The wedding band test
The gold standard for tiny swimwear, and apparently one that's been around for some time, is the wedding band test.Your swimsuit passes the test if you are able to slip it through a wedding band.A few of my suits meet this criterion.
Does that suit have a thong back?
The suits I wear for exercise swimming at the public pool don't pass the test but ALL the suits I have worn on the beach, sunbathing at hotels and in hotel swimming pools and hot tubs over the last five years do pass. (I've just checked.)
That's an impressive statistic, John. Not all of mine pass, but I love the ones that do.
Just for the record that is six g-strings and three tangas.
I also have about half a dozen other suits, thongs and tangas which I have not worn for about five years and don't pass the test.
I consider them to be regular suits for wearing almost anywhere and they vary between one-inch and three-inch sides. I don't remember ever having more than one swimsuit with more than a five-inch side.
I have even worn this one-inch side costume walking through the crowds at the central London canal boating festival pictured below.
My wife still says that style of Hom is her all-time favourite, while my kids don't want me in anything less than boardies! She tolerates my briefer suits to a degree, while I keep looking for opportunities to wear less.
I assume the Hom suit is the one pictured above (and below) which my wife picked out as the older suit which should be the standby for when the usual suits I wear to the public pool for our exercise swims are still awaiting a rinsing wash.
