I got home and measured mine. I have one ultra and four that are the regular Greek Bikini. There is in fact a different style number.

The strange thing is that my new Greek Bikinis are 7/8” and the new ultras are 3/4” but so are the regular Greek Bikinis that I’ve had for a couple of years even though they have the same style number as my newer ones.

Thank you. The back has good coverage too which is unusual for a skimpy suit.

Hi guys! So International Jock is doing a 3-day 20% off sale right now, and I am wondering if anyone actually has bought Rick Majors, the "super low rise" style, which claims to has 1" sides.

http://www.internationaljock.com/rick-m ... 53271.html

I want to know how the sizing runs. I'm 31 waist, so falls right in between their S and M sizing guidance. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!!

I ordered a Rick Majors low rise brief this summer. I’m normally a size 32 and I ordered a Medium (32-34). It was too big so I returned it in exchange for a small but instead they refunded my money so I’ve never tried the small to see if it fits. I may order a small in both low rise and ultra low rise.

Hmm interesting. Thanks for your input!

I just got a response from their customer service saying they highly recommend that I get a MEDIUM. I gave them two actual measurements, one being the the waist, which is a bit under the navel, and the other is much lower on the body where I think the actual swimwear waistband is going to sit. The latter for me is 33.5, while the former is 31. And they recommend MEDIUM.

But then, there might be a difference in fit between the low rise and the super low, so I'd be interested in hearing about the outcome if you do end up buying them.

For me those measurements are about 33.5 and 36.5. I don’t remember what about them was too large but I have a sort of small butt so they might have been too large because of that. Certainly a big butt is going to fill out a suit more even if the waist size is the same.

To put it into perspective I wear size small Sluggers Racerbacks and size 30 in Budgy Smugglers. Both of witch can gap in the crotch at the leg opening if I’m not careful.

This Gary Majdell contour pouch brief is a good fit too for those who want a little more coverage.
Wow... "Contour" is the operative word.
