I thought everyone would get a kick out of reading this product description on eBay. Just a taste: “It features excellent elasticity; so it will not tighten your body and make you discomfortable even painful.”

To the contrary, a really snug fit CAN be quite enjoyable...I don't think of it as painful, to be sure, unless you haven't arranged yourself properly! :)

I rather like Seobean, sadly it is always the 12 year old daughter of the marketing manager that does translations.
Ignore the text look at the pictures and buy the largest size they do since you aren't the marketing manager's 12 year old son.
If you like mistranslations try this from a swimming pool in France:

While swimming try not to break the rules:

How about a bit of local history:

They actually laid a steel oil pipeline from the Isle of Wight to a location near Cherbourg in the days after D Day to supply the advancing allies with fuel. They towed giant cotton reels of wound up steel pipe across the channel, unreeling and welding as they went.
I've found a couple of locations where the Pluto pipelines pass through Kent on the way to the IoW.

I bought several Seobean suits from Amazon last year because they looked good and were so cheap. However, I've had to throw them all away: even when you get to understand the nonsensical sizing, they didn't fit properly - front or back. Also I find having the drawstring outside at the front is just a bit too risqué for a public pool (though I have seen it).

How is an outside drawstring risque?
I find it more comfortable.

In England in the 1980's football (soccer) players started playing with their drawstrings outside their short, shiny nylon shorts. Many thought it rather common as it drew the eye to the front of their shorts.

Well, Drawstring ... having an outside drawstring at navel level on the waistband of your football shorts is one thing ... tying a knot at the level of your penis head, with the ends dangling down over your testicles, as it does on Seobean micro-briefs, is quite another. I am quite exhibitionist, but even I felt I was drawing just a bit too much attention to my 'goods' in a public pool.
