Bikini Bottoms
 

Hi guys, I'm new here. I stumbled across this forum and liked what I saw.

Last year was the first time I have ever worn smaller swim wear. I already wear skimpy underwear (thongs, strings, cheekies, etc) and GF loves it. Last summer we were bikini shopping for my GF and she saw a bikini bottom that she said would look good on me. I said I'm not wearing a girls bikini bottom to the pool. She countered with the fact that it doesn't look like a girls bikini bottom, and it is sexy as hell. Its not tie side, or string side or anything. Infact the only way you would know is if you knew the small logo stitched on the hip.

It was a Roxy bikini bottom, and wore it to the local pool. The first time I swam in it, I was hooked. I love the feeling of freedom in the water and how fast I dry when I get out. I surely don't miss the feeling of a wet mop hanging from my waist. My GF loves it, she thinks it is sexy and I havent heard any negative comments at the pools, even over the winter when were at a hotel pool.

I know have a bunch of different bottoms in different colors patterns and styles. I do have 2 bottoms that have "roxy" written all over them, and I wear those too. My GF likes them alot, and as long as she likes to see me in them, I will wear them. I have worn them at the hotel pool a few times and no one has said a thing.

Now the question, am I the only one who wear girls bikini bottoms? anyone else ever tried it? I dont like the look and style of the guys ones and the ones I do like are really expensive whereas a girls bikini bottom can be had for under $20 all day, sometimes even less on ebay. I dont like the guys styles, they are either to much like tighty whitey underwear or they fit like a garbage bag over the crotch. I have found the womens styles are available in much better cuts, fits and colors.

I am rather well endowed and had bit of trial and error finding the brands that fit well. The two that I found fit the best for holding junk in is Victorias Secret (though they seem to run big, I wear a small from them) and Roxy (I wear a medium).


Of course I have pics. What are your thoughts? anyone else try it or do it? I know this is a Speedo board but you guys seem to be pretty open minded so I figured I might be accepted here with this idea....


Here is my first Roxy bikini last year...





This is a Victorias Secret one I got last fall for $2.99 from the VS website under Clearance





Am I the only one? thoughts and or comments?

Here is the new one I just got...

Hi notmyj, and welcome to the forum!

The forum's title says "briefs, bikinis, and more" so you've come to the right place, even if many of us (speaking strictly for myself, because I don't really know) have no experience wearing women's bikini bottoms. You're going to find an active community here with a few of us who post frequently, and of course the nasty lurkers who are willing to suck up the board's energy, but never participate.

Looking at the pictures, the only suit that kind of says "girls" to me is the rear of the middle one with the circles. Not sure why, but that just looks like it belongs on a girl's butt. It also looks too crowded in front (IMHO).

The first one, although really tiny doesn't read that way at all and looks hot, hot, hot. The blue band sets and defines where your goodies go. Since the suit was designed without accommodation for a guy, it's amazing how well it fits! I had a similarly shaped suit once, but it was Speedo brand, designed for men, and didn't fit half as good as yours.

So, I've got a couple questions. First, what are "cheekies"? And how did you get full size pictures to appear in your message? I've been sticking a bunch of pictures up recently, have had to jump through major hoops to get them down to the 78kb file size limit, and they appear as little thumbnails at the bottom inserted of in the message itself.

Since Byron is URL challenged, Louis by language, and apparently me by lack of knowledge of the forum's software, perhaps we need a instruction manual.

Yeah, the one with the circles is bordeline, I will admit. Its actually not as crowded as it looks. I was partially aroused when the pic were taken because my GF was was being really....supportive ;)

As for the first one, it is easily my favorite style from Roxy I have a couple of them with different patterns/colors. It fits well and the wide band helps hole everything in place. I love how little the back is, makes for great tan lines and I feel sexy wearing it. I also was amazed how well it fits considering it was designed for a girl, I honestly thought I would be hanging out of the sides but it works very well.

As for the cheekies.... They are girls underwear... I like the vast array of designs, colors, cuts, and materials. Luckily, my GF was ok with me wearing what I do. I should clarify that I dont dress up like a girl, I dont wear girls clothes, bras or dresses or anything like that. Its not a sexual fetish, I just decided to break out of the norm of plain underwear or over priced "designer" underwear and wear what I liked. Again, it took alot of trial and error but I found what fits. I have pics, but not sure if it would be appropriate as this is a swim wear board. lol.

I upload my pics to photobucket.com. Its a free hosting site that you can keep your pics at. You can create different albums and organize your pics. The reason you can get away with big pics is that since they are hosted at different site, the size restriction at this site is not relevant. The pics are uploaded and stored at photobucket then simply linked to this forum. Although the forum rules here only allow a max of 4 images per post.

