Gay guy speedo

Addicted ensures that whether you're doing laps or just lounging, you’ll be catching glances – especially with their Molded Swim Briefs. For the culturally savvy man, this brand offers a narrative alongside impeccable design. It’s playful, it’s cheeky, and it's absolutely delicious.

Barcode Berlin: Sporty Spice

It seems apt that sunny Spain has some of the best swimwear brands attributed to them.

That's around the time when I was bopping to the Spice Girls, All Saints, and TLC…

We've often met the man himself at various gay events – notably Puerto Vallarta Gay Pride, where he'll be featured as a guest judge on the panel of a Drag Race-style event.

We love the wide range of cuts, styles, colors, and patterns of Andrew Christian clothes.

With so many excellent gay clothing-optional beaches in the world, who needs a swimsuit at all? For something more daring, we recommend you check out their range of G-strings and thongs – trust us, they've got your back!

I was curious as to what SKU stood for – after much Googling I discovered it stands for “Stock Keeping Unit”…geddit?!

OLAF BENZ

Just like the Mercedes-Benz is a symbol of luxury in the car world, Olaf Benz is considered to be one of the most exclusive and high-quality underwear and swimwear brands. 

They also have a pretty varied range – including sober beach shorts, beach pants, briefs, some pretty out-there thongs, and a few pretty sassy body suits.

We'll be honest we've not yet tried any Olaf Benz swimwear but we include it after seeing several gay guys showing it off at the gay beaches in Barcelona.

Or is that just me?

Quite honestly, the name was enough to catch my eye. He believes bigger guys have had the bad end of the deal when it comes to swimwear—until now.

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. You know what I mean…that one time you woke up and said to yourself – “Now where can I get myself a cute pair of briefs with a print of a duck wearing a ball gag?” – now you know!

Duck print with a ball gag too much?

No trunks here—you’ll only find clinging briefs and thongs. Fashionable and unique, Kaftko is for those who view the beach as a runway, ensuring your fashion game is as strong as your swim game.

STUD: The Bold Adventurer

STUD swimwear from the US is for the man who's not afraid to explore new territories.

Let's be honest, you had me at “Kylie”…

Along with many different cuts, colors, and fun patterns, what we love the most is aussieBum's infamous “Wonderjock” – a fabric cup in jocks that’s designed to lift and enhance the Crown Jewels! Whilst we've not yet tried out any HOM clothing, it's on the list to check out on our next shopping spree.
