Buyer's guide
3 inch inseam swim trunks.
The short cut. 3,131 reviews on who wears it and why.
Choose the 3 inch if you want a European cut, you are under 5 foot 8, or you run in your trunks. Otherwise start with the 5 inch. The 3 inch is the shortest length made and the one that started the brand. It sits mid thigh, tans the leg and reads unmistakably as swimwear, in a good way. 3,131 reviews are for the 3 inch, 94% five star. It is the pick for men who want a European look, for shorter men who find 5 inch hits the knee, and for runners who train in their trunks.

took this bad boys on my cruise and not only did I love them, but the girls did too!!!! excellent quality and the style its dope. will be ordering few pairs for the summer for sure.
I wish the lining was tighter, especially on the 3" shorts (I also have a pair of the 5"). I worry about exposure on the 3", and unfortunately feel inclined to wear secondary underwear.
Hi, I LOVE the trunks but they are too big for me despite having looked up the size chart online. When I have something in my pocket I lose them. But great trunks overall
Online sites make lots of promises but pumped that Tucann delivers on theirs...the fabric, pockets and stretch are as good as they say! The trunks are amazing....already picking out my next pair!!

Every one to three star review in this group, unedited.
had to pay for shipping twice 1st order never made it to me. they feel like great quality but hold tons of water and they don't sit down on the waist. they tend to sit just below the belly. I think they're great for slim straight build. im 5-8 185lb muscular build and don't think I'll be able to use these. I was hoping to have found something new and get a few different colors but don't thinks so after wearing them. I used in .y hot tub last night and wrung them out and their still wet this morn...
Fit and look is very good. Found loose thread in the right pocket which will be a problem in time no doubt. Company states fast drying. The outer part of the trunks dries quickly. The inner stays wet a very long time and the support is marginally acceptable. Better off with mesh that the company actually criticizes. Maybe I’d pay $50 for this bathing suit, but the almost $100 that I paid is not worth it.
Would rate higher as the suit is great. Problem is their return policy. I ordered an L and XL to try out which fit, since I didn’t have time to exchange before a trip. The L was perfect so reached out to return the XL. Return requires a photo (?), paying for the shipping, and a 20% restocking fee for a new unworn swimsuit. Would not buy from again.
Frequently asked questions
Is 3 inch too short?
It is short by design. If you are over 6 foot or want to wear them to lunch, choose 5 inch. If you want the tan and the look, 3 inch is correct.
Who buys the 3 inch?
Shorter men, athletic builds, and men who already own the 5 inch and want a beach only pair. Several reviews describe owning both.
Does it ride up?
The compression liner keeps everything in place. The reviews that mention riding up are about mesh trunks the customer owned before.