That happens to me a lot when I aim my camera at my Speedo'ed crotch. Down boy! Down!

Roxy etc.
 

Yes, surprisingly good fit - would one ever know from a pic?

The front package is much as we might see on the Japanese
speedo guys after all - but it is not the butt of the suit with
rings where I would take a second look but the butt with the
diagonal stripes.

It sure would be fun to know whether any AB lovers would
ever discard theirs after this !



PS:Cutting down on over-ambitious URLs but
sucessfully got a patch of grass onto off-topic.

The one with the rings and the one with the stripes are the same bikini, just different design. I guess the angle of the camera and the way it is on me makes it seem different. I could probably get better comparison pics if that would help clear it up, but they are the same.

I also would be curious if anyone else tries bikini bottoms. I have never noticed any other guys wear them, but then again, I never see other guys in brief swim wear either...

While scuba diving in Mexico, I noticed the dive guide was wearing a suit that certainly seemed like a bikini bottom, briefer than your suits. It had to be super-brief to stand out, because most scuba divers wear Speedos under the wetsuit, and then sun & air dry in just the Speedo afterwards.

I am hoping for our honeymoon in the Domican Republic (maybe next summer/fall) I will spend the entire week in my swimsuits. As it is right now, I haven't worn them out too much as this just started towards the end of last summer. I have to admit, I am still a little shy walking into the pool wearing just bikini bottoms. Last summer I was wearing my board shorts over the bikini and only removing them to lay out on the towels. When I was swimming, i would put my board shorts back on. This was how I was untill the very end, then I finally said, "screw it, I'm doing what I want". Thats when I shed my board shorts, and walked into the pool from the towels with my GF. It was at that moment that I decided I was a brief swimwear guy.

The feeling of not having all the clothing on me was amazing. So free and able to move better. I did feel sexy in it too, when I was walking back to our towels in the grass dripping with water.

This year I am planning on leaving the board shorts at home so I have no choice but swim in my skimpy swim wear. You guys have any words of encouragement for a guy who is making a change to brief swim wear completely? I mean, I have worn them out to the pools (the first pic was taken by my GF at the local pool last summer), but I still have reservations about it.... I guess it just takes time to become completely comfortable in them...

LOL - if you went through all the archives you would see such a lot of anxt about "speedo friendly beaches" let alone "bikini bottom friendly beaches".

Simply choose the appropriate place not to cause public uproar or arrest and go for it
(but that feeling of freedom you seem to have experienced already is what you have come to enjoy so I guess you don't need much persuading).

Mrs Grundy will no doubt be caused some confusion so we will keep her guessing.

Btw do the girls have the same choice of weight, type and stretch of fabric as in guys trying to select the best speedo for themselves?

With all the designs, fabrics, cuts, manufactures, I would argue the women have more choices than guys.

Not worried about any laws... As long as everything covered and in place I am good. As you can see, none of my bikinis are too revealing as thong would be. The way I figure is if it coveres the same amount on a girl, then it should be ok for me too have the same coverage so long as my giblets stay in the front. Equal rights, right?

Almost all Speedo/brief swimsuit fans go through that process, starting with wearing them under shorts, dropping the shorts and realizing its OK, then enjoying the freedom of wearing what you like.

Another common thread is when one guy shows up in brief swimwear at a pool, causing 2 or 3 others who've been hanging around in shorts to suddenly work up the courage to join in, and it's now a Speedo fiesta.

Sometimes shy guys log in here and ask where "Speedo Friendly" beaches or pools can be found. The answer is that all it takes is one guy to break the ice.

I predict your problem will be when GF decides to flirt with you while you're hanging around the pool in your bikini bottom, just to see if she can get a rise out of you. And you'll find a need to roll over and sun your back, or else have to grab a towel quickly.

Agree...
 

....but can't resist pointing out (another pun) that I am a wimp who does not like going to freezing pools where breaking ice is necessary !

Fabric is fabric, it has no sex, it can be made in any colour and printed in any pattern desired but it still has no sex.

Any smooth front bikini made from a stretch fabric (lycra, spandex etc) will accommodate either a male or female figure of the right body size range, although you may need a size larger to fit a man. A man's smooth front bikini may be designed with a wider crotch seam than a woman's as it has to stretch further to stop bits popping out but there are no other real differences.
Only when the front of the suit is made into a pouch by sewing the 2 sides along a curve are the suits definitely for a man.

Wear the suits that make you feel happy and confident, if they happen to be women's suits then enjoy them. Keep your eyes open for nice men's suits too when you are next thinking of buying new, you might find something you like.

