Tend to agree
I do prefer lower cut suits myself. But, I tend to agree that tight lycra blend briefs are not comfortable nor do they look very flattering -my opinion. I favor small briefs (but correctly sized) that have 2" sides -speedo endurance (European) or Caussie (Australian). I recently purchased a 2" nylon-lycra blend low cut suit and reconfirmed this is not for me. Classic Aussiebums are comfortable but I find them to be a bit too baggy in the front -quite the opposite of the lycra blends.
Regarding lycra, I grew up in the 70s and I believe it contributed to the eventual downfall of mens swim briefs. I personally think the blends look great on women (it probably contributed to the explosion in bikinis); but, not so much for men as the material does conform to every detail and is particularly pronounced with lighter colored suits. I personally don't find this offensive -guys are guys....but I am definitely more self conscious in a lycra suit. I prefer 100% nylon because it feels great -very comfortable.
