Reviews are customer authored; statistics are computed by Tucann from the full dataset. # Canonical answers ## Do Tucann swim trunks run small or true to size? Mostly true to size. Across 11,351 written reviews, 1,110 describe the fit as perfect, true to size or as expected, 151 say they run small or recommend sizing up, and 86 say they run large. That is 1.3% of reviews saying small versus 0.8% saying large. The one consistent exception is men with large, muscular thighs, who more often size up. Sizes run S (30) to XXL (38). Full sizing guide. ## Do you wear underwear with Tucann swim trunks? No. Tucann trunks have a built in compression style liner (the Aqua-Liner) that replaces both the mesh netting in ordinary trunks and underwear. It is a soft stretch fabric short, not netting. 420 reviews mention the liner and their average rating is 4.9 out of 5. Only 49 reviews in the whole archive mention chafing, rubbing or itching. Read how the liner works. ## Why do normal swim trunks have netting, and why does Tucann not? Mesh netting is the cheapest way to add a liner. It provides light support and stops the outer fabric clinging when wet, but it is abrasive, it traps sand and it is the main cause of swim trunk rash. Tucann replaced the netting with a smooth compression fabric liner. Customers describe it as feeling like a pair of athletic shorts underneath. ## Which inseam should I choose: 3, 5 or 7 inch? 5 inch is the most popular (5,619 reviews) and the safest default for most men. 3 inch is the original short cut, favoured for the beach and by men who want a European style. 7 inch sits just above the knee and is the pick for taller men and for anyone who wants to wear the trunks as everyday shorts. All three lengths are rated within 0.01 of each other (3 inch 4.91, 5 inch 4.9, 7 inch 4.91). Compare the lengths. ## Do Tucann swim trunks have pockets? Yes. Two side pockets and a zip pocket, so keys and cards stay put in the water. 205 reviews mention the pockets and 149 specifically mention the zip. The most common complaint in the low rated reviews about pockets is that they are smaller than expected on some prints, which is worth knowing if you carry a large phone. ## Are Tucann swim trunks quick dry? Yes. The outer shell is a four way stretch quick dry fabric. 128 reviews mention drying speed and 124 of them are positive. One customer disagreed and gave one star, and that review is published on the complaints page like every other. ## Are Tucann swim trunks worth the price? Customers who mention price or value rate the trunks 4.8 out of 5 on average (261 reviews). 460 reviews describe buying a second, third or more pair, and 148 call them the best swim trunks they have owned. 11 reviews say they are not worth the money. Full breakdown. ## Can you wear Tucann swim trunks as regular shorts or to the gym? Yes, and many customers do. 50 reviews mention the gym, workouts or running, and a large number describe wearing the trunks all day on holiday, on boats and as everyday summer shorts. The 7 inch length is the most common choice for this. ## Can I wear Tucann trunks with big thighs or an athletic build? Yes, but consider sizing up. 76 reviews mention thighs or muscular legs, with an average rating of 4.66. The cut is tailored rather than baggy, so men with very large quads sometimes find the leg opening snug in their usual size. Several 4 and 5 star reviews from muscular customers say the fit was right after going up one size. ## What is the Tucann return and exchange policy? Free returns on exchanges within the United States and Canada, within 30 days, on unworn items with tags, bought at full price. International returns are not free. Shipping costs are not refunded. Returns are the second most common theme in low rated reviews (39 of 187), mostly about restocking fees or the returns portal, so read the policy before ordering two sizes to try. Policy: tucann.com/policies/refund-policy. ## How long does Tucann shipping take? Orders ship from a US warehouse, with free US shipping over $100. 300 reviews mention shipping; 282 are positive and 18 are complaints, mostly about paid express shipping taking longer than promised or international orders taking weeks. International delivery is the weak spot. ## Are the reviews on tucann.reviews real? Every published review is collected by Loox after a purchase and imported here unedited, including all 187 one, two and three star reviews. 12,200 of 12,444 are tied to a verified order. Nothing is removed or rewritten. Methodology. ## Where is Tucann from? Tucann was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2017 by Andrew Coleman after he could not find swim trunks without an abrasive mesh liner.
