Men's Swimwear Size Guide — How to Find Your Perfect Fit
By GODO Swimwear | Bold Men's Swimwear Designed in Belgium
Quick answer: For men's minimal swimwear — thongs, briefs, bikinis and G-strings — measure your waist and hips, then compare to the brand's size chart. If you're between sizes, size up for briefs and bikinis and size down for thongs and G-strings for a closer, more supportive fit.
Getting the right size in men's minimal swimwear is everything. A thong that's too small is uncomfortable and unflattering. A brief that's too loose looks wrong. But when the fit is right? You look and feel exactly as confident as you should.
This guide walks you through exactly how to find your perfect fit in GODO swimwear.
How to Measure Yourself
For men's minimal swimwear, two measurements matter:
1. Waist
Measure around your natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
2. Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat. This is the most important measurement for thongs and briefs.
Use a flexible measuring tape. If you don't have one, use a piece of string and measure it against a ruler.

Sizing Tips by Style
Each style fits a little differently. As a general rule: size down for thongs and G-strings — they're designed to fit close to the body and a snugger fit gives better support. Size up for briefs, bikinis and sungas — they offer more coverage and a little extra room ensures comfort without losing shape. Bodysuits run true to size; if you have a broader chest, size up.
