I bought these for running in the AZ desert. My GF claims they are transparent but I think they are more "suggestive." I do wear them outdoors but wear a long shirt that kind offers some discretion. They do keep you cool and provide enough support.
Pros
Just as the headline says, it was what I was looking for. A nice, cool short for the summer.
Cons
The design is not fashionable and lacks versatility
