Very strange suit - anyone know why attachments come at the front?

This is a great style of suit, I have many of this one sided style from a few different makers.
You can get the JOK brand in left and right hip verisions. They are a lovely light weight material that you barely know you have on. They are best as tanning suits as this make does move around a bit with excessive movement. Not good for anything but taking a cool down paddle in though, they will come off with even light swimming.
The other suits I have are a thicker swimsuit material and stay in place perfectly, I wear them as underwear a lot and at the gym under shorts, no problems at all, swimming and tanning in them is great. Very unique tan line which is fun to show off in the pool locker room!
As PSDave says, you do have to do a good deal of man-scapeing though, otherwise they do slip.

Cheers Paul

more belt loops....
 

A couple more with meaningless white buttons on a sexy anonymous yellow suit this time:

(Not Fit For Swimming)

that loincloth has to be one of the oldest forms of "bikini" type garments tho... I love tie strings on suits. Front drawstrings are one of the few things on bikini swimsuits that are pretty much only on mens swimwear...

my friends at the Facebook group Did You Swim Today are having a lot of fun with that one sided thong thing. The version shown there actually looks kind of good on the smooth young model but just definitely not so on two other examples given.
So my wife says "get one" but which? I found the JOK brand at Amazon but reviews sound pretty poor. The one seen on FB has a tag that may say "ASIX" but google turns up nothing. What are the other brands and where do we get one?

I'm a great lover of this style of suit, I have MANY and just love the tan line and unique style, I wear them pretty much 24/7

The "JOK" design is OK, but the suit is thin and flimsy and not very well fitted, it slips around at the slightest movement, no good for swimming, trust me!!!. The "JOK" is my suit of choice if oiling up and just laying out still to catching a few rays, if the oil ruins it its cheap enough to just throw away.

If your looking for a swimsuit version in this style look for one with a slightly more pouched front, it holds you better and wont move as you dive or swim.

"jovanadesign.co.uk" do a nice one, its the JP4D, as does "thongbiker.com" & "koalaswim.com"
