Why Only Tiny Sizes?

Post by mrrigid »

I have to say, I really like the look of this Arena Brief:
But the only size available is 24!

Pretty much the same with all, it's, brothers:

I'm a 38, and I'd love to rock this at the beach. Why do they insist on having only small sizes available? Speedo manages to make a lot of sizes - so do plenty of other companies.

I had a look at their website and there seems to be quite a jump in size from the 24 to the next one up. There is no way that the guy modelling this suit is a 24" waist, so I suspect that it's aimed at young boys while the bigger sizes for adults are currently out of stock.

Could be that swimoutlet didn't order the bigger sizes in that particular one. They list a few bigger sizes than the 24 as out of stock. The arena size chart goes up to size 46. I looked at a couple of the other Arena swim briefs and most had up to size 40 listed and one had size 42.

I suppose I could just wear the 24" and see what happens!

Remember, we are still having supply-chain problems everywhere, all the popular sizes of imported items are out of stock. I won't order anything that has to be shipped from outside USA now either.

Oh, I like to downsize & squeeze into tight & tiny suits! I am also size 38, you could buy the Valentine in size 34 and enjoy the feel!

I like to wear a BBlair gaff thong for a flat front look, she has her own site with photos, https://lexybblair.com/ and since she makes them in the USA, all sizes & colors are in stock. (There is a Chinese imitation sold on Amazon, avoid that one)
