Best White Swimsuit
 

Hi there,

I'm a brown kid and I wanna get a nice white suit - thinking the AB Swish range. The Wonderjock while yh would help me 'pack more' looks transparent. Is the Swish transparent? Im looking for white - a little show is ok - but not an outright see thru cuz thats a little much for swim class. Sorry if this was posted before but i searched and didn't see anything. (newbie)

Thanks!

J,

Swish Pic:

I would be very cautious about the suit you picked. Most of the AB white material gets sheer when wet. I suspect after any time in the pool, when you get out you will be very much on display. Maybe consider a white background print from one of the makers of water polo suits. Turbo and Hard Core both have some nice mostly white prints and those do not show through when wet.

get a turbo suit.

The swish suit he is looking at is a heavier lycra blend and not like the nylon ones that virtually disappear when wet.

Yes PSDave - it is the heavier Lycra so i was wondering if anyone had that one. I wear AB underwear all the time. And want my swims to match! But won't go with the sheer ones. I was also thinking the King of Hearts from Turbo but do love AB!

Great AB site!http://aussiebumworld.tumblr.com/archive

I swim 3500 - 4000 yards every day and wear several white background Turbos as part of my swimsuit collection. I have never had a see thru issue, not even remotely. Hard Core Swim has some cool white base suits, also. They put a grey inner liner in the critical front parts so while the sides can get a bit sheer all your best attributes are adequately covered. I am sure PSDave is right, but I am not convinced AB suits are really built for the rigors of lap swimming (yes, I own several pair, but more for fun than swimming).

Two thoughts:
First, according to Aussiebum the sheer rating is 1/10 so it is very low, or not at all.
Second: Aussiebum has a 90 day return policy if not satisfied. So if you get it - its not as opaque as you would like it, send it back.
I have had one Aussiebum white lycra blend and it wasn't transparent at all but I gave it away.

Thanks PSdave thats what i was hoping for. I'll prob get a dark and light color and can always return. I live in the Caribbean so returns aren't always easy!

Truwest.com makes a great white suit. It is on the water polo section and then the Euro-cut all-poly section. You might want to buy a size larger than your usual lycra because the stretch isn't that great and frankly your junk could get a little crowded.

Thanks Buster! Forgot about TruWest! You mean like these: http://store.truwest.com/Water-Polo-...CHL_p_116.html

That's it. I was working from memory and couldn't remember things like chloroban for instance.

The shipping is not cheap so you might as well get several. I also have coral, orange and purple. These suits last a long time. Much longer than lycra.

Thanks for the help! I;ll try a Tru West and an AB. We had one season of white Solars but found the sides kinda narrow.

Try Desmiit on Amazon --I got a great white lined fairly skimpy suit --shipping took 10-14 days, but the suit was like $8 including shipping.

I ordered the jammers and they are nice! Green and grey ish. I thought they looked abit too skimp for white but ill try another colour in the briefs!

I have a couple of very brief white suits but my wife won't be seen with me wearing either despite her wearing the tiniest white bikinis!!!

Wear them under your usual suit, then take them off when she's not looking.

I did this on a quiet beach south of Cancun several years ago. The resort was owned by a Spanish company, and so they had a fairly significant European clientele, so speedos on guys, even older out-of-shape ones (gee, like me) were not at all unusual. Most of them only wore them while lying on the beach, and when they got up to go in, they put shorts on over them. There were a few younger and in shape guys with them as well, but not a lot. They were generally with the topless girls, which was also quite common there.

I decided I'd do the same. While lying in a beach chair under the palapa, I quietly slid off my shorts and had on just a basic black speedo. I was like that probably two hours, and she never noticed till I got up to go and was putting shorts back on to walk to our room. She wasn't happy - I was cracking up laughing, as were the other couple that was with it who also thought it was hilarious. WTH - it's not like anyone else at that resort knew who I was or would ever see me again.

If your wife is rocking a tiny bikini, my guess is you will look good in yours as well. Just go for it.
