Liners and drawstrings

Time for a couple of quick questions to get some chatter going.

1) When you buy a new speedo, do you cut out the liner (assuming it has one)?

2) Do you leave the drawstring hanging out, or do you tuck it in?

Personally, I always cut out the liner. As for the drawstring, I leave it tied & hanging outside as I don't swim for competition.

depnding on the suit, the liner stays...but if it's a 'headturner' i cut out the liner. also, i leave the drawstring out...it's like an invitation to come over and request to take it off

cheers!

Well I usually don't do any cutting on mine. They are fine for me the way they are.

I do however leave drawstrings untied and hanging out, I like that look!

8) I always cut off the liner. Especially if
it's a white silky aussie bum..I keep the Strings.It's great for letting them sway
in the breeze. More eye action 4 those

Nate -

If you cut the liner out of your white Aussiebums, they must be a sight when wet.... they get really sheer even with the liner left in!

I'd love to see a pic of that! Why don't you use it as an avatar? Or if you are shy, you can PM me ...

I usually leave them tied and in - but you guys got me wondering... maybe I'll try the untied and out look (as long as Jace and Matt aren't around... lol

Cause I know they'd be off in a flash then....

1) Cut the liner... everyone wants to see your stuff! Those who don't want to see it won't be looking! Well, that's the logic I'm using.

I was at a pool with my GF and got out of the water. "I can see everything" she says and I don't know if she means an outline or if the red Speedos are really transparent. That did it... now I wear them everywhere.

2) STRINGS OUT! ALWAYS!!!! Why do you think the strings are even in there?!? To keep the suit from falling off? I don't think so. :)