Never thought I would see such a receptive comment on my choice of swimwear. Thank you. Your comment has instantly given me more confidence to wear my bikini without hesitation.

This sure is an open minded group of people here. lol. Who knows, maybe I will start a new trend of guys wearing girls bottoms as a way of shattering the mold. lol.

I will definately keep my eye open for something designed more for men that is cut the way I like in a color/pattern that catches my eye. Till then, its bikini bottoms for me.

"Keep my eye open"
 

Good - ( don't forget to share with a post
if something interesting comes along )

No worries... I plan on keeping this forum updated when ever I go out in just my bikini. As of right now, my GF and I are planning on laying out next saturday... Me in just my bikini bottoms, her in just her bikini bottoms... Should be a great day in our back yard since the pools arent open yet.

If they fit -- who cares. I have seen racks of bikini bottoms in places like Target and think how great they look and have stopped to check them out. Every time I can see that they just don't have the fabric for my package. My girlfriend had one that was a knit (like t-shirt) that had the stretch, but all others female suits I have had on just don't hold my junk in. You are lucky they fit and no one will probably know. (hopefully there won't be a female with the same bikini at the beach or pool)

for the boys......
 

Exactly - when I said "weight, type and stretch" in the earlier question I should have added "strength".

For obvious anatomical reasons even a lightweight cotton fabric might suffice for
the girls whereas for the guys a little more heavyweight specification is likely to be necessary.

The current trend towards heavily pouched square cut suits seems to be coming from guys used to wearing big underwear and board shorts changing to boxer briefs and square cut swimming trunks, the oversized pouch seems to be an attempt to retain the last vestige of bagginess in a skin tight suit and to demonstrate their masculinity as no woman would wear an oversized pouch (or would they).
You seem secure in your sexuality, you have a girl friend who you intend to marry and you share days in the sunshine and water together enjoying the sight and feel of each others bodies and bikinis. Your underwear drawer contains the skimpy but masculine briefs and thongs that you enjoy.
You like to wear and swim in the women's bikini briefs that you and your girl friend choose together because they look and feel good on you and make you feel so free when swimming. You are still a male and don't pretend to be anything else. If you were a cross dresser that would be between yourself and those you choose to share it with.
Anyone that objects is either jealous that you have the body and bottle to wear those suits or just a bully that enjoys hurting people while claiming to be acting in the public interest.
Enjoy the summer.

PS. Years ago while walking through the local mall I spied an old woman looking into a women's lingerie shop window. I followed her eyes to a mass of lace and frills that accentuated yet barely covered the shop dummy they were applied to. The look in the old woman's eye was a mixture of lust and loss, and I realised how much she would have loved to have worn that confection at the time she was young enough to make jaws drop. Wear the suits you love now, soon you will be married, perhaps a father too and have to move on. In 40 years time when you pass that swimming shop you eyes should fill with happy memories not with lust for what you missed out on.

Bikini bot......
 

Very true indeed Torchwatch, one MUST enjoy every moment while they are young, youth is not foreever, anyway it may be better that nostalgia doesnt devellope once aged, knowing that you will never be young again .
Especially if you are young mentally you will surely long for those good old says wene you could wear skimpy clothing.

There is too much thinking going on. So much concern about "speedo friendly" and "what will my family think" makes me wonder how some guys get dressed in the morning. Do you place that much concern on everything you wear. I mean if it is a group decision and opinion pole whether to wear jeans of chinos everyone must be late for work. It is just a swim suit! If it fits, you like it - wear it! If someone makes a negative comment -- I am thinking this only will happen with family and close "friends" -- just laugh it off or tell them, "I wear what I like, you wear what you like" and leave it at that. OR if you want to get snarky about it you can come back with "I think your suit looks like shit and don't like it either but I have the manners to keep my comments to myself" or to a guy "I understand why you won't wear one -- nothing to fill it". Trust me, after a couple minutes people forget what you are wearing and life goes on.

Thanks
 

PSD: You hit a home run with your latest comments-there's really nothing more to say.!

opinion pole (poll)
 

:) Good post and yes, we should be reminded of what's wheat and what's chaff in lifestyle.
Don't forget however that this is a forum and forums need to have discussions and enlightening discussion will sometimes ensue from a bit of
navel-gazing.

It has been suggested for example (agree or not ) that the loss of STS's
stories is regrettable because they were useful in getting a readership to
be persuaded into the acceptability and desirability of wearing brief speedos
without stigma. One new member is doing his bit already with bikini bottoms so who knows what might change ?

