White GM Brief- Not What I Expected

I purchased a white swim brief by GMS off on Amazon. I was not unaware of the sheer nature of white nylon but was foolishly convinced by the product Q&A saying the front lining prevented excessive transparency and the photos suggesting a very solid brief. https://www.amazon.com/Signature-Dra.../dp/B00IIRBVZK

Needless to say when this arrived I was suprised to find that it was not even completely opaque when dry and barely even visible when wet. Now I, for one, think this sort of thing is pretty cool but the rest of the United States is not in agreement with me on this. Am curious as to what settings and activities dudes here are comfortable with wearing sheer swimwear at and for. Maybe I'm overreacting; should I post photos for confirmation?
