Thanks for the advice , I have had a couple of joe Snyder bulge thongs but I felt they were too provocative for my taste but I might try an ergowear as I don’t mind unlined or clingy

For exercise laps in sports pool 100% inside tie cord giving extra security when pushing away from pool end ,
Ergowear 4d brief fits the bill for me
I was looking at the ergowear 4d on dgu and it is £48 which I wouldn’t pay . I noticed the underwear brief is 31 and is polyamide and spandex . I realise it is single lined but do you think that would be a suitable purchase for swimming ?

I had a look at the brief , sure you could use it for swimming, it’s going to be very clingy when wet and I see it as having a bit more of a bulge . I use many different kinds of underwear for swimming when feeling risky, not in this country but when abroad either on the beach or hotel pools , Joe synder feathers bulge thong is a good example, my lastest purchased is Modus vivendi C-through T-string and Anti bacterial G -String , can’t wait to use them in Fuerteventura in May

Swim briefs that are made for competition or fitness swimming will always have an inside draw string as they are designed to have low drag in the water. Being an avid swimmer I naturally prefer this style. Its just a clean and sleek look to me. Tying the draw string tight gives it more security when pushing off the wall. I also like it at the beach in rough surf.

I wear “underwear” for swimming all the time, usually ice silk material, but I prefer the thinner material and briefer cut, so long as they cover everything they’re fine.

I have several Bang Miami swimsuits, which I love. They have drawstrings with nice metallic ends, and I leave these to hang outside. This prevents chafing, and looks quite sexy.

Preference is inside, however if they were designed as a fashion feature then outside is fine.

Good point here, and you are right. There are some swim thongs that have drawstrings with metallic ends. They can definitely cause irritation if they are put inside.
