Men wanting to top up their tan wearing Speedos this summer should think again.

Some 98 per cent of British women say they would not want their man anywhere near the bulge-bearing swimming gear, according to a new poll by travel agency On The Beach.

Swim shorts were the preferred option for 70 per cent of women polled, with 13 per cent saying opting for a more tight-fitting pair of brief shorts.

Cringeworthy: They might help you get a good tan, but that's where the positives end with Speedos

Keeping covered: Two per cent of men quizzed would prefer their women to wear a kaftan

But three quarters of men surveyed like to see their women flashing the flesh in a bikini, while 13 per cent would rather their other half in a tankini.

Two per cent of men even say they would prefer their girl to cover up in a kaftan.

The survey also revealed the majority of women (71 per cent) are happy to go with the natural look by not wearing any make-up on the beach but three per cent like to stick to their usual 'make-up routine'.

However, 24 per cent of British women admit they are less likely to wear suncream on the beach if they are wearing make-up.

Winner: Most men like to see their women flaunt their figures in a bikini on the beach

Too revealing: Speedos were voted the least favourite thing women like men to wear on the beach

The majority of guys (68 per cent) say they always use SPF on holiday, with 13 per cent saying they use a tanning oil. However, nine per cent admit to never using any form of sun protection during their holiday.

Alistair Daly, Chief Marketing Officer at On the Beach, said: 'We often see pictures of celebrity men wearing tight-fitting Speedos on holiday but our survey suggests that girls are not keen on their partners doing the same.

'It is a concern that some people don't wear any form of sun protection. Whilst we all enjoy relaxing on the beach, trying to get that all important tan, everyone should make sure they are using the correct sun protection.'
