What do you wear under your wetsuit?

Question

Ive got a rash vest but shorts wise?

Bordies look a bit big to cram in to a tight wetsuit

Thanks

Answer 1

Try cycling pants, they're tight enough so there isn't any baggyness. You can get them knee and ankle lengths.

Answer 2

Always a dilemma, Mick.

I teach water skiing in the UK, and just bung on knickers and a T-shirt under a shorty wetsuit.

To stop it rubbing against the bits and peices.

In the Med, it is just swimmy trunks.

No suit.

I have needed a dry suit to ski at Kirtons, one boxing day when the lake was solid, so wore a full evening dress, with cravat underneath, to march into the clubhouse and divest

after a bit of a slalom.

I know one bloke that has skied naked, with a burning pipe in his mouth. Great fun.

So I suppose it is down to the individual, no real rules apply.

Bob.

Answer 3

nothing

Answer 4

go commando in any suit

thats a surfing rule by the way

Answer 5

I have tried Calvin Kleins,and they work well;you can get vests in that style as well.Have fun!!

Answer 6

I use tighter shorts - not trunks they go up your crack, but tight swimming shorts.

Answer 7

I would wear theat slinky off the shoulder number you normally wear but this time put in the sequins, killer slingbacks and that Rita Hayowrth wig that sets off your eyes

Answer 8

i'd wear old underwear. i got an old set that's still elastic and a new set. using the new set would wear it down faster so i wear old sets.

Answer 9

Your birthday suit?

Answer 10

go commando or if you must wear spandex .

Answer 11

I use lycra biker shorts. You can get them at Wally world for under ten bucks. You can also use the tight lycra work-out shirt if you don't like the neoprene wetsuit against your torso either. It really does help to wear something under your wetsuit if you rent, share, or change in the parking lot! Good luck!

Answer 12

I always go commando when I'm diving in a wet suit. However I usually recommend my students wear something under the rental suits. Under Armour shorts work wonders, they don't ride up your crack or bunch up under the suit and they dry really fast. However if your on a public boat they might be a little too tight for the other passengers liking.

Answer 13

ab-so-lute-ly NOTHIN, baby!!!!!

Answer 14

I always were swimming shorts underneath but i do hear of people complaining about them.

I would not be worried about cammando if you wash it before and after I know people who wear big swimming shorts over the suit that would slove the holes problem.

Answer 15

i free ball but sometimes i wear spandex and an under armor keeps the package from rubbing ;)

Answer 16

I just wear lightweight shorts.

Answer 17

lycra shorts.....and a rashie...they help against chaffing on long sessions.

Answer 18

Well i use a wetsuit alot and as everyone knows commando is the best but like other people have said if its a rental which often has holes in it then just wear boxers, (but like briefs, you know the ones with elastic on- trunks thats it ) or your normal underwear. also briefs (like proper undepants would work well), or as some people might like speedos[underpants style swimwear] (i personally havent tried it)I wouldnt reccoment wearing loose or silk boxers though. Or alternatively i spose you could try bike shorts but ive never tried it, i could imagine it being constricting but you never know. By the way i dont think a rashie (rash vest) is needed even if its rental, i mean the wetsuit is washed (well in a bucket) so it shouldnt be bad at all, a rashies fine but could get a bit uncomfortable. Oh yeah boardies in a wetsuit would be bide, it would ride up and with sand and salt water not good.

Good luck for your trip and i hope you enjoy it.

Answer 19

I just wear regular swim suit under mine...wanna see?

Answer 20

ps. i'm talking about tighty whities.

Answer 21

break out the SpEeDo! haha thats hott.

Answer 22

Well when I go on dive boats, I wear my bathing suit under my wetsuit, always a one piece, I don't recommend bikinis under wetsuits. But of course if you're male, then you obvioulsy can't do this. My brother wears a speedo under his and just puts shorts on over them when he takes his wetsuit off after a dive. You could try jammers too, they are like a speedo but with legs. Like really tight shorts.

I would definitly recommend a speedo though.

Hope this helped!!
