Sheer rating 8/10

Post by SpeedoSimone » Thu Feb 16, 2017 2:41 am

There is a big sale in aussiebum.com so I got myself a white and blue Vintage Stripes Brando (Sheer rating 8/10) and a pair of yellow Insignia Pacific.

Its the first time I buy Aussiebum and I really dont know what to expect. I am a bit scared that the Brandos will be too transparent when wet. Anyone has some Aussiebums with sheer rating 8/10? Can anyone say how transparent they are? Thanks!

They will be very transparent. You can see through a wet 3/10

8/10 is see through as in "I can see the outline of your penis"? Or as in "Nice uncut penis, man!"?

I'd imagine 8/10 is eye of the tiger stuff.

These are 7/10 and you can see everything, like no secrets type of everything. The front is double lined and its like "nice circumcision man". Rear and white is next time go nudie stuff.

Thanks for the demonstration! This has really helped me out a lot! It seems that the 8/10 will be much more transparent than I hoped for. I guess I won't be wearing mine to the local lake with my friends :P

Although the 8/10's that I bought have a white/blue vertical stripe pattern, so maybe the pattern itself will help in keeping my friends wondering wether Im circumcised or not :lol:

Wow this is transparent. How do you plan to wear this to the Bondi etc and get away with it?

Be wary of AB's "sheer ratings". AB now rates the light blue/white "Noosa" loose that Sam models, as a very low 2/10, not 7/10. I have a pair and they're just as transparent wet as Sam's. However, I've worn them to hotel pools, and just stay "discrete" until they begin to dry, which is quick, and then all's well; same with my Ice Blue suit. I just bought a Classic 1.5" white -- we'll see how that goes!

On a general note, AB has gotten very opaque at least to sell suits. Their descriptions no longer give side seam dimenions, and for the newer styles, not even if they have a drawstring, elastic, or linings!

So, My aussiebums arrived yesterday! And I must say that the Insignia are really beautiful! M size fits very snug and comfortable. What do you guys think?

Because of you I just bought two pairs.
Hot! Post pics Jace. I love a photo of a man in an Aussiebum.
