Swimsuit Seams

Solars have a comfy front seam and I actually am one who dislikes the front seam...

I also have suits with the crotch dart which again gives more room at the front though I have one suit which has nothing but a plain front like a womans bikini and this makes for uncomfortable use.

Hi Schoolspeedo,
It seems you have a variety of suits that I might be interested in seeing. You mind posting some pics of them. I think many might hold this curiosity on the board.

I've got 2 Nike Scatterbrain suits that don't have seams, possibly because they are fully lined, front and back.

I have a few pairs with the front seam. They're good for accentuating your bulge. If you're like me, and like to fool around in your gear, it can cause friction burn. Now, if we could use that 3d printer to get the same fit without the seam...

I have had both front and rear seam briegs of the two I dislike the front seam more than the rear seam and actually will never purchase either again. They sure look good on some of the models and the divers with a big butt but are very uncomfortable for me.

If you want a swim brief with plenty of front space but without a front seam pouch then do what Arena did in the 1980's. Make the seat seam between the front and back of the suit wider but make the front of the suit wider than the back. Whenever you sew Lycra you have to stretch it, but stretch the back of the suit more than the front and when your garment is finished you will have plenty of space in the front. This is why old Arena swim briefs have a tell tale ripple either side of the family jewels.

With the kind of treatment described, any Lycra type suit will break down. The only thing a seam in the back will do is have two saggy butt cheeks instead of one saggy diaper
