PREFERENCE: hi-cut legs or low-cut waist?

So I unquestionably like the low cut look better.

Awesome choice! The Turbo and Sporti and Nike are excellent. When the one inch solar speedo came out a few years ago, got one and it was also very good.

Definitely low-cut waist. When they are high-cut thighs, I think they look like the poor guy's got a wedgie or yanked his suit on way too far up. Case-in-point: David Hasselhoff, formerly considered a massive stud looking TERRIBLE (in my opinion) in his speedos here:



And a few arguments in favor of low-rise waists:

Yes, the low cut in these photos are better looking.

I only ever wear low cut stye. Not like the Japanese that have no room for my package, but low like Desmiit or Neptune Sceptre. My pubes are trimmed and I wear ones that sit just atop my shaft, thereby exposing the bush. Must be trimmed therefore. I don't like butt crack showing though

I do prefer lower cut suits myself. But, I tend to agree that tight lycra blend briefs are not comfortable nor do they look very flattering -my opinion. I favor small briefs (but correctly sized) that have 2" sides -speedo endurance (European) or Caussie (Australian). I recently purchased a 2" nylon-lycra blend low cut suit and reconfirmed this is not for me. Classic Aussiebums are comfortable but I find them to be a bit too baggy in the front -quite the opposite of the lycra blends.

Regarding lycra, I grew up in the 70s and I believe it contributed to the eventual downfall of mens swim briefs. I personally think the blends look great on women (it probably contributed to the explosion in bikinis); but, not so much for men as the material does conform to every detail and is particularly pronounced with lighter colored suits. I personally don't find this offensive -guys are guys....but I am definitely more self conscious in a lycra suit. I prefer 100% nylon because it feels great -very comfortable.

Definitely low cut. It doesn't have to be as low as the Japanese style suits (although I do think those are hot...but you gotta have the body for it, which I don't).

I just go with the traditional speedo-type swim briefs.

Here's some pix taken last month.

I only ever wear low on hips designs. When guys pull their swimwear high, or the cut is really high, in my opinion they don't look nice at all. I like mine to go straight across my hips from just above the shaft, with the waistband either sitting on the pubic hair or at the top of my shaft. Not rude though. I like my V line showing as much as possible. I don't have a six pack, or a huge cock, but I do have a good V line. I lay my cock to the side, generally to the right; as it isnt as comfy to the left. I don't however like the Japanese suits, as they show too much of my butt crack. I like the waistband to sit just at the top of my butt crack, so that it only shows crack when I lean over or sit on the sand.

Tom Daley wears his nice and low! He seems to have large balls and still is able to wear them so low. Very nice indeed.
