I use briefs from skinzwear. They are smaller than they appear in the photos. But they do fit very well...

The beauty and fascination of men's swim briefs (and bikinis) is that small chnges in fabric, design and colour (patterns) can make dramatic effects to the finished product.
Speedo made the original branded swim brief in nylon and later Lycra, their 2" side racing briefs may be considered classic.
Arena wanting to compete with Speedo created a hipster brief, lower than Speedos that were tied around the waist, low enough to give a hint of ass crack.
Japanese Arena (and other Japanese brands eg Aqux) took the low cut theme to the extreme creating rear tunneling.
The 2" side of the classic Speedo can be reduced to 1" or even !/2" but at !/2" it becomes a bikini.
Speedo currently make a 3" suit, but if you expand the side to perhaps 5" you more into the area of Brazillian Sungas, sometimes these are mistaken for squarecut swimsuits (boxer briefs) but they lack little legs.
The classic Speedo has a full rear, chnaging brands you can get a 3/4 rear, a 1/2 rear or a 1/4 rear, the 1/4 rear is also known as a swim thong, it will ride up into you ass crack and reveal your buttocks.
When you lower a swim brief and use a narrower hip width you reduce the space at the front, the classic Speedo has smooth front, when wet it becomes skin tight, when you reduce the space for this you need a slight or a full front pouch, the Addicted brand use a slight pouch as do Aqux, whilst Seobean and some Aussibum designs have a full pouch. You can spot a full pouch by the front stitching on a convex cut seam.
Most swim briefs and bikinis are meant to be swum in and have a waist cord, minimal fashion bikinis have thinner elastic and no waist cord, beware of diving in then as the bikini may float on the surface while you dive through them.
White yellow and ice blue swim briefs may go transparent when wet, watch out for this especially if they are unlined. Testing them in the shower before wearing them in public can be fun and revealing.
As you begin the collect swim briefs you'll group them as suitable for public swimming pools, busy beaches, quiet beaches and remote beaches.
Generally the more quiet and remote a beach is the further you have to drive and walk to get there, and the more adventurous other beach users will be. Carry a variety of swimwear and wear what seems suitable on the day.
Have fun!
