What Is It About the Bulge

[snarkherder]

For me, it’s a matter of comfort vs. modesty. Where I live, no one wears a swim brief, at least not to the apartment pool. The only competitive swimmers I’ve seen wear the jammer style. So I’m breaking the mold just wearing a brief style suit. The pool rules state “appropriate attire for family setting” whatever that means. I interpret that to mean, don’t make waves.

My favorite suit is the Gary Madjdell contour pouch bikini. It cradles rather than flattens the goods. However, I choose more modest suits for the community pool that flatten things a bit more while not being too uncomfortable, like the funycell swim briefs you can find on amazon or the arena competition style briefs. Speedo and Tyr briefs are a bit too constricting for my taste.

Basically, I try not to draw attention to the bulge, but at the same time I want to be comfortable.
