Gary Majdell Sport Mens Solid Contour Pouch Bikini Swimsuit

5'9" 220lbs. size 38 to 40 in most pants/shorts. As per the size chart, I ordered the XL As an older guy, I'm breaking all the unwritten social rules about us older, chunkier guys wearing revealing speedo type swimwear. It does take confidence knowing you are going to attract eyeballs. At my age, I don't care. I enjoy wearing this type of suit as opposed to longer, bulkier board shorts as it provides the best experience for me, both in and out of the water. It is so comfortable, you don't even feel like you are wearing a suit! Do I wish I had the body of the model in the photo? Sure. Do I wish I was taller, thinner, more hair on top and had a bigger unit? haha! Um,...yeah, but that's not going to happen. I can't control what other people think. What I can control is wearing what feels good, allows me to swim laps the easiest way possible and is super easy to care for. I swim at the local Y 3-4 times per week and I have noticed that I can swim longer, with less effort with this suit. That alone is a powerful incentive. At my age, I MUST exercise regularly, so getting the gear right helps so much. This suit has a nice liner in front, for modesty, but doesn't have a string to tighten the waist. They do slip down a bit when you first dive in, but not when pushing off the wall in flip-turns. The waist band is strong, but not death-grip tight. It is dense elastic which seems just right for the design. The material for the suit itself is stretchy, soft and not see-through. For me, the pouch is just right. I can comfortably point down, up or to the side. It covers the butt perfectly, leaving my crack covered, but just barely. This item is very well made and looks great! I really like these suits now and have bought 3 others. The maker has a fantastic line of mens suit designs in a fantastic variety of colors and patterns. I think these are fairly priced. I was paying $38 for my Speedo Endurance suits and these are about half that.

Ok, these are super nice. Went on a cruise with my wife and family to the Caribbean and wear the typical board shorts. Wife thought these looked super sexy, son was a little weired out but anyway. On 2 of our excursion wore these to the beach and it was so liberating and comfortable. I mean really it was nice, I'm 5'9" 185#, athletic build and have a pretty good body, the large fit perfect. I also tried size medium and while the fit was Ok, the large was more comfortable. They appear to be of high quality with good stitching, definitely not see through. Unfortunately , not sure I am daring enough to wear to the local pool, not sure why as they look great on me but the social norm in America is not there yet. If your considering some swim attire other then the board shorts that hand to your knees , give these a try, the Turquoise and the Royal blue look great !

Perfect fit. Bought another pair. Feel and trim is nice, good support and coverage.

This is my second pair of swim briefs from Gary Majdell. I like the price, quality, and cut of the swimwear. The front is lined so that gives a bit more modesty. As far as sizing, I've found Gary Majdell's swimwear to run a bit small, so I order 1 size larger that what I normally wear with my underwear and it fits perfectly. The thing about this material is that it's nylon & spandex, so it naturally hugs your body. If you try to wear a brief that's too tight, it won't be sexier. In fact, it will make you look heavier because it will squeeze your waist and give you a muffin top. So even though it sounds counterintuitive, ordering a slightly larger size makes me look slimmer and it's a more flattering cut than it would have been if I ordered my true size. Your mileage may vary, but that's what I've always found to be true with nylon swimwear, particularly this brand. Edit: I removed one star because this material is advertised as "quick drying," but it takes hours to dry. My other swimwear repels water and seems to dry very quickly out of the pool. This one seems to absorb it. I still love the briefs and will buy more from this brand in the future, but I don't feel the "quick drying" claim is accurate.

I purchased the army green camo in the XL size. I’m a solid 36” waist and am 5’10”, 215 lbs, and have a relatively big butt from lifting. The waist was a little tighter compared to the Aussiebum and Andrew Christian brands I typically wear. The coverage in the butt was ample but still a bit snug in the pouch for me. The cut is good though. I wore them one time to swim laps for 20 minutes in my swim spa. Despite the fact the waist is elastic and has no drawstring, they did stay on against the current while swimming freestyle. That being said, for aesthetics, I wish there was a draw string in lieu of elastic, that way they would not look like underwear as much and more a swim brief, but in the end a brief is a brief. Quality wise, not so impressed. After one wear swimming laps, the stitching from both the legs and waist started to come undone. In summation, you get what you pay for. I’ll stick to the Aussiebums and Andrew Christians.

I love these blue trunks my fav of all that I own they are stringless . My waist size in Levi and Wrangler jeans is 36. I ordered XL . Im kind of athletic built 65 years old and in good shape I weigh 205 lbs and 6 ft tall These fit perfect and very sexy. large would have been to small Also ordered the black contour ones in XL. They have a string and fit alot tighter but I like them also but not as much as these blue ones . I wear them under my reg trunks and use them when I want to soak some rays and tan.

These are great. The pouch cut is perfect they have a little more room in the front and that makes them more comfortable!!

I have ordered several bikini swimsuits on Amazon made by Gary Majdell and they have all been everything I had hoped for. I love the roomy pouch in the front that keeps my bulge in place and is very very flattering. They are so comfortable both in the water and while on land. It takes being a bit bold and confident to wear a bikini in America but it definitely gets attention, from the ladies and the fellas. The cut of the bikini is great as it's not too skimpy but revealing enough to be sexy. For anyone wanting to try breaking out of the box with swimwear, I highly recommend giving these a try!

I chose this item because I have bought this style of swimwear before, they are a nice fit and comfortable to wear

Good stuff, i usually but size S in underwear, but this one M was perfect. S would be too small.

Used them once and they turned yellow

None

Great!
