Ok, so i need a new bathing suit and found boardshorts. I noticed they can be worn in and out of water but i have a few ?'s. First, if they are worn for swimming, since they don't have a mesh underwear type thing does it make it easier for people to see your package? I don't wear underwear when swimming but idk how these should be worn. Am i supposed to wear them with underwear or boxers when i go swimming? i know when i am not i should wear underwear but idk about swimming. (i wear boxer briefs) here are two styles that i like. you tell me.

One has an inside mesh but not in the regular brief style of swimsuits but in a fully lined style.


I had a look at the 2 boardshorts, and both have a fully-lined inner mesh. Clearly, neither is meant to be worn with anything underneath. As to which one is better, it's up to you as to which style you feel more comfortable with. I'd go for a nylon boardshort rather than one with cotton) as it's more likely to dry quicker. Whether others will see your package depends on whether the material becomes see-thru when wet: neither looks to be in that category, so there should be no prbs in that respect.

Yeah, you'd want to wear boxers for either one to be safe and comfortable.

I prefer a speedo under my board shorts (if I'm going to be doing any water sports like wakeboarding- since falls can pull the shorts down- and they dry better). Otherwise, boxers / boxer-briefs are fine since not all shorts have the mesh to protect your skin from chaffing.

Best of luck!

Boardshorts were never intended to be used for actual swimming in a pool, and that's why they aren't generally lined.

In the ocean when you surf there can be a lot of problems with chaffing. So they don't put mesh around your package! Plus the water is dark and no one can see anything.

The most comfortable alternative is a "jammer" usually made by Speedo. They are a little tight but no one cares at the pool, you wont be flashing anyone, and they keep water from puffing up the legs of the garment. HTH. :)
