. Brave Person looks and feels a bit more like undies. What you choose to wear depends on where you are though. Where I live, anything more than an inch above the knee for men is an uncommon sight.

Have you notice the similarities?

They are a similar fit but I find the brave person briefs more comfortable and a bit more showy.

Mate I totally agree,

I notice these swim brief as quality briefs, do you believe speedos and other briefs that cost more money are even worth it?

I stopped buying solars because I didn’t see much difference in longevity between those and other Lycra briefs. Polyester briefs will last a lot longer, but nothing beats Lycra in comfort value. I prefer polyester still because I spend a lot of time in the hot tub this time of year and nothing kills Lycra faster than heat and hot tub chemicals.

How do you wash your briefs after a swim?

You should always rinse swimwear in cool water to get the chlorine out or warmer water if exposed to sun cream and sweat. However your probably forget.

Hang them to dry but do NOT wring them out!
