Maybe she just doesn’t want to see your thighs. I agree that board shorts and speedos aren’t that different in terms of covering contours, but they do go lower and cover thighs. That extra length can offer a lot more comfort in knowing for sure nothing will peek out. Plus other won’t have to be blinded by your possibly very untanned thighs.

My bf wears something like these when he swims.

They’re like the same material as speedos, but they do a better job keeping his dick in place and are more supportive in his opinion. They also stay snug to your skin a way that doesn’t need adjustment kind of like yoga pants. So they’re super comfy and work well in heat. I actually ended up getting a similar style for women’s

I just got a friend into swimming; he had almost the exact same question.

I would go with a Speedo Endurance+ Jammer

and Air Seal XR goggles.

The Jammer will last much longer than comparable suits (the fabric resists chlorine better), and non-swimmers I know almost universally find the Air Seals more comfortable/better fitting than others. I'd even agree with them, they're great practice goggles. Lots of surface area on the seals means better chance to have a good fit, and less raccoon marks all around.

Good luck with the mile!

Getting something square cut like a drag suit. It provides more modesty than jammers without needlessly covering your legs.

If you are doing serious pool competitions, you can get a slicker-than-skin jammer to wear in races.

More explanation.

Generally, most swimmers train in speedo cut suits. They feel more comfortable (this is subjective, of course), and tend to last a bit longer because they're fully lined.

Jammers came about as suit technology improved. As materials had lower drag coefficients than the skin, it made sense to use that material to cover more skin to slide through the water. More recent advances mean compression gear also aids muscle recovery and can improve race efficiency.

More novice swimmers tend to be attracted to jammers for two reasons. They see world class athletes wearing longer suits (these athletes frequently train in briefs, but race in tech suits) and the jammers provide a bit more modesty, which I get -- it's a weird outfit to wear, the speedo.

There are 3 basic types of mens suits:

• Classic Briefs
  
  
  
• Square Leg/short
  
  
  
• Jammers

Brit Swimmer here!

I got these as my first pair:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000MX0Z6O/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details

They fit my 36 inch waist perfectly so I guess the same would be true of a 28 or 30. Tighter is better unless it cuts off circulation. You don't want them to slip at all (for both modesty and drag).

Mind if I ask how old you are? Boys (no disrespect) jammers are here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Speedo-Boys-Endurance-Jammer-Black/dp/B001DMIQNW/ref=pd_sim_sg_2

They are likely identical but you don't pay VAT on "kids" clothing hence the cheaper prices for the same size.

You will not be sorry, I was hesitant to make the jump from board shorts to something tighter but I feels so much better, faster etc.

These pair for example are your size at 3XL - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Slazenger-Swimming-Jammers-Trunks-Shorts/dp/B013QJR7JS

If you're talking about Trunks, wear underwear or a Speedo underneath them. Some guys even wear jock straps under their's.

However, what I've found is actually more comfortable is to wear Jammers underneath them. The great thing about the Jammers is that you can then use them if you want to swim for exercise.

I've never heard of these jammers. Are jammers ok to run in? These look awesome for guy compared to the usual boring solid dark colors?

Arena Carbon Pro Mark 2 Jammer Powerskin Dark Grey Size 34 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FC1PQOW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Z2f.AbP1JXM9P

Something like this should let you feel comfortable and not look out of place at the same time.

I'll always recommend 0-1650 in the sidebar, and a jammer is worth the $25-35 you will spend for a polyester one that will last you a very long time. Trunks will likely be discouraging and hinder form.

If you have a local swim shop, I'd wager their jammers are cheaper than Dick's by a wide margin.

Wouldn't suggest cutting jammers, better off just ordering these .Pretty sure cutting them would have them falling apart pretty quickly. I've never cut a pair, but if a hole gets poked through the material it just gets worse and worse almost every time I swam. square legs make your quads look joocy too

The speedo jammers do tend to be a bit thin - I feel they are more sleek even for a non-tech suit. Not sure why yours are becoming loose? Are you wringing them out during the wash? I recommend just gently squeezing out the water then rolling them into a dry towel to get more water off before laying flat to dry. A bit anal yes, but it keeps my swimwear in good shape.

If you want something thicker and more stretchy, look at TYR. I have had good experience with this particular model:

https://www.amazon.com/TYR-Solid-Durafast-Jammer-Black/dp/B001M9KYL8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519832601&sr=8-4&keywords=Tyr+jammer

My most recent pair lasted about a year of training 6 days a week. Just replaced it with the same model.

I have been a competitive swimmer for roughly 9 years and the highest recommendation I can give is a Speedo Endurance Plus jammer. They last about a year swimming 1-3 times a day 6 days a week. They usually only go out because the drawstring breaks or the suit comes apart at the seams. They have similar waist sizes to jeans and regular trousers.

trying is a lot of compromising. Small size and low weight versus high capacity/bigger size/heavier gun.

In the end it's what you're comfortable with, and what you have confidence using. Most importantly it is about what you will actually carry. I know two people who carry, concealed, Beretta 92fs;s? 92FSss, M9s. I could not do it but for them the hundred holsters they tried and their solution is ideal.

AS for dropping 3,000 gun for a 300 gun when you leave you have to remember that people spend a lot of money for marginal improvements when it comes to sporting events. My kid swims and there are 30 dollar jammers and 400 dollar jammers.

If you're swimming to not drown, the difference between the swimsuits isn't really a thing. When you're racing, trying to set a record, competing, the extra dough is worth it because while the speed boost is of no real world value in competition the millisecond or two it might shave off is everything.

If you're good with buying me something from a third party website (I could give you my info), I'd love these so I could get into swimming and get healtheier and stuff. If not this is pretty cool too!

plain swim jammers

Purple Fabric Paint. White Fabric paint.

Alternatively just buy it.

What about a bathing suit jammer, like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kanu-Surf-Competition-Jammers-Black/dp/B00DGOKCZK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1468512464&sr=8-4&keywords=jammer

They dry out quickly and can be worn as underwear, I've done that before on hikes that I knew were going to be wet or would involve swimming.

Thanks for writing so fast! I'm still not sure if I should get square legs or jammers... I found some endurance+ on amazon:

here are the square legs:

https://www.amazon.com/Speedo-Endurance-Polyester-Square-Swimsuit/dp/B000YZEJ2G/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=speedo%2Bsquare%2Bleg&qid=1551067719&s=gateway&sr=8-2&th=1&psc=1

here are the jammers:

https://www.amazon.com/Speedo-Endurance-Polyester-Jammer-Swimsuit/dp/B000YZPLZ0/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=speedo%2Bjammers&qid=1551068156&s=gateway&sr=8-5&th=1&psc=1

How do those look? I am a very skinny person, and so I am wondering if I might want the Jammers for extra warmth.

With the endurance+, are they still fast? I don't need super sonic fast, but I don't want to be bogged down either. Do you have endurance+?

Damnit! I was going to row in my jammers, I thought it would be comfy.

For practice I suggest to just get a drag suit example.

Had mine for 6+ years and still kicking strong.
