Speedo malfunction question

I was swimming today in my oldest, and my favorite suit. It occurred to me that my suit due to age and chlorine could sheared. Or is it more likely that the seams would give way, and give me time to make it to the locker room.

I find the material usually stretches in the butt or in the front. I’ve never had a rip. For Nylon, the chlorine washes the colour out and it goes transparent before any problems with the material.

I've worn out many a swimsuit over the years from daily lap swimming. They didn't used to be as long lasting as some new ones like Endurance and Chloroban. But I never have ripped one or torn the seams. The fabric just gets real loose and saggy and virtually see through. No support and they just stretch out everywhere, ridiculously impossible to wear.

The only malfunctions I've heard off is the drawstring breaking. But usually that's discovered when a guy puts his suit on, BEFORE he's entered the pool. I think suits can became faded and saggy and almost see-through, like swimmy says, but probably don't burst apart.

Transparency: Seems that turns out to be the problem. The other day I bought a pair of fog proof googles, and when I when to went to retie my suit I notice I could see my dick. Maybe that's always been the case, but now that I have better googles I just now noticed. When I'm not in the water, I can't see through them, but add water and... Hello!

I'm guessing it's not an actual Speedo brand, perhaps not even any top brand swim brief? Fair assumption in a forum that really is most attentive to the bulge and vpl.

True, it’s an N2N. Very, very old. I think what may be happening is the suit is becoming more transport, but it seems to be stretching as the fabric loses resilience. Still a nice suit and while I’m swimming, it feels like I have a string around my waist. I really don’t feel the suit at all.

I had an International Male suit rip at a side seam after only a few times in the pool. The top most section, where the string goes through, and the stitching down at the leg openings were ok, but the side seam just popped/ripped one day.

I was wearing an old speedo in Florida and this one guy kept going by, although he had shades on I could tell he was interested in what he was seeing. He wasn't exactly my type but it was late in the day so I decided to approach him. After a very short conversation he told me my nutsack was hanging out. It was and that's what all the passbys were about. Worn out elastic. BTW, I blew him because he was shaved.♥️
