In between brief and square-cut

I referred to definition meaning a good result of what you described as the changed routine in your off-topic post of 05-16-2012.

Totally understood your meaning!

Getting body definition is not easy, as I LOVE to eat trying...

I wish to refer James to the Brazilian swimsuit maker's
website - for the suits with the red dog logo.

Forgotten the name - do you guys know the one I am
talking about ?

Thanks NJH - that's the one - but my computer warns me off as it is a site having insecure content.
Some nice suits there but I'll just leave James to read this and decide.

Completely safe, I had already read through all of their swimsuit styles...

My waxing salon refers to that as a "boyzillian"- and if you haven't had it done it doesn't hurt that much as long as the waxer is experienced. I prefer it to shaving or topical hair removers.

OK - take your word for it.

(it does seem to score as pube-shaving is necessarily more frequent and causes constant itching to some as it regrows).

I bought a Brazilian made sunga. The sides are about 6" high, and the cut is similar to Speedo-brand's striped nylon square leg. It's Nylon/Lycra and it's very comfortable. There isn't a leg, so there's no inseam like the Speedo Endurance square leg, and there's an extra panel at the bottom rather than a single seam. The leg bindings are snug, and it's lined front and back. I think many Brazilian beachgoers wear it all around, rather than just swimming, and it is different from what you typically see in the United States.

I learn from the Dolfin website you give that Uglies produce something called Baggies. That's a new word for me and they certainly look like Sungas but are not considered by Dolfin to be a regular swimsuit as they are listed for training purposes (and Baggies would therefore seem to be what competitive swimmers usually call dragsuits).

A Sunga would indeed not be called a racing suit as it is often made up of double layered fabric and with a much looser fit . Here is a small but interesting blog on Brazilian vocabulary,
with a pic of three guys in their Sungas on the beach:

This teaches me a new word also (canga) and explains why one does not see the towels on Rio beaches as regularly to be found elsewhere. Tanga now also seems to apply only to the girls and, although long ago dropped by the boys, they were very much the beach bikini fashion for Brazilian males in the Sixties and Seventies (which brings us back full circle to the separate discussion on guys wearing girls' bikini bottoms).

Getting back to Sungas, Rufskin seem to be the only maker I can find so far and there is a UK supplier with a small range - and just to confuse matters even more they describe their Rufskins as sunga-cut TRUNKS !

Yes they do - not just a swimming item.
Glad you like it - thanks for update.
