Welcome to the forum! I'm in Chicago.

That's so too bad -- but if you are annoyed, get swimoutlet customer service to process an exchange for you, if they are still in new condition. Swimoutlet is usually pretty accommodating.

I'm really skinny too (nearly 6 ft tall and only 145 pounds), so I know how you feel. If you look at my recent "I will wear it" post in photos, you'll get an idea how a much smaller suit can look. Though that Desmiit may seem a bit too small to you for your next step down - at least even though it i...

Red's comments just above are insightful, and I am struck by what you quoted her saying in your first post. If you apply some basic counseling insight about communication and feelings, it might be interesting to work on sharing and validating each others feelings rather than arguing about the logica...

Just my opinion, but this post is a bit discouraging to wear swim briefs. At least, I have now been a bit discouraged. It makes me sad that speedoboi would get discouraged reading comments by folks on this site. How can we usually say that briefs are the reasonable swimwear compared to ridiculous b...

Some chance I may try to get to a bay area beach Monday afternoon. If so, anyone want to coordinate plans?

briefs55

Well, tanodle, if you plan a bay area beach trip some weekend, let us know - maybe between Bullseye or me or the other northern Californians someone would be able to make the trip over to join you.

That's the same as I'm doing -- about 45-50 minutes per mile. It's difficult to imagine how I could speed up that much.

Hey BriefsBro,I hope you feel encouraged, and not pressured, by the many voices here saying "go for it." We all need to feel our way into increasing boldness at our own pace. In my case, I wanted to start lap swimmming in briefs about three years ago, but was intimidated by being at a suburban gym p...

_su_, great minds think alike. I must have received my suit just like yours about the same time. I bought style in Small and one in Medium. I'll include them in a post in the photos area.

briefs55

I just bought several Desmiit suits myself from an Amazon seller (Nelius); many of the sizes and styles were free shipping (and free returns!) using Amazon Prime. I'll post some pictures in the pictures area.

It has taken me a couple years of inconsistent start/stop, and even investing in some private swim lessons with the coach at the local gym, but finally I am able to swim a mile comfortably 2-4 times per week. I still seem to be the slowest person in the pool, but oh so gradually I am getting a littl...

I will be visiting San Diego over Labor Day weekend and the week following.
Are any of you in the area there planning any beach days? It would be great to have other folks to hang out with.

Would Diveguy like this one okay?

I have been swimming occasionally for a couple months at a local fitness center pool, almost always the only guy with a speedo (sporti euro cut). No reaction (at least that I can clearly discern) but so far I have generally come and gone from the poolside in shorts so maybe have avoided opportunitie...

Thanks guys for all your feedback. So I am swimming in "B" but have not been going very often yet this winter. It feels good. I just hope as the one brief-wearer among all the jammers I will someday not be the absolute slowest person in the pool too!

Hi Nomad26, how's your swimming going. I followed the voters of my gday "help me choose" post and have been wearing the smaller brief in my (so far not very regular) visits to the pool. Except one day everyone else has been in jammers, and I admit it feels a bit silly to be in the smallest brief and...

briefs55

Actually I was thinking I want to apologize to Nomad26. This is his "G'day" thread, so it should be all about welcoming him rather than getting caught up in my own feelings. (I probably deep down share exactly the same feeling both of you were stating.) So, welcome Nomad26! I hope your approach give...

briefs55

Thanks for your feedback on the pictures I posted Monday on the Say G'day board. Next question for you: I am struggling to decide what to wear between the locker room and the pool, when I finally start swimming for exercise regularly at a local family-oriented fitness center with outdoor pool (in a ...

briefs55

Oh, that's a discouraging thought! So far in my initial swimming I am half as fast as the slowest people in the pool. So I don't "deserve" the speedo look but I am intending to boldly wear what's enjoyable anyway. Hmm, I wonder what that will make people think about my motivations; I hope I'm not si...
