Do these neoprene shorts appear less revealing (more conservative) for a man than typical swim shorts of the same leg length and waist height?

They are longer and more fitted as they hug the leg about 4" above the knee. Yes I would say they are more conservative. I use them for jet skiing and love them. They eliminate sliding around on the seat and protect the thighs from pinching when riding over waves. Hope this helps.

They are conservative, I paddle with two men and they love them. I am a size 12 women and I got med. I should have gotten small.

I felt these pants as being somewhat feminine. There is no cup for a man. I like them because they shape the more mature woman who has list her girly figure

NeoSport XSPAN shorts for me are worn with a 0.5 mm long sleeve top. I wear them for warm water SCUBA. What's to reveal? They fit almost like a second skin! Are you serious?

When I received these "waist high" they were big enough to wear as chest waders!! I ordered size large and I have a 38" waist and inseam is 34". I would guess that they would fit you pretty well. They aren't the prettiest but there light and don't leak.

I used the chart, there was a link. I prefer close fit, as sand does still get in and when swimming I don't want to feel them flopping and they are a nice thin stretchy material.

The length is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like shorts that cover most of my thighs, rather than booty shorts, so I really like these. (As for size, I'd say either large or extra-large. It depends on how you're built.)

I guess it depends on how much flab you have to hold in. I bought these to use for swim shorts and I think they do pretty well at holding stomach in and thighs look slimmer. Of course the top comes down over some. I bought 2x even though I wear size 18 cause I did not want them so skin tight I couldn't get them on. They work fine.

The size chart can be vague. However, because the shorts are labeled as "boys", I went ahead and ordered medium for my 8 year old. He's a bit on the taller side, but the size seems to work fine. A side note about these shorts: The color is not what you see in the picture, at least for the graphite black. They're more of a metallic silver. Almost has a bit of that sparkle to it. You'd think they were disco shorts or something. In addition, the material is very thin, especially the side stripe. For kids, I personally prefer PUMA shorts. Hope this helps.

No, Lynn. They look like the original women's menstruation pads before the industry made so many sizes. Same thickness. You pull off paper and the underneath sticks to men's jockey shorts. Boxer shorts will not work. Using both the regular Depend pullups and the pad would be quite bulky. I think the pullups remind a man of diapers. It is bad enough that you have this kind of problem, but I think the stick on pad is more dignified, and you don't notice the pad when the man wears jockey shorts. I would bet a woman could wear this also but at a different location.

The only issue I see, is that they have sizes for the mesh that sits on your back and they are in male sizing. Go to osprey's website they have a ton of info about fitting

I clicked yes thinking it was for, yes, I'll answer the question. My real answer if the shorts ride up is -No. I have two pairs and have had no issues. This is a comfortable short.

I believe you will be fine. I don't think they are as compressive as cycling shorts, but they are on that order. By the way there isn't a lot of padding so the look is more natural and flattering.

Brian I know nothing about the neoprene one. I would expect that it may be the same. I had asked around about kids life jackets / beginning to swim type and was told about the Speedo one. I am very please with this one and had no problems with my grandson wearing it. He had a different one that was bulky, like the life jackets you see on boats and hated wearing it as it rubbed him under his arms and on the side of his face as it rode up on him. Got him this one and absolutely NO COMPLAINTS about wearing it. I got the 30-50 lbs one and he is six years old. He is small for his age, but anything bigger would not have worked it would have had to be returned as it would have defeated the purpose because it would have been too big. He is still wearing it this year. Hope this helps.

The are flat front not pleaded. I think they are more classic not straight. They give your thighs breathing room, and the do not tapper at the ankles. I'm 46 and not buying anything straight fit. I hope this helps

Yes. I tuck them into my shorts when I run. They do ride up if you're running or very active but I doubt that will be an issue if you're in a suit.

No, but there are elastic insets on the sides which help the shorts to fit well without looking at all like an elastic waistband.

Well, my husband is twice his age, but the option was his to wear the depends. To me, they just look like underwear, especially the real fit blues and grays. Good luck and God Bless you both.

Yes, but I am short and they will come almost up to the waist. They are very comfortable. If you are asking if they are hip-huggers, the answer is no.

All wetsuits give a bit of buoyancy, if they are made of neoprene. A full suit 4 mm suit floats me entirely. my legs float up so it is hard to swim. With thin shorts, your butt will ride higher in the water when you swim. But NO THE SHORTS WILL NOT FLOAT WHOLE BODY. they might help your stroke if you have a heavy butt, though!
