You might also want to look at swimwear from Sukrew in the UK. They have a great pouch in front that is most accommodating.! I'm a 40-inch waist and these fit me just fine. They offer swim briefs and swim.thongs.

Thanks, to be honest, having looked them up, I'm not that big up front to really need a big pouch for support :lol:

I'm only about 5.5 cut and wear a B-pouch in RMAC undies so I'm not that big either. But I do like the Sukrew pouch!

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd provide you with a partial update.
I was originally going to order the HOM micro swim briefs, but the shipping was going to take a while; so I decided to order the Kiniki micro swim briefs.
I ordered them and collected them and after trying them on, I decided that they were way too small and I felt that they were inappropriate for the swimming pool; although maybe that's because I ordered XL 38-41 inch waist and didn't scale up to a bigger size.
I was thinking of ordering the HOM micro swim briefs despite the long wait time, but I figured it was best not risk it after what happened with the Kiniki briefs.
So I've ended up ordering the ARENA Feel Dynamo R briefs and the Speedo Solar briefs, as they were recommended before.
I'm thinking that they will be a happy medium as they seem to be higher cut and slightly more revealing than my old pair of Speedos but also appropriate for the swimming pool.

Still in the process of moving house, but I should have officially moved in by next week, and my friend says that she's up for going swimming that week so another update should be coming soon.

If you are still browsing around, I can also recommend the Todd Sanfield swim briefs. I have about 4 of his name, I am only brave enough to wear them under my shorts - but they have seen day light a couple of times. They have different widths of sides and sunga style if you like and of course thongs. I have one of his swim things and it is very comfortable.

Thanks, I think they might be a bit too expensive, especially with shipping, but I'll keep them in mind.
I have to admit, after the fiasco with the Kiniki briefs, I've become slightly paranoid about briefs being too low in the waist, especially because, unlike a lot of the models that they use on websites, I actually have a bit of a belly and a low waist really doesn't look good.
In terms of the Todd Sanfield swim briefs, do they fit like regular swim briefs, such as a Speedo, or are they lower waist like Kiniki?

I've never worn Kiniki, so I don't know how low they sit. I'm not a skinny and have worn the Todd Sanfield. If you catch them on sale, they are super reasonable. I was able to get the swim thong for $5 - it isn't a color I would pick, but for $5 it is great :). I don't think they are any lower than the Pool boy swim briefs or the Speedo brand one I have. I am also not a model, I have a belly as well.

I might consider them when they're on sale.

Hey everyone,
Finally picked up both pairs of swim briefs today.
I ordered size 38 in both as that's the size my original Speedo and they both fit perfectly.
I reckon I could have gotten away with a smaller size, but I think they would have been slightly too tight and restrictive, at least with a size 38 I know they fit fine and are comfortable enough.
They might not be as revealing as some other swim briefs, however after the unfortunate incident with the Kiniki briefs I've decided that I'm okay with that.
Just arranging with my friend to go swimming next week and also booking myself in for a lane swimming session; looking forward to taking both pairs out for a spin.

Hey guys,
To conclude my story, I went swimming three times this week; twice lane swimming and then a casual swim with my friend.
The first time I went lane swimming, I wore my Speedo Solar brief, the second time I wore my ARENA Feel Dynamo R brief; both were really comfortable and I felt really good in them.
As always there were one or two looks as we were all walking out to the pool area; personally I find that if I catch someone looking it's best to return the look with a smile, at which point they will either smile back or be so embarrassed that they got caught looking that they instantly turn away; not that it offends me, at the end of the day if they don't like what I'm wearing, then that's their problem not mine.
After purchasing my Speedo Solar briefs and ARENA Feel Dynamo R briefs, I actually decided to reorder the HOM Men's Slip De Bain Micro Sea Life Swim Briefs as I was genuinely interested in them.
They ended up arriving just in time for me to go swimming with my friend, so I decided to wear them.
They were also very nice to wear and I actually enjoyed the fact that they revealed a bit of bum cheek as I both walked and swam.
All in all, a success all around with all three pairs of briefs.
Now if only I could find underwear that matches.
