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?

I think so. I'm 5'6 and 145 and the large is fine. I prefer loose fitting shorts.

Mine are a little shorter than I usually like. They stop right at the knees and I would like them to go just a little past. But since they are really meant to be tactical it makes sense that they would allow for better running and such. I think the length is proportional to the waist number.

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.

yeah they are very long, they are almost see through though, so dont plan on wearing them as primary shorts.

Well I would say they are as stretchy as the usual adult cycling shorts, the material is somewhat thick and it is a proper cycling short not of those cheap stretchy soft light shorts.

Yes, there are elastic sections around the waist. But, if you wear a belt, which is not really necessary, it gives a more "dressed" or "finished" look. My only squawk about them is that the pockets are not as large or deep as another brand I have. They are also cut a little bit trimmer than my other ones probably to give a more stylish, less utilitarian look. Still, they are terrific for the price.

The shorts are not a very thin nylon but is a 100% polyester material with a 100% nylon mesh lining. Also has a back pocket that zips. If you are looking for a nice looking, comfortable pair of shorts, you can't beat them.

They do fit below the waist, not super low though. I think it's a nice comfortable fit.

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!

My opinion is that they are much better thn my previous shorts. I might add that I have had a gel pad set cover for years - if you don't have one I suggest that you try it.

No, they fit right below natural waistline. I love these pants/shorts, although I did listen to previous reviews and ordered 2 sizes up.

A few inches above the knees. They are a little bit longer than standard shorts.

I'm a 36" waist and the shorts fit me just fine. I have a trim physique so I'm not sure if that would matter.

They do fit just slightly below the waist but are not like hip huggers. I found them very comfortable (I do not like high waisted pants_. to be more specific, although they do sit below the natural waist line they are not anything that is going to expose your rear when you bend down.

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