I could wear as skimpy as possible in public! Like in that photo! (No thongs, I don't like thongs!)
But I not longer want to, because the public beaches, pools in the U.S. doesn't quite welcome Speedos or less. I often got laughter, giggles from ladies when I was wearing bikinis at the beaches. One time, as soon as I arrived at the beach wearing a green 1/2" bikini, a few young ladies immediately picked up their camera and tried to take my pictures.
Another thing is, in New York City at the public pools, they check your swimsuits at the door before they'll let you in. The suits have to be not too revealing and with double lined front pouch!

I cut out the lining in my TRY swsimbriefs and my Speedos swimbriefs. They're both blue and not transparent when wet. I wonder if I would still be allowed to wear them. If worse came to worse, I'd simly wear them under my jeans and put a decent pair in my backpack. Could that be done? I ask in case I go to New York one day and decide to use their public pool.
