aB WJ Loose or Classic in 1.5 or 2.5?

Post by devildog » Tue Oct 23, 2018 1:52 pm

Hey guys I'm going to order my next aussiebum's and want to ask advise. Do any of you own the WJ Loose or Classic in 1.5 or 2.5? Which colors, how are they cut, how do they fit, any preferences?

I have only ever ordered underwear from AB. Cotton soft and seamless.
I do find the sizing very inconsistent so I stopped buying from them.

I have a WJ 1.5 loose and a 1.5 classic. The WJ 1.5 loose fits okay the the 1.5 classic is too baggy.

The red is the WJ 1.5 loose. The blue is the 1.5 classic. I have a 32” waist and both are size M.

I like the red one better as well! Although with the red color, they look a little sheer.... what do they look like wet?

I like those red ones too. Are the blue ones also WJ? I don't have that lean swimmers bod though, more of a rugby build. They'll be tighter on me, especially because of my big butt lmao.

I like the red one better too. The blue one really doesn’t fit well at all. The blue ones are not wonder jock and as I posted in another thread they tend to gap in the crotch letting my testicles peek out. There seems to be no elastic at all in the leg opening. The wonder jock holds the testicles and keeps them from popping out the leg opening.

The 1.5 loose is really comfortable and it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all but I believe I like a snug fit better.

You can see the tag through on the back of the red one which indicates how sheer they are but I think when they get wet they’re not too bad in the back if you had a lot of butt hair it might show. In the front the wonder jock I think helps keep things covered. I haven’t really noticed a problem with show through on the front however the white side panels go completely sheer when wet

I prefer the 2.5 because they have a bit more coverage in the rear. I’ll post some pics later tonight.

Drop a few pounds. Your joking. If I looked like that in those I would be over the moon.
The green AB look great on you. I like the red but the green are spot on.

Not sure which one I like best. I’m not really a fan of the green, so I think it’s affecting my decision. I really like the suit in red. I think you look good in both, and your weight is fine!

I have some Aussiebum 1.5, a black Classic and 2 Blue Horizon. The first I've ordered in size M. But it was a little bit large when using. After damaging at the waterslides I ordered the new one in size S. And this is fitting much better! With Aussiebum suits you can downsize. And if you're ordering asian stuff you better go upsizing.
