Briefs vs square cuts - slippage factor

[sebbie]

Thong swimwear normally have a triangular piece of cloth in the rear that fully covers the top of the butt-crack, but then the rest of the strap or cord often hides between the glutes, so the butt crack farther down does not show.

But many of the Asian style swim briefs are made with a low-slung cut that leaves the very top of the butt crack exposed, but then hide what would normally be exposed with a thong farther down.

In the US, the acceptability of either style for wear at the pool or beach really relates to whether or not one or the other of these is ok. As in briefs are considered acceptable but thongs are not. For awhile in the US, the Thongs almost achieved a general degree acceptability, but now seemingly not.

Meanwhile, the Asians seem to love the swim briefs that expose the top of the butt crack I am wondering if this is starting in the US as well. My Sporti Euros expose a little butt crack esp if undersized just a touch.
