Default swim brief with super narrow sides

Some time ago we had this long debate over whether a photo showing a volleyball player wearing a super narrow sided black swim brief war real or photoshopped and I think the conclusion generally was that the photo was altered, me included on this.

But in my scrounging around I just encountered a site selling a very similar super narrow black brief--and at a reasonable price. So if some of you guys are interested in "the look" take a look. Interestingly the brief seems to provide full coverage in the rear.

These are Brave Person bikini briefs (single layer), I already have some in orange and rather like them. However the swimsuit in question is a low slung, very narrow sided square cut. They do exist, I've seen them in a Japanese video, your mission should you choose to accept it is to find them for sale somewhere.

I have the same bikini in black, blue, white and pink and use them when I go running beneath my shorts. Ultra comfy and give a lovely profile.

Default Low sides Mategear Ong Min

Mategear has a low-side suit with a full rear, so it can stay on you, but it is popular and selling out fast. I have several of their low flat-front suits I can wear in ocean surf. This is more colorful than the one on the volleyball player.

Yes it was me who posted the original question. Later in the same thread I posted the original image that I later found online. This confirmed that it had been altered - well they can't both be right, so unless extra material had been added?! Thanks for the link - I would wear them on the beach, but the back is a bit too full for me. On the same site though I found these which I might try https://www.lightinthebox.com/en/p/m...ml?prm=1.3.0.8

Just for the record, here is the original "volleyball player" photo, together with the original unaltered version I found weeks later!

That volleyball player is cute as he can be! The yellow, nearly see-through bikini shown in the lightinthebox site - you can actually get them for free - just pay postage - from a site called frundies.

How does that work then? I guess the postage is enhanced to cover the costs?

In studying this the fixed postage is $7.99 for the first Frundie pair $5.99 for each additional pair.

But I can go on ebay and find something that appears to be very similar for $6 to $8 with free shipping. are these inferior to the product frundies is offering? That is an empirical issue. Someone here might want to research that and I would be interested in whatever is discovered.

I won't wear a bikini with sides more than 1/2" wide. I've found no better styles or quality in the world better than those from The TM Collection Japan. The half-back versions made of wet look material are all I wear on the beach.
