A black one and the other is a WJ Blue Horizon.
I'm also thinking to order blue horizon

Can you show pics of how they fit you?

The skimpiest I have worn are Speedo solars, but I usually wear Arena swim briefs when I am doing swim laps.

Don't know why there is no picture. I've tried several times to upload one.
Does anybody have an idea why the system refused uploading a picture with 548 kb?

I have always posted my pics on here 800x800 without any problems.
But tonight I can’t add pics to the forum.
I pray to the almighty Dave (God of speedos) to come down from his thrown and to help us poor mortals.
Love speedos, running shorts, rugby shorts, Aussie rules footy shorts.

@Speedoaddict
The pic I've wanted to upload is 1280x720 and much less than 1000 kb. Last uploads were more, without any problems.
So what, let's wait and/or hope for better conditions

Thanks for that. I have always done 800x800 as Dave has suggested.
Tried 600x600 as BJE suggested still nothing.
As you said let’s wait and see.

DAAAAVVVVVVE!

I've swum in Tyr 2" briefs (like I have in my avatar), which are actually closer to 1.5" in width, but even those are a little narrow, in my view, for regular lap swimming.

My typical brief for laps is an Arena suit; most of their standard briefs are 2-2.5".

I have that same suit. I love it. I don’t think it’s at all too skimpy for lap swimming. Tyr is a major competition swimwear brand. Their suits are made for swimming no just for show.

For swimming laps, I think, nothing is too skimpy. There is need for moving free and everything restrictive fabric is too much. I've never had any problems when using my Neptunescepters or my 1,5' Aussiebums

Swam in a speedo solar yesterday at my YMCA pool. It was the aqua one with stripes. Skimpiest suit I’ve ever done laps in. They have a shower on the deck that you have to use before swimming, so I had to walk around on deck in just my speedo for a bit. That was a bit of a rush.
