I must say, I have never noticed this.

dud. however, men's swimsuits with mesh lining == gross and dud.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Monday, 10 July 2006 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

I imagine it feels humiliating and odd. I also dislike the T-shirt over a swimsuit gambit, which my mom always made me do growing up. Is is like swimming while stuffed in a giant envelope.

what cave do I live in to be totally unaware of this trend?

Swimsuits with mesh lining = classic, surely? Prevents unsightly falling out moments.

it all DEPENDS

that's what electrical tape is for

I have certainly never seen this. Surely it is senseless?

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 10 July 2006 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

Certainly you meant duct tape

― Rev. PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie 2), Monday, 10 July 2006 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

Abbott, why did your mom make you wear the t-shirt over your swimsuit? I assumed people did this because they felt self-conscious about wearing swimsuits in public, but I can't imagine why one would be forced to.

i HATE mesh bathing suit built-in underwear. so much. in fact i was wearing a bathing suit saturday night as part of a costume for a costume party and it was giving me such a wedgie i had to get changed in the bathroom and cut out the mesh with scissors so i could wear normal boxers underneath. and i was drunk.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 10 July 2006 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

jaymc: my aunt used to do this so that we didn't get sunburned. In Scotland. Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha ha heh.

OMG, where is that mesh today?!?!

IT'S CALLING FROM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 10 July 2006 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

Scissors and drunk and crotch don't sound like a great combination.

― Looking through pattern skies (papa november), Monday, 10 July 2006 22:56 (nineteen years ago)

you'd think right?!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 10 July 2006 22:58 (nineteen years ago)

that sounds forlorn. was the bathroom painted a dull shade of green? were there rust specks on the scissors? did you look into the mirror and drunkly laugh, then decide you didn't care for anyone at the party, least of all yourself?

― estela (estela), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:12 (nineteen years ago)

it is cold and i have pms.

― estela (estela), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:15 (nineteen years ago)

no it was all good!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

mesh doesn't provide woody protection

I don't enter the water for any type of recreation anyway. Only bathing and drowning. I don't even own any swim trunks.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

I have progeny that did this. Was it the need to be as different as possible from nude-beach-going parents? Freeballiphobia? Sheesh. Thing 'o the past now, though, as they've both sworn off the beach altogether. That seaside workingclass point of pride crap. NEVER WENT ONCE LAST SUMMER. Oh YEAH??? I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THREE YEARS!!!
I should talk. Haven't been in the water yet.

I wore tshirts over my swimmers a lot, esp in teenage years. I was erm, rather underdeveloped, skinny and shapeless shall we say - and as I lived in a reasonably small rural city, when you went to the pool on a summer afternoon or weekend day, you knew everyone there. It didn't exactly make my day when some kid from my class pointed at me Nelson-style and shouted "WhY ARE YOU WEARING A BIKINI? YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PUT IN IT AHAHAHAHA!"

Hence tshirts from then on. And one-piece suits. No more bikinis for me.

At least I've never had a lot of tan/sunburn as a result, and have good skin!

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:26 (nineteen years ago)

slocki's mesh merriment!

― estela (estela), Monday, 10 July 2006 23:28 (nineteen years ago)

Dearest jaymc, my mom made me wear a t-shirt in swim pools becuase she was nuts and took the Mormon dictum of "dress modestly" to insane (but thankfully sub-Amish) proportions. Like some big-headed eight-yr-old girl would give the world an uncontrollable boner were she to wear a regular one-piece swimsuit. Not only that, but it was always one of my dad's size XL shirts for some reason.

I think this is a main reason I didn't learn to swim very well until I was 19...I quit swimming at age 11 or 12 because I was so sick of my mom yelling at me about the goddamn t-shirt and all the accompanying arguments.

― Abbott (Abbott), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 00:39 (nineteen years ago)

On a related tangent, at Jeff I guess since he brought it up, are pool boners a problem for guys? Seinfeld lead me to believe penile swimming woes were all shrinkage related.

― Abbott (Abbott), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 00:41 (nineteen years ago)

dear abbott, i had a loony religious mother too, they are a menace, love estela.

― estela (estela), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

Underwear would just get in the way of peeing in the pool.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 01:24 (nineteen years ago)

dud
they look all baggy and really if there swimming trunks are ok why bother

― panda may (panda_may), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 01:51 (nineteen years ago)

Is that guy wearing underpants over his underpants!?
-- Trayce (spamspanke...), July 9th, 2006. (later)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it is just an excessively large waistband. Or, yes, he is wearing 2 sets of underpants. How peculiar.

The underpants are a backup In Case of Emergency

― Hard like armour (Hard like armour), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 02:57 (nineteen years ago)

Women who don't keep their underwear when they try on bathing suits at shops are a super disgusting dud.

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 03:22 (nineteen years ago)

don't they have like a piece of tape or something on the bottom of the bathing suits at stores? to keep them clean? not that i would know, i don't try on bathing suits.

― candice (divifold), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 04:50 (nineteen years ago)

one year passes...

i did the t-shirt in the pool thing as a kid too because of sunburn fearz. i don't really get the hate of the mesh thing in the swim trunks

― gershy, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 04:59 (eighteen years ago)

Dude, you are so making that up. NOONE does this.

― stevienixed, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 07:01 (eighteen years ago)

i thought you approved of make believe posts

― gershy, Wednesday, 9 April 2008 07:05 (eighteen years ago)

Making what up, the underwear or the t-shirt? I did both, sometimes, as a kid.

― Casuistry, Thursday, 10 April 2008 05:03 (eighteen years ago)

but you'd get your undies wet! I don't understand.

― S-, Thursday, 10 April 2008 06:31 (eighteen years ago)

My trunks are as skimpy as my underwear however I can walk around the (unisex) changing rooms in my trunks fine, however once in my underwear no dice.
