This swimsuit is cut just right. My size is 32 - which is just right for this style. It probably won't look good on men with a larger abdomen. Legs are higher cut than most briefs. It's great for both sunning and swimming. Quality appears excellent although I've had it only a month. 5 stars

Being an avid swimmer, I've tried many different types of trunks, and these are, by far, my favorite. They're inexpensive, very comfortable, sized-appropriately (ie. 34 is right for a 34-inch waist), durable, and attractive. Yes, there is a seam in the front and the back, but you should be able to gather that from looking at the picture, and considering the fact that it is lined in the front (and on some of the lighter colors, in the back as well), this is a non-issue comfort-wise; the seam is actually there to better provide the contour necessary for the masculine figure. In response to a previous review, I have never experienced a problem with this suit being too narrow to be morally decent, and I've been wearing solar styles suits for a couple of years now, in various sizes. 5 stars

Skimpy and speedy, slinky and sexy... the Speedo Solar 1" suit is exactly as advertised and reviewed (no, I don't work for Speedo.) Looks so hot out of the water, low and snug on your hips, that both men and women will compliment you, as well as hit on you. Feels way cool in the water, almost like you're skinny-dipping. Mine feels so good that I'm stoked to swim as hard and fast as I can.

You should protect against the mortal enemies of Lycra - chlorine and other chemicals, salt, sun, heat, and abrasion. Most importantly, always soak and rinse your Speedo thoroughly in cold water right after each swim. Then, let it air-dry completely in the shade until it regains its shape. It's best to sit on towels - not on pool decks, rocks, or sandy beaches. Also, don't wash or dry Lycra suits in any kind of machine. And just go butt nekkid in hot tubs. (Isn't that what everybody wants to do anyway?)

If you buy two suits and alternate their use, they should last up to a year. Since my measurements were between sizes on the Speedo charts, I chose the smaller one and it stretched to fit perfectly in all the right places.

So...be confident and go for this bold look and feel. You won't regret it, and you'll probably get hooked, like I am, on doing "bikini style." Carpe diem, my bro! 5 stars

HAD SEAM IN FRONT AND BACK. THE CROUCH AREA WAS SO NARROW YOUR PRIVATES WERE EXPOSED.I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND.I SENT IT BACK. 1 star

The new fabric and style is awesome far better that the old heavy lycra speedo used in the original solar briefs. They seem to fit a lot better now as well, lower on the hips than b4 reducing that "hammock" effect, making them much more flattering. Originally purchased to sun in, I wear them when I work out, and swim laps. I have even concidered wearing them as underwear they are that confortable. The tie string could be a little longer and it would have been nice if they used a round string rather than the flat one. I also purchased a white pair same style, and the double fabric makes them supioror to all other suits I have worn. I think speedo should use that tech on all the colors, It seems like they retain their shape better. Will deff. purchase this product again. 5 stars
