Any chance also of recalling a model or type name for the suit in order to pursue the quest with the Speedo Museum in Sydney?
Sorry been away. I can't remember the name of the blue suit, which I bought in st. Helier. It was a Lycra type material different from the usual speedo fabric and quite stretchy. Had a front seem and one seem either side more to the front than the sides. Lower cut that normal speedos and with sides about 1/2" wide. That's about all I can recal about it. One of the most comfortable suits I ever wore

A front seam creates a pouch giving more space for your bits that tend to be a little crushed in the smooth front of a Speedo design. This may account for the added comfort.
A front pouch need not be so large or heavily engineered so as to appear inappropriate to the casual viewer.

Default super skimpy bikinis - at the legal limit for public consumption

My bikinis are so skimpy they are barely legal on a public beach. All the hair had to go. The sides are about 1/8" elastic bands. The back is at most a half-back. They are thin, unlined, and probably don't weigh an ounce. I can conceal three of these micro mini-bikinis in my fist. I spent four hours on the beach last Sunday walking for miles in nothing but a tiny black one. I have one of each color except pink:

I'm right there with you. I can't do more than 3" or less than 1.5". more than 2" is too much, and I don't have the body to pull off less than 1.5"...skin too lose from my uneducated youth.

For years my favorite style was the No Pouch Brief from Parr of Arizona.

When I had worn out the two I had, I wasn't in Phoenix and couldn't find them on the Internet and have since settled on my new favorite, the 1.5 Classic Wonderjock from Aussiebum.

I think both of these would fit in the "bikini" category. Speedos are good too. I've never really gotten into wearing micros and thongs in public, though I've owned a few.

So true about the straight line. I love a 2" speedo-style, low on the hips, with just a bit of butt crack in the back. It's good for sunning, for showing off and for swim practices - versatile, and hot looking. I've got a few 2" Speedo-brand suits made in England from e-Bay. They hold up well in chlorine and look really good. At least, they FEEL really good. Have to leave the 'look' judgement to others.

Crawler, you are allowed to put on your 2" side Speedos and look in the mirror, both before and after you step into the shower. You are permitted to decide that you look good. What other's think is less important than how you feel about wearing Speedos, enjoy the experience !

Crawler - as always, Torchwatch is right on. Part of the fun of wearing a low cut speedo is being able to admire yourself in it. So go ahead and do that and enjoy it.

This is the trend I dislike the most. I rarely find a pouch that fits well. I prefer a flat front. If you put it on when you are cold your bits stay snug and dont give you any funny business...
