Gay bikini

When we are headed to the local family beach down the road in Cyprus, we're obviously not going to rock up there with tight-fitting Speedos! It's worth checking out if nothing else in this article has taken your fancy.

The Speedos on offer at Garçon Français are simple and classy – no bright patterns or crazy designs here.

HOM

Another swimwear/underwear brand originating in France?

It's literally a piece of material barely covering your bulge and then a small string holding it together that goes up your crack to reveal your booty to the world. Seby's favorite is the cheeky bikini that features a banana on the bulge! If like me, you work hard on your squat game to develop that bubble butt, then Andrew Christian swimwear is your friend!

We're also 100% behind all the provocative Andrew Christian advertising videos that feature smoking-hot models showing off his range of swim shorts, trunks, bikinis, boykinis… Most importantly we LOVE Andrew Christian's dedication to LGBTQ rights.

Trust us, when you're based in a random place like Cyprus, this is a blessing! Whether you're looking for daring, low-rise swim briefs, athletic jammers, or relaxed and roomy swim trunks, we've got it all. However, unlike Barcode Berlin, Code 22 swimwear is more low-key!

Swimwear brands that we've either not yet tried or do not have photos of us wearing them (yet):

Andrew Christian

What we love most about Andrew Christian is the man himself.

Obviously, take care to avoid counterfeits and ensure you only shop on trusted websites, like the ones we share below.

Our other hot tip – if you’re specifically looking for branded hot swimwear, Inderwear offers a wide selection of well-known popular gay brands such as Armani, Balboa, and Addicted, all in one place with round-the-world shipping.

For something a little more conservative, we love their briefs, especially the Navy and Pattaya designs.

JJ Malibu

Don’t be fooled by the name – JJ Malibu is actually a gay brand from Canada. He's built his own famous gay clothing brand around his name – going strong since 1997. Depending on the style, they'll cover half or even most of your thigh – but you get the idea.

Our collection of gay swimwear is designed to make a splash and turn heads wherever you go. Show off your confidence and enjoy free worldwide shipping with no minimum purchase. Just remember to apply sunscreen to your bits and bobs…a burnt botty is not the right type of pain you want going on down there!

Our favorite swimwear brands

After many many years of being proud out gay guys on the scene traveling the world, we've found a whole heap of excellent swimwear brands that show off the goods!

My favorite JJ Malibu Bikini is the one with kiss lips on the front. He said that growing up as a young gay boy in Lyon, all the cool hot gay kids got their undergarments from TOF – always made me giggle because a TOF in the UK is a nickname for an aristocrat who exudes an air of superiority…

We love TOF's cute line of shorts, thongs, and crop tops in navy sailor stripes.

This is the safe go-to pair we opt for – ie when we don't want to be on show! The longer shorts are called “Board Shorts” and are particularly fashionable in the US surfer-dude crowd.

• Trunks: swim trunks are what we like to think of as the perfect midpoint between shorts and Speedo briefs.

  Modus Vivendi is based in Greece's second city, Thessaloniki, but ships everywhere.

  We love their swimwear range. His dedication to charitable work in the LGBTQ community at one stage included offering free lube and condoms with every order!

  Nasty Pig

  We've got one inside of each of us just waiting to break out…right?

  It takes a lot of balls to pull off a thong – personally, I'm not a fan of them as it doesn't leave much to the imagination.

• Bodysuits or singlets:now we're entering the more daring arena! Swim bodysuits are ideal if you're attending a particular themed raunchy gay party. We love Garçon Français clothing but only recently stumbled on their swimwear range of Speedos, which is very small but growing.

  They have bold (and sexy) Speedo prints from every color under the sun.

  Born in East Berlin in 2009, Barcode is very much inspired by the uniqueness of Berlin.

  

  I first came across Pump! when a friend got me one of their underwear briefs, which I instantly fell in love with and wore to every hot date I had…

  For us, Pump! gives us sporty jock vibes, their range of clothing giving a youthful, sporty look.
