Buyer's guide

Swim trunks for bigger guys.

44 reviews from XL and XXL buyers and men who call themselves big. What fits, what to size.

Customer photo from Osa J. wearing Striped Camo Red Swim Shorts - 3"

Up to a 39 inch waist these fit; size up if your thighs are big, and above 39 inches Tucann does not yet make your size. Sizes run S to XXL, 29 to 39 inch waist, with an elasticated back and a drawstring, so there is real range within each size. 44 reviews come from men who describe themselves as big, heavier or XXL. The honest read: 82% five star, a little under the site average, and the deductions are about the leg opening on large thighs and the fact that XXL is the largest size made. Size up on thighs, and if you are over a 39 inch waist these do not fit yet.

I am 265 lbs and it is so hard to find a good pair of shorts that fits well. These are so good that this is probably all I will buy now.

Great colors, I normally wear a large and the XXL is a comparable fit. Leg length is excellent, lining feels very comfortable.

XL typically fits me great, but I had to replace for a XXL. They defiantly run snug. Regardless, quality is great and customer service for the return was solid.

I noticed that I accidently ordered a medium when I needed a large but still they should work...just can't gain any weight:) around my taco belly.:)

Awesome product. I look sexy in these even for being a bigger guy! High quality, great design and color, and amazing fit. Thanks!!

Waist is 36 but the shorts are a little tight in the legs and ass. Not sure if the shorts would fit my waist if I went to the XXL

I love the color and style and I usually fit in XL but this one is too small. I need to return and get a 2XL. Please advise.

The other side

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...

Waste size was fine. Way too tight on the thighs. I am 6' 5" @ 230 lbs with an athletic build.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest size?
XXL, 37 to 39 inch waist. There is no 3XL at present.
Which length hides more?
7 inch. The extra length balances a bigger frame and gives the most coverage.
Do they cling when wet?
The shell is stretch fabric and the liner is fitted, so they do not bag out or cling the way woven trunks do. The reviews from bigger men mention comfort more than appearance.
