RE:Speedos or board shorts

Does tan thru swimwear work - ie are they effective at enabling total tanning and yet also effective at not letting anything show through when it would be inappropriate for anything, eg a cock, to show through?

The tan through swimwear uses eye confusing patterns to conceal things. Yes they do work, but they are about the equivalent of SPF 15 lotion, so bare skin will get more exposure. Also, the seams pretty much block all sun, so you need to readjust occasionally to move the seams around or they will leave noticeable lines. Make sure you get quality suits. There are many knock-offs that do not last long.

The Original SOLAR suits doesn't seem to be in business anymore ( lifestylesdirect.com ). Kiniki ( kiniki.com ) is now probably the best.

I have tried Kiniki an Cooltan and find Cooltan better.
Skinzwear has a lot of them too, but I haven't tried them yet.

I love the tan-through fabrics for the light-weight and quick drying-qualities more than the tan-through aspect. I've never actually got around to trying to quantify the tanning with any degree of rigour.

I also liked how when my wife had one when, as she lifted herself out of the water, each hole momentarily held a drop of water that really highlighted her curves in the sunlight. That and the fact that parts of her body subtly defeated the tan-through pattern. :-)

I get these from Temu for about a fiver so they are practically disposable, and cut the lining out

I like to wear speedos. White aussiebums that goes transparent when wet. Even at public beaches.
