MemberHey all!
I’m just wondering how people out there feel about somethin. I’m a guy and I prefer to wear a female swimsuit when I’m swimming. I’m not gay and I’m not a cross dresser, I just prefer the fit and comfort of a female swimsuit.
I’ve only once been to a pool wearing a female suit but everyone stared so much that I left after about 10mintes, Is anyone out there a bit more understanding?

MemberI used to be in my high school team but I don’t swim for a team at the moment. Honestly, what’re your thoughts on this??

MemberWomen’s suits are cut different. There is no legitimate comparison.

Memberπ― Why?
You say you prfer wering a girls costume but u’ve only been swiming in it once. You make it sound like you wear it other times not swiming. -

MemberWell quite a few times I’ve gone to the pool with the swimsuit but when I get there I change my mind and either don’t go in or I wear normal trunks.
What’s the deal? Is it really so strange? It’s just more comfortable. It’s just convention that that style of suit is worn by women. Guy’s costumes used to be like that ages ago and womens covered the arms and legs. It’s just current convention that makes it seem strange… Does no one agree?

Of course they are, just minus the legs.
And if Speedo or TYR or someone made a male suit that was cut like a women’s suit, and marketed it for men….lots of men would wear it.
It’s just the idea of wearing a women’s suit that would freak out most guys. Just too much for their fragile male ego to handle.I’ve often wondered, don’t you guys worry about that little thing falling off (the suit I mean) while you’re swimming?

unless you cant tie a knot, it’s really not a big deal. in 17 years of swimming, i’ve only had a suit kind of fall off once, and that was cause i forgot to tie it cause it was a little late for practice.

Yeah. π³ Still get occasional looks but it tends to blend in with the competition suits mentioned earlier.
Like I mentioned earlier, I’d stand out so much at a pool. I’ve actually gone to the pool loads of times with the swimsuit already on under my clothes but then swapped it for trunks once I get to the changing rooms out of fear..! Poor me.

MemberProbably.
It’s a comfortable piece of clothing so I’m not too bothered when I’ve worn it.
You guys out there, try wearing one sometime; not neccesarily at a pool. Just try wearing one at home or something and forget it’s supposed to be for a girl: see if you think it’s comfortable or not.

MemberSwimIt, how old are you?
I find it very odd that you would wear a swimsuit around the house as if it were a bathrobe, cotton gym shorts, or pajamas. Even more disturbing is that you find it comfortable. I don’t know of many racing suits that I’ve ever found comfortable enough to be everyday wear. Back in the day I couldn’t wait to take off a meet suit right after my events.
I know I’m not the only one thinking it, but I won’t be the first to say it.

I’ll do it. SwimIt, you may need therapy.

MemberWhen I said try wearing one at home, I meant just put it on to see that it’s comfortable then take it off again, because I doubt you’ll try wearing one at a pool.
I didn’t mean that I wear it at home like pajamas. I maintain that it’s comfortable, hardly something that requires therapy. I guess if I wore it around the house it’d be therapy time! As it stands, I don’t wear it round the house!

MemberPoor SwimIt. People seem to have been a bit harsh.
If I for some reason owned a female swimsuit I’d try it on just so I could actually give an opinion to you based on fact rather then based on preconceived ideas.
No chance I’d wear it at a pool, but if it fits you better then why not? People get ridiculed for wearing trunks instead of shorts when their at school usually, so don’t fret too much over people laughing.

MemberOk, since none of us have an extra women’s suit laying around to look at (or try on, the those of you who are more adventurous), go find a picture of a women’s suit. look at the way the suit is cut around the groin and hip area. Enough said.

Memberwhat a wierd thread…
In the interest of … something, I’m going to wear a female swimsuit for a day, SwimIt! Perhaps I’ll see your side of things… then again, maybe it’ll just serve to back up what I expect…
I’ll get back to you after!

MemberMe again.
I’ve got a swimsuit on now…
It’s an odd feeling, but then so is wearing shoes after only wearing trainers for a year. Already I can say that I’ll never wear it at a pool.
I’m going to keep it on for a while to get used to it and see what I think then.

MemberSorry for the delayed response.
Once I got used to wearing the swimsuit it felt ok. (most importantly, once I got over the fact that it was a female suit it just felt normal) I’d not wear it instead of trunks and i’d not wear it at a pool but there’s nothing wrong with the feel or the fit.

Oh, and what is a “quid”?

MemberQuid = British slang for “pound” (the money, not the weight). As in, “that bugger owes me 5 quid for that kebab.”
(Translation: that “jerk” owes me 5 pounds ($10 American) for that greasy, delicious meat-like meal”)

MemberActually I did something similar years ago: I turned up at a pool and bought a swimsuit there. I asked for just a plain black and the age I wnated. When I was getting changed I took it out its sealed pack only to find I had been given a female one… for some reason I thought it’d be more embarrising to go back and explain the mistake than to just wear the thing… I wore it and I got some looks but such things have never bothered me. Like SWimIt I found it really comfortable and I’ve often worn it at the pool since. I actually find it so comfortable that I do sometimes were it at home…right now actually- not very often but, yeah.
