Hey guys need a little help. Curious about speedos size to be specific Australian suits like Aussiebums and Japanese suits that are small and tight. I just want to compared sizes to American speedos cuz I just bought a couple Aussiebums just now and I hope they are the right size. My waist is a 34 while I can wear a 28 and 30 size speedo. For the aussiebums i got a medium. Hope u guys can help.

Hi Swimdude,

I note that you refer to "small and tight" speedos. That would seem to indicate that you prefer a tighter, rather than looser, fit. The Aussiebums that you have bought translate to a 32" or 33" size, yet you say that your (original) speedo sizing was a 28" or 30" speedo, even though you have a 34" waist.

I think you are probably too large in the size of Aussiebum that you have selected, and it seems that you have some doubt that you've got the size "right" . Recommendation: go to what you like, try a 30" or even a 28". There's no "one right size"; as in all things in life, it's about you, and what you prefer....and you have referred to "small and tight", that's not going to be found (for you) in the "M" sizing.

All the best,

P.S. You should have a right of size exchange with Aussiebum, so stay with that, to try and get it right. In our range of Caussie, that right exists and is encouraged, and, as previously advised in the earlier "Aussiebum Size" topic, I reckon you are a natural for a size 30", or even a 28" Caussie.

I understand what your saying Caussie. I was just unsure because i never bought a pair of aussiebums. So i didnt know the suit size variation because i usual bought american speedos.

The aussiebums I think are pretty right if you're comparing by inches. ie the M is probably what a speedo 33 would be. I'm right between 32 and 34 in a speedo which I think is 14 and 16 but the M Aussiebums fit right and they advise them as being 32-33.
