Leg bindings makes big difference

[quote=JamesSwim]...The seam at the bottom between the leg openings differs too -- some are range from 2 1/2" up to 3 1/2". And that makes a difference too. QUOTE]

Personally, I have found this to be one of the greatest factors in the comfort of a suit. Many suits are too wide in the groin. Most guy's legs meet at a pretty narrow point at the top, don't they? Forcing a lot of fabric to bunch up there makes a suit less comfortable. A narrow groin on a suit makes it much more comfortable, and most guys don't even realize why.

OK - what's the groin-comfort assessment on post#4 ?

That suit probably has a v-cut or Rio-back seat which would be about a 2 to 2.5 inch groin....very comfortable. If it is a thong or T-back suit, most likely a 1 to 1.5 inch groin.

These are fairly common dimensions for posing suits. What most designers of mainstream men's bikini swimwear have not yet realized is that these groin dimensions would make a 'standard' bikini suit much more comfortable. I have a Speedo with a 3.5 inch groin. That is ridiculously wide.

Agree - just shows we need a ruling body to which all speedo manufacturers must belong and therefore a central point of attention to which all customers' expectations can be addressed (and enforced).
It won't ever happen of course but some don't have a clue about what they make and so many forums contain pleas by speedo-wearers to say "Why don't they make this as...............................?"

I just noticed that I also have a Speedo brand brief with a 4 inch wide groin. So the leg bindings pulls up into the thigh and bunches up. I guess that's why people tend to stick with their favorite brands when they tend to use a pattern or cut that fits.

The wider the groin in a suit the less likely you are to drop out by accident, those with larger balls will need a wider suit at this point. What fits one person may be less comfortable for someone less well endowed.
Although exercise builds muscle and overeating builds fat we don't have control over the size of those parts of our bodies determined genetically. Find swimwear that suits you are wear it confidently whatever your body type.

I agree.....but it would also depend on where you carry that equipment. Some guys are able to wear a cockring and pull it up front, where other guys' equipment may not move very far...if at all...from where it is attached.


This guy is wearing his Speedo backwards in order to have enough room for his monster bulge...
