swim briefs or swim shorts?

Don’t Be Afraid to Wear Swim Briefs
There’s really no law against men wearing swim briefs in public so there’s no need to be afraid of these skimpy sport skivvies. Even if the wearer isn’t in perfect shape, if the briefs feel comfortable, then they should go ahead and buy them. Swim briefs have a lot of advantages over loose types of swimwear, such as providing more support, quicker drying (reducing fungus and bacteria growth), and exposing more skin for tanning.

Don’t Buy the Wrong Size Swim Briefs
Buyers should take the advice about measurement seriously, as wearing the wrong size swim briefs not only looks terrible but can cause serious injury. Swim briefs are meant to cup the groin area to provide it support, and if they are too loose, the genitals area may experience a lot of movement which can cause a lot of pain. If the suit is too tight, these can be uncomfortable and also cause cramping around the waist and groin area. Your genitals can push up the forward fabric so much so that the thigh elastics could elevate; exposing your testicles and maybe even having them fall out.

Take Proper Care of Swim Briefs
Swim briefs and other types of swimwear like bikinis and bathing suits are vastly different from regular clothes and thus it’s not a good idea to just throw them into the washer. Instead, first rinse the briefs out in cool fresh or tap water and leave it soaking in the sink for thirty minutes to remove the sand, salt, or chlorine. Then, wash it again by hand in the sink with liquid detergent, gently massaging the fabric. Rinse out the soap and lay it out flat to dry out of direct sunlight.

Practice Wearing Swim Briefs
For those who may not be used to wearing swim briefs, it would be best to practice wearing them at home in front of a mirror before going out in public. This will not only prevent embarrassing situations, but it will allow the wearer to move confidently and comfortably. Try on the suit and make sure it fits properly. The waistband should sit just on the hips, and the front fabric should lift the genitals away from the body.

Don’t Skimp on Quality
When looking for any type of men’s swimwear, the buyer should always go for the best quality his budget can afford. Good swim briefs should not only feel comfortable, but should also be stretchy and elastic, resist chlorine to reduce wear and tear, dry quickly, and not snag easily. Purchasing a good quality pair of swim briefs will ensure that it lasts for a long time.
