there are still some shorts sold by the same brand at walmart that come with a built in liner but most do not I remember seeing these types of swim shorts at a clearance store (gordmans if anyone has heard of it) and was surprised to see these same swim shorts at walmart....they are somewhat stylish looking, and DO NOT come with a built in liner....I know practically 99% of swim shorts I have seen and bought all had an inner brief liner (that I INSTANTLY cut out the second I got home) do you think this is becoming more common for swim shorts to be made without a liner as guys either find the inner mesh "briefs" liner unnecessary because they wear uw underneath or prefer no underwear? (although stupid some maybe wear boxers underneath)...Nate, these look like a pair of what passes these days as a pair of mens shorts.

Men’s square cut swimwear is a type of form-fitting male swimsuit that provides a little more coverage than traditional swim briefs for men but not quite as much coverage as men’s jammers. They’re a great compromise when you are looking for something a little less revealing, but without as much fabric as jammers. They are popular for use in activities like water polo and diving and also as recreational swimwear. Men’s square cut swimwear is also a top choice among competitive swimmers for pool training the world over. do you think this is becoming more common for swim shorts to be made without a liner as guys either find the inner mesh "briefs" liner unnecessary because they wear uw underneath or prefer no underwear?