I've been a Speedo guy since I got my first for youth swim team, and I certainly don't need a "Speedo Friendly Beach" to wear one. However, I'm not so sure about my confidence level carrying a bikini bottom into the changing room at Target. (I Chose Target because their dressing room staff is only concerned with number of items. It would be worse in the ladies section of Macys, and way too strange to even contemplate in a women's boutique).

Wearing a bikini bottom is an intriguing thought, and have always wondered about whether guys could get away with it. Notmyj has opened a lot of eyes with his very first post on this forum

Bik bot....
 

Really I cant see the difference between a regular speedo and a wonens bikini bottom wene worn by a man, why not post pics of men or yourself in a womens bikini bottom and see what guys will say comments would be of course very wellcome

obvious
 

Well, having just seen a post from notmyj with SIX big pics attached
isn't that precisely what's already been done to show you what is the
fit which has his GF's approval ?

Wow, I am amazed that this thread has gotten so much attention and sparked such an interesting conversation. I would love to see some guys here try bikini bottoms, too. I have never tried them on in stores, always purchased them then tried them on. Once you try a few on and see what fits, you will be able to tell if they will fit just by looking at them. The width of the crotch is most important, ones from Aerie are way to narrow, but the Victoria's Secret and Roxy ones fit great.

Infact, while perusing ebay I found the same ones I have, for sale. I am not selling it, not affiliated in any way, just thought I would share it if anyone wants to try a style that would definitely fit a guy.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roxy-Bikini-...em257007 9d53

I look at the front of that suit and know there isn't enough material to contain me with any movements -- like walking, sitting or swimming. I have tried about 10 of the female suits and only found one that I could wear and not have to adjust avery couple minutes. You are lucky if you fit in them cuz I have seen racks of them at end of season for as low as $2.

Roxy
 

Well, LC did say ".....has opened a lot of eyes...."

Thanks for Ebay pic but not sure whether I am reading it accurately.

Width at crotch would be a concern for me as with PSDave.
Is there some some of slot at centre front of waist band?
Does this wide waist band overhang as some kind of tiny "skirt"?
(that bit not likely to appeal to speedo-lovers I would guess)

The waistband is just a contrasting color. Not an over hang like a skirt. As for the width at the front, it is smaller than the speedos you are used to but I am 8" and not skinny like a twig and everything fits. No slots or anything in them. They hold everything snuggly and so far I have not had any accidents with my stuff coming out. Don't forget, these are not nylon, but rather a very stretchy lycra spandex mix. I have the sames ones in the same size, I could post more pics if that would help.

notmyj:
Can you discuss sizing?

For reference, my waist is 33-34 inches. The roxy bikinis in a medium fit very well. The victorias secret bikinis run big so I found that size small from them was the best fit. From the ones I have tried, I typically wear medium, victorias secret being the exception.

bik bottoms.
 

WELL i HAVE A FEW MENS SPEEDOS HERE WERE THE CROTCH IS JUST AS WDE AS WOMEN BIKINI BOTTOM. (or just as narrow)
tHE FIRST TIME ai ORDERED A BIKINI BOTTOM I NOTICED HOW NARROW THE CROUCH IS AND WAS SURE IT WOULNT FIT BIT IT DID FIT PERFECTLY THE NARROW CROUCH DIDNT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE COMPARED TO MENS SWIMSUITS,.

There appears to be overlap in the crotch seam widths of men and women's suits, ie the narrowest men's suits will be narrower than the widest women's suits. Any woman's suit in this overlap area would be wearable by a man who can wear the narrowest men's suit.
The size of men's balls varies, as the radius increases the surface area increases exponentially (work out the maths yourself), whether the stretch in the fabric can securely accommodate this increase in surface area decides whether you can wear that bikini in public. Similarly a low cut front waist may not safely contain a larger cock.
Porn went through a phase of only showing guys with massive cocks and balls, everyone aspired towards huge size and became ashamed of their own more moderate equipment. Wearing a tight and tiny swimsuit shows that you accept what you have been given, unlike the guys in the board-shorts who claim they wouldn't fit into speedos.

"mine is so big, it won't fit into a Speedo"
 

Oh boy, are you sure you want to give the anti-Speedo, dork shorts crowd the argument that they are the well hung studs, and that anyone who can cram their junk into a Speedo is obviously lacking in the size department?

Nobody has ever been kicked off a swim team because they couldn't fit into their suit.

loves bikini bottoms
 

Hey, all :)

I love to wear women's bikini bottoms, too, as well as my speedos. Nothing wrong with that.......they're sexy! :)

They're sexy - and you know it!
(gee that would be a good song title)

Believe me, Lap Counter, it's very hot! :)

lol..yes it would :)
