Difference between Briefs and Bikinis

Minimalist75 said:I believe competitive male swimmers are required to wear a swimsuit with at least a 10 cm or 2.5 inch side seam.

As a former U.S. college swimming official, here is what the NCAA rule book states: "Competitor's uniforms and swimsuits should be characterized by conformity to recognized standards of propriety." The book defines propriety as "conformity to established standards of good or proper behavior or manners. Decency, modesty"

There is no rule about the width of side seams, etc. - only rules about fabrics i.e., must be textile, not a 'rubber' material that aids in flotation. There are also rules about the size of logos and trademarks on the suit.

It would be difficult to make a specific rule about the size of side seams - many swimmers 'downsize' their suits, so that a guy who normally wears a 30" waist suit in practice might squeeze into a 26" suit for a meet so that his suit is tight and sleek and not loose which creates drag. But those 26" suits are obviously made smaller, so the side seams are often smaller.

Bikinis show a lot more and I think you have to be in good shape. I like briefs with a 2 to 3 inch waist, snug, soft, comfortable and fully lined or just a front lining. They fit as nicely as a bikini swimsuit. At times wearing microfiber swim briefs or polyester Speedos give me a nice hard on from from the sexy clinging feeling in them, especially after swimming and they are tight and wet. As said before, I don't hurry stripping them off in the shower, as it does takes extra time and effort stripping off the tight wet swim briefs, that really feel so nice, despite being tight and wet and tickling so much, as I'll slowly manage to peel them off while under the showers and soon baring it all with a now free bouncing erection.

As answered before, I like the Arena water polo swim briefs, as they fit and feel much better than bikinis. The bikini swimsuits are really nice too, but tight and tickling swim briefs do cover up male privates more than bikinis. It may take a little more doings and wiggling, getting those tight wet Arena water polo swim briefs down and off when showering or changing after swimming. but really tickle while still in them,especially when stripping them off. Arena swimsuit briefs maybe somewhat too conservative for other guys but great swimwear for me.
