i dont consider these all that revealing. so you shouldn't think twice about wearing them. I say go for it. Besides so much better when you get out of the water and dont have a big bulky swimsuit on.

There does seem to be quite a bit of leeway in what you can wear. For example:

http://www.hambletonleisure.co.uk/in...rules-guidance

◾Swimmers must wear appropriate swim wear e.g. no cut off jeans or thongs.

So no bare bottoms, plus no exposed genitalia and I would guess for women - no bare breasts.

What could a pool attendant say to you anyway? 'Sir, I must request you to leave the pool on account of your brief swimwear'. You could then reply, 'Will you be throwing out that girl in the bikini, then? Or do you seriously think my bare legs are more erotic than hers?'

Bede,

I like your sense of humor. How about this? Or the pool attendant could say, "Sir, I must ask you to leave because the bulge in your swim brief is turning me on and distracting me from my life guarding duties."...lol

Well, they arrived today and it was a struggle trying to simultaneously cover the butt and the front part. To put it in perspective, Speedo Endurance briefs are 25 cm high with a 4.8 cm inseam. These are 18 cm high with a 2.5 cm inseam. A lot skimpier that I had imagined, so I definitely wouldn't wear them at my local pool.

Actually, I'm not sure if I want to wear them at all. They're a large size, 35-37 inch waist, so with me being a 36 inch waist, they should fit right - but they're so tight I felt like the circulation to my balls was being cut off! Just not the kind of gear you'd want to spend much time wearing.

Think I'll stick to the Hom briefs - nice and brief but very comfortable.

It's too bad that they are such a poor fit. Can you return them? Although at the price you paid, maybe keeping them for when you want to go crazy in private might not be such a bad idea...lol

Possibly, though if I got a larger size they'd probably slip off. Probably not worth it.
