The topic here is about what you prefer in showing the bulge and what kind of pouch or lack of pouch you prefer. For me, my package is in the normal size range and I prefer the Asian cut bikinis for their low front cut and average pouch size. I place my penis down and to the left so as to create an even bulge or rounded bulge. Some of my suits do shown a slight penis outline.

If I have to pick a favorite, it would be a large, low-hanging, unlined pouch with fairly stretchy fabric on a suit with very narrow or string side straps. However, I love experimenting with all pouch styles: large, small, contoured, built-in C-ring, any and all.....

I like bulging thongs. They just fit better then unseamed 'flat' suits. In a bulge thong your stuff is in a more natural position, which is just more comfortable. Most of my thongs are bulge thongs.
Just my opinion...

When I wear those types of suits, I really don't care about the size of my bulge or that it is visible. Just as long as it is covered.

The thing what really concerns me is that my bulge is fine, but once I got into the water and get little chilly, my bulge became small lol

I prefer snug flat-front suits so I don't have the "empty pouch look" from the cold water.

Hi CrossfiThong,
That’s indeed a concern. If the fabric of your suit had lots of stretch it will compensate most of the shrinkage. I must say that I like the effect of the fabric clinging to my package after swimming.

Growing up, I’d occasionally wear a speedo when competing or scuba diving. They were tight and had a flatter front. Looking back, they were not very comfortable. I prefer Skinz or Grand Axis bikinis now. They have much more of a pouch than the speedos did, which makes them more comfortable. They also show more when I’m aroused. Next, I’d like to try an unlined bikini.

All my bikinis and thongs are unlined, if they come with a lining I cut it out, linings are way too much material.

I have a similar backstory. I grew up doing competitive swimming so speedos were the norm for that. I’d also wear them under wetsuits when diving. And although I still believe speedos have their place for serious lap swimming, the Skinz suits (my go to brand) are definitely WAY more comfortable for recreational wear. Now that you’ve crossed into the “sexier” suits and plan to venture out wearing them on vacation it will be interesting to see how your swimwear tastes progress.

Since I am a 'grower', I might be better off wearing swim thongs with a flat front, but I actually prefer my swimsuits to show a bit of bulge. I want my swimsuits to look masculine, and I feel like flat fronts look too feminine.
