Appropriate for community pool?

Well, you're covering your thighs, so what's the problem?

I guess I should have been more clear.

I am wondering about the front 'bulge' area.

I'd say not suitable for a community pool. N2N stuff doesn't leave much to the imagination. You need something with a liner.

I know - but the preponderance of long swimwear these days suggests the thigh is an erotic feature of the body.

Of course they are ok for your local pool, if you are shy about them being unlined then wear some briefs under them the first time.

I’m fairly conservative myself, but those look ok to me. I wouldn’t go much lighter in color than that though.

The briefs I wear to the pool are lined, but I have worn unlined square cuts before without incident. I think people's attention gets more drawn to the bulge if the thighs aren’t covered maybe?

Really depends on the crowd though. I’m in Northern California where you won’t see many people wearing tight fitting suits, but they don’t really bat an eye if you do.

Most jammers strike me as more revealing of male form than briefs, since they have so little compression there. They sometimes strike me as "false modesty." The V-front ones can be better in this respect, no seam up the middle.
