Anyone know where I can buy a swimsuit with a high rise? I'd like to find briefs.

I'm looking for something like the pictures.

Those are interesting! These are all the rage for woman now, so I would imagine that someone must make them for men. I'm afraid I can't help, as all the swimwear I know is mid-rise at best.

Costume supply?

I've never seen swim trunks with a belt before. Wow.

If you want super high rise like this these days, the closest thing I can think of is that shaping underwear that rises over your belly to pull it in.

You could check out freshpair.com. They have a huge selection of every type of underwear imaginable and they carry swim wear as well.

Are we talking Spanx for Men? LOL, it would take one hell of a pair of underwear to hide my spare tire! Do they offer anythingin a man girdle? Just sayin.

They do indeed make Spanx for men.

As for the swimsuit, I'd be surprised if anyone is manufacturing such a thing... probably quickest to just have it made (I assume a trailer can handle swimwear?)

LOL yes! They've been around for a while now. I could make use of a pair myself, but seems to me they would get mighty uncomfortable throughout the day.

And to the OP: sorry, I just checked and it doesn't look like my earlier suggestion has what you want. Everything is ultra ultra low rise as usual. I hope these guys don't dive in head first! 🤔

I think that these old images helped me to better understand why I find high-rise swim briefs unflattering, on both men and women: they just draw the eye completely to a giant mass in the middle of a person's body and make that part of the body look larger. They don't make the waist look any smaller. Unlike trousers that sit up at the waist, which lengthen the body by drawing a long line from the waist to the feet, these shorten the torso and the legs because they cut the legs off completely from the torso. These briefs are cutting the body into three disconnected masses. If they had some legs to them, even with just a 3-inch inseam, they would help to connect the legs to the torso and have a more flattering line that connects the body. As awkward as I find a speedo to be, I think they may actually be more flattering to a man than these large briefs are.

Some of them are the lowest rise I've ever seen. 😀

The reason I like the high rise is because my torso is much longer than my legs. My jeans have an 11.5 inch front rise, but people assume they are mid-rise. I think the rise that flatters a person in really dependant on their proportions.

Speaking from experience I can tell you that an an extra 10 pounds (over my fighting weight) could be successfully hidden by my high rise trousers. However, 45 excess pounds show, regardless of what I might try to do! Alas, I have been reduced to walking the starvation trail (read that as, the diet route) to address my problem. It's working, but it hurts! LOL. :crazy:
