New to wearing a Speedo swim brief

[obe12]

Welcome Tsturbo,

I am just like yourself. 6 ft 220 49 years old. I enjoy swimming for the exercise
And laying out at my overnights hotel, pools. I swim in doors, and out. I wear good fitting Speedo, Arena, TYR, AussieBum racer syle briefs. I do seem to be alone at the hotel when I do and I just do my thing. Be confident, respectful and enjoy your choice.

As a tip, US market swimwear is over sized all ready to fit well.
Meaning I wear 36 blue jeans, if I wear a 36 speedo brief, it's loose and water collects in the suit. Once it gets wet it gets worse/ losens up.

So, I measure my hips, widest part the suit fits. Subtract 4 inches it work for polyester low spandex suits, I have and do wear higher spandex suits a size Lower subtract 6 and they are perfect for not sagging after swimming.
I wear endurance 5cm speedo suits I get from Austraila, a 34 85cm and I am 40 inch hip guy. The fit is fantastic. I have about 100 pair of briefs, if you order Asian cutt add 2 sizes to what ever material suit you wear. Poly 36 order 40 asia poly, if 50/50 ploly/ spandex your 34, order 38 Asian
It works for me every time.

So forget the waist, measure the hips widest part.
Subtract 4 inches will get you where you want to be.

Us sizng is generous. The more Spandex the more stretch too. If your are Smimming, loose is not good thing.

Ok, welcome and enjoy!

Thanks guys, I apprecite the welcome and advice, hoping I didn't order too large of a size, two speedos in size 40 and one Addidas in size 38, speedos arrive tomorrow and I can't wait to try them on!

Most reputable companies have liberal return policies so when you try the suits on, leave the tags on just in case you aren't satisfied with the fit. You don't want the suit to fit loose because it will become looser in the water. Hope you enjoy them.

Got my Speedos today in the mail Love the Endurance + brief, but do not like the dive brief at all which I am going to return.

Size 40 feels good but I believe size 38 would fit me a little better once wet
Just ordered an Aussie Bum Swish brief size 38 in onyx color, skimpy, sexy and wow how I am going to be lovin this in the upcoming southern Caribbean vacation
