What do you wear under your wetsuit when diving?

I have tried wearing a swimsuit but I don't like the way it bunches up. I have gone commando but I can't just change anywhere when I do that.

Have anyone tried Under Armor compression underwear?

What do you wear?

Boardies and a rash vest. It's fine.

speedo.

Yup, Speedo.

Speedos don’t bunch up, since there isn’t much material there to bunch. Commando can cause some really unpleasant abrasion issues. Personal experience and Navy studies indicates that the insulation qualities of a really good fitting wetsuit are compromised by wearing any fabric under it, including suit lining.

When the suit does not fit perfectly is when wearing something under it to reduce water circulation and abrasion is useful. Unfortunately, a perfect fit in the crotch is pretty difficult to archive.

Nothing has the best results. When that isn't possible a pair of compression shorts work nicely. Think a boxer brief version of a Speedo.

nothing or compression shorts
Depends on if I remember said compression shorts or have to change around other people. Prefer nothing though

I use a normal surfing rash vest !

Well, I wear the standard baggy swim trunks, but I think that bike shorts is an excellent solution for the problem.
