Looking to buy a couple of suits... need your suggestions.

I have some extra cash and I wanted to get a couple of suits. I already read some older posts about Aussiebum and N2N suits and now I am narrowing down between...
I'm a US size 30 and a bit smaller in the front and rear. Any thoughts on which suits and sizes might look the best? I am also curious if the N2N ultra-thin fabric is good for daily swimming or just playing. Any help, thoughts or suggestions would be great. Thanks, FS

Sort of generally Aussiebums run large in the butt. They seem to fit better on rounder muscular butted dudes. I think I bought a 14. I probably should have gone down a size. All-nylon suits don't stretch much. The ones I have run a little loose and my package gets scrunched between my legs sometimes and the butt could be tighter. I'm a size 30 in jeans. I have some size 28 Speedo brand lycra suits that fit okay. Its just easier with lycra because it adjusts better. I'd rather have them a little tight than too loose in the butt. I really love the looks of Aussiebums but I don't think I bot the right size.

Don't know much about N2N. I think they are more for fun than lap swimming.

The N2N's look great, I think you should get them.

Although the Aussiebum Classic in royal blue also look nice and I'm a big fan of the Aussiebum Classic range so consider them if you ever think of buying another pair ;]

Hey guys thanks for comments. I'm looking for both attention and laps :). Does a suit exist that's good for both? I'm also thinking more and more of going with an Asian suit. The past thread on asian suits has kinda died. Did anyone ever find a good place to get them? I found a seller wql43 On ioffer.com. They kinda look like the china knockoffs though. If I do get an AB I'd get an xs and hopefully It would fit better on my butt. FS

I decided to go with a Japanese suit (Toot) for a better fit. It was kinda an Ebay experiment, so we'll see how long it holds up. The tag says made in Japan and I loved the colors, so I had to get it. I'm still getting the Aussiebums and N2Ns..eventually :mrgreen: The wacky tan line should be gone in a couple of days and please ignore the haze on the mirror. Cheers -FS

Thanks! I did find them on ioffer first and then saw them on ebay. I ended up getting these off ebay. The Meds fit me pretty well (kinda worried me) and I have a 30 waist. The white is a bit transparent when wet :oops: so I wished I had also gotten another one with the darker colors. -FS
