Scuba Side Stripe Jammer by Tulio

Wow! Tulio has raised the bar again with these boardshort-scuba style swim jammers. As I tell my wife, “y’all can squeeze into anything, but we have equipment issues to negotiate”. The smart designers recognize that the “leg hole” is the most pivotal comfort point on men’s swimwear and underwear. If they’re cut too tight, we’re uncomfortable and thus won’t wear them.

Tulio knows this and these contouring swim shorts allow flexibility and just enough pouch for frontal support for a perfect fit. With seams strategically placed on the side, they won’t chafe after swimming. The front fastens don’t roll, the drawstring is durable, and string tips are not weighted or heavy (no flapping). They look good on any body frame, but groom accordingly. For the self-contious, they have a hint shimmer but are perfectly fine swim attire in any public beach, pool, or lake setting. Definitely hang dry these to avoid fading.

Clever Exsus Swimsuit Brief

Everything that I have ever gotten from Clever has been of the highest quality with a design to fit all body types. The Exsus Swimsuit Brief is just another example of this offering 4″ sides, slightly molded front, full back coverage. The waistband with hidden drawstring are a nice touch and ensures that it fall off in the water. It’s a fitted appearance with a slight shimmer that even the most bashful male should feel confident wearing on the beach this summer.

I have the red/black pair, but they also make these in a Carribean blue. The fabric is a durable nylon/spandex blend and contours perfectly to the body, but doesn’t constrict any movement. The dry off incredibly quick and if you follow the care tips, fading should be a minimum.

IMPORTANT SIZING TIP: Clever apparel always runs small, so size up!

Flashback Basic Trunk from Andrew Christian

The Flashback “Bubble Butt” Basic Swim Trunk is probably one of the more innovative clothing items ever made for men. I ride bikes and take spin classes regularly and yet I still have no ass. It’s genetics I guess. So if you’re in the same boat as me, this is your swimsuit! It’s no BS, these add about 1 inch of rounded rump to your physique.

They do take some getting used to as the lifting support feels like a tight jock strap. Make sure to get the right size, because these bands can chafe the bottom part of your butt (especially when wet). I wouldn’t recommend them for active wear either for that same problem. But if your casually hanging out at the beach or pool, they’re perfect and are certainly flattering to the posterior. The material is premium and contours exceptionally well, so it works for almost all body types.

Andrew Christian is a pioneer in this industry and I’ve got quite a few other items from them of which are all top quality. If you’re on a budget, don’t fear the sticker shock because as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I went the “knockoff” route before and that was a waste.

Just about all the established sites sell them, but you buy them in their LA retail stores or their website: Flashback Basic Swim Trunk by Andrew Christian
