Help DH won't wear speedos but going to France!

Taking DCs to Disney land Paris in May. DH has severe body dysmorphia and getting clothes that he will wear is a nightmare as he genuinely hates the way he looks (there's absolutely nothing wrong with the way he looks but it's not as easy as just telling him that!)

So I've recently found out about the law in France about all men and boys having to wear speedos when swimming. We aren't staying at Disney we are staying at the centre parks so we definitely plan on going swimming. He's point blank refusing to wear them which I do completely understand as he will worry about it every hour until we go. However if he doesn't go then non of us can go in as Dc are small and can't swim without help and I can't help both on my own. Is there a speedo alternative that's a bit more body forgiving that I could suggest to him?

No I agree, I was picking up on the "including the local town pool" part of your comment. That's the one place you can absolutely guarantee the rule will be enforced. With private pools there's really no way of knowing so it's best to be prepared.

Still can't believe how many people are suggesting wearing board shorts on top of Speedos.

🤔

Agreed - incomprehensible!
