Family Friendly vs Sexy and revealing – the swimsuit challenge.

Hi boys! It’s been a while since I blogged, but I know it’s #sizzlingsummer here on Undies101 and I wanted to contribute and talk about some of my challenges in finding family friendly swimwear for the beach! I live near the coast & therefore have many opportunities to wear a different swimsuit in front of a new audience every time. Whenever I go into a beach store I am drawn to the suit section looking for a new & different style that I haven’t seen out on the beach. 

Yes, I have a few pairs of board shorts. But I feel like I blend in with the crowd too much. Where’s the originality in that?

In my area we are fortunate that thong swimsuits are permitted. But I very rarely see any guys wearing them. Mostly just the girls. That hasn’t stopped me from wearing them on occasion. I find that if I have my earbuds in, the people around me just “disappear” and I can enjoy my beach time. However, I will say that on the times I wear my thong suit I don’t flaunt it when there are a lot of families with small kids. But when there are none around, I enjoy the sand and waves freely. 

My wife is not a fan of speedo suits & definitely not a thong suit. She thinks that I am trying to get people to look at my bulge. (Now why would I want that? ) To be honest, I’m not crazy about wearing them around my young kids either. I will instead wear the speedo suits when I am at the beach with a lot of families around. 

Therefore, I have found the square cut suits to be a perfect suit to be worn around my wife and kids. I only have one pair which is Grey. With all the different pairs I tried on that day, I felt that the Grey would be the least flaunting of showing off my bulge, but still show it off. As I look back at the pics I took in the fitting room, I wish I would have got the Blue pair. I’m afraid that my tan dick & balls would be visible through the fabric of the white or yellow. (Definitely not something I want my kids seeing) 

Unfortunately the square cut suits are not as popular as the board short style so finding them in the beach shops are hard to locate. Next chance I see them I think I will get the Blue pair. 

I have one pair of the square cut suit, three pairs of the board shorts, one thong suit, & three or four pairs of the speedo suits. I think my favorite speedo suit is the black and turquoise suit. Hope you like seeing all the options I considered, and what I ended up purchasing.
