Let's talk about "see thru"/"transparent" speedos!

Please feel free to post pics! :)

The professionals in the men's swim brief business have a rating system in place for the amount of transparency shown through different types of fabric material.

They call it 'sheer rating'.

WHAT IS SHEER RATING?

" It means how see-through the garment becomes when wet. 1 on the scale is the least see-through, 10 is the most see-through. As an example, Black is not very transparent and has a lower sheer rating, whereas White becomes highly transparent when wet, therefore has a sheer rating of 10 on our scale. "

Choose your audience with care and always test anything white, yellow or ice blue in the shower at home first just to see how transparent it actually is. A tight, thin, unlined, transparent suit will hold everything in place while showing every detail as soon as it gets wet.
You could always give such a swim brief to your handsome best friend just as the 2 of you are changing on a quiet section of beach.

what do you suggest the sheer rating on this beautiful man is? :)

That must be a 10.
Nylon Ice Blue was mentioned on the Lycra chat forum and I guessed a 9 for it - but how do I know what colors are high or low if the AB table doesn't appear?

Btw, surprised to see what must be a 10 for a Turbo in a pic. today.

I have a few more pics to post that show great transparency but the pic is a bit big in size (kilobites)...any suggestion how to condense it down?

As I was writing the last post, the mailman delivered my package from AussieBum. I received 2 pieces of swimwear/bikinis :)

They have the "wonderjock" pouch inside. Does my "package sit inside (closer to me) the pouch, or do I let it side outside the pouch (away from me). Kind of confusing.

So happy I got them!!

first pic of what i bought.

medium size is a bit loose on me, they are afterall called "loose"

Maybe i should exchange them for the small size.

hmmm

Byron

If that's you getting wet, will they exchange them ?

Re. post#7 do you have the wonderjock or boosterjock?
Your image link includes bjk which suggests booster.
Whatever it is other guys have had problems of how to
wear and undesirably filling up with sand.
See questions and answers here and check which might
apply to assist in your dilemma:

Re. post#6 do you have the facility on Windows to "create in new tab"? (via right click).
If so you may be able to reproduce it and see a more convenient size for posting

(btw condense down is tautology - after all you can hardly condense up)

Well, here's one I haven't seen before and must be the only suit which has a sheer rating of 1 and 10 together:

I have a pair of unlined, white AC's that I experimented with a while back. I posted a brief story in the Off Topic posts.
I absolutely love them. Comfortable and, in private or with friends, allow you to show off more than just the bulge!!;)

What's the sheer rating on yellow? No logo to see on this suit but with pointless tabs at the hips adorned with pointless white buttons - and apparently without lining.

I did read about the sand problem. I'm not particularly concerned about the sand issue. I bought the wonderjock.

The only thing that I might have a concern with is other people at the beach/swim pool reporting me and then being asked to change into another suit.

That would really suck!!

Byron

LOL - American slang produces some amusing double entendres sometimes but Tw (#3) does say be careful.
It would be interesting to hear whether any readers have actually encountered that demand from some official at pool or beach.

Asian men look soo beautiful in swimwear!

10-03-2013, 04:10 AM
can't see anything in this yellow speedo :(

definetely pointless!!

Byron
10-03-2013, 03:54 PM
Yes, I will have to give it a 2 for transparency and a -0 for innovative design
(as for Asian guys don't forget the Waterboys as posted by Torchwatch)

Byron

As compensation, more evidence on 10 for white:

if you don't have self confidence in your looks, body, how you look in a speedo or a desperate need to be looked at -- by all means walk around with a transparent suit on. You may not get the approval you desire, but you will be noticed. But always remember, because people are looking doesn't mean they are looks of approval. (or sympathy for you being so desperate for attention you walk around virtually naked)

Re. post#3, did he do the shower test? (must be a 10 rating I guess):

The picture in #4 is not a speedo nor a aussibum. It is in fact a Jockey Elance Bikini Brief. Please note the Black Tag which is associated with Jockey Elance.

Byron

Yes, it's pretty obvious that the guy is floating in his pool on an inflatable and in his white underwear - and a wet profile is being sought for a good pic. Afewgoodmen simply posted a photo - he claimed nothing about the name to be applied to what was being worn - although I am sure he will note your advice.

Byron

Strange - Jockey do not recognize that name* - but they do have a retro swimbrief (for which I would guess a transparency rating of 1):



*caveat emptor - alibaba nevertheless has them on its website but annotated "unverified supplier"

Byron - Just checking - Elance is brief underwear - not swimwear

Byron

Yes, the thread was started off by afewgoodmen about SPEEDO transparency but then he posted a pic of UNDERWEAR, not swimwear. This was obviously not following the correct theme but if he wanted to illustrate some wet transparency on a similar garment , so be it.

All was left alone until an identification as to a black tab and the Jockey Elance underwear arrived from Brendan -
but I found that Elance is not on Jockey's underwear site anyway.

In order to come back to topic and whilst looking at the website I rated Jockey SWIMWEAR ( what little there is of it - ie retro speedos ) for transparency.
