Mine seems to be comfortable and not too revealing.  I find that when I first put it on, I can situate everything so that nothing shows.  But after a while, things start to shift around.  Adjust if you want, but shifting is inevitable.

Thanks..yes the suit seams to have less padding at the fron than bike knicks...guess it is like that so that it can be used for swimming

Yes, the chamois is definitely smaller than traditional bike shorts.  If you feel self-conscious during a race, you could probably wear your racebelt/number in the front to give yourself some cover.  I think that it is just generally excepted that those things happen during races.

I just take a quick dip in cold water before I don the suit.
Problem solved.

Don't sweat it. approximately 55% of the field at any race will have the same issue.

One word of warning.  Limit the use of your trishorts in chlorinated pools.  It will really wear out the shorts, and THEN you will be putting on a show.

Don't sweat it. approximately 55% of the field at any race will have the same issue.

And a good percentage of that number will have used a shoe horn to get into their tri kit.  It's not an issue that you alone will be dealing with, so it's not an issue.  You will be so focused on your race that the thought of what other people are thinking of will not even cross your mind.

Commando is NOT NOT NOT the way to go! Aside from the chafing issues, you'll look like a dweeb when everyone sees your VPL (Visible Panty Lines) and knows that you are the newb that didn't know that you are supposed to go commando under trishorts.

Is that a triple negative?

Sorry, no advice, but just a kindred soul. When I wear mine, it's always "3 o'clock" if you know what I mean....

(My penis is at 3 oclock. Oh, I didn't need to explain it? Sorry. )

  Is that "3 o'clock" from your perspective, or from the viewers?

             not that I would be a viewer

Have you put on a wetsuit yet?  That may be even more interesting.
