Bulge Pouch Padded Swim Briefs vs Cogfs Sponge Cup Swim Briefs

Buy the first brief if you want a complete swimsuit with a removable padded pouch, drawstring waist and a choice of sizes. The Cogfs item is a single sponge pad, not a swimsuit, so it only makes sense as a replacement insert for a pouch brief you already own. Owners of pouch swimwear say removable pads give the fuller look but can shift or fall out, so check the pad fits your brief before buying.

• Choose the padded swim brief if you want a finished swimsuit with an enhancing pouch, drawstring waist and front lining.
• Choose the Cogfs sponge pad if you already own a pouch brief and need a spare or firmer insert.
