The Tomsports site has has lots of briefs in the TRUE 1" sides category, but they're all expensive. Stuff that is sold out is still on display for months and months. I don't get it. I've been getting most of my suits lately on ebay from the hotbodsswimmer store and another store I've found, winkkhom...

Oohh yeah, happened a lot. I've also swapped out various drawcords into various speedos that I liked. If the cord has a plastic sleeve on the tip, like a new shoelace, usually it's not too hard to manipulate the end along--push the tip foward, grab the tip through the fabric and pull the fabric back...

There's a new one of Saylor in the last few days. There's no containing that amazing backside in a swimsuit.

From the vintage video--I had a speedo with the same vertical-stars pattern as that one suit.

For me it's all about the lap swimming mentality- this is what you wear for swimming laps, wearing anything else is wrong and not appropriate. Own it, and no one cares. Exactly. At one of my outdoor pools this summer, after a workout I would lounge in my brief, getting some sun. It's a perfect situ...

I found a few in the locker room last 'n' found bin. None were in very good shape, but if it was still not see-thru, a washing and, what the heck, I'll get some mileage out of them. They were serviceable, but none were a style I would've bought myself.

Ah yes, the JCPenny summer catalog. I remember fondly waiting for it to check out the junior swimwear. I still recall the trio of ladies in the 1st post, had to be '75 or '76. I had never seen bikinis before, at least where I could give them a close examination. I couldn't believe how much skin was ...

I've seen similar news bites on various outlets, although some have been framed in a less than positive light. "Speedos are in again? Eww..." Portly 60yo reporters will just have to deal...and maybe be inspired to get in a little better shape!

And another thing--what is with girls wearing their bottoms so high? They're constantly yanking on the sides to keep them up, because Heaven forbid they slip below their rib cage. I loved the look from 15 years ago when they were wearing bottoms as low as possible. Beach volleyball players still wea...

The first sign of wear for me is thinning of the fabric in the center rear and sometimes in front. A few more swims and they usually get canned at the gym. Yes, a bummer, especially if it's a favorite, great looking suit, but then I think about buying its replacement. Like the mobsters say, nothing ...

Always a bit suspicious when someone appears from nowhere and then disappears suddenly! That's the only way he conducts himself--submits an expansive post with questionable photos that raise these same concerns, then disappears, never returning to explain himself after these issues are brought up. ...

Check out YT for PAC-12 womens college swimming dual meets. Stanford, USC, Cal, etc. It looks like they've agreed to forego the clunky knee-length racing suits and they just wear their regular 1-piece suits. It's a wedgiefest to behold!

I saw the site. I knew there had to be a catch--exorbitant shipping prices. Maybe those Arigreben briefs, but there are cheaper outlets for them.

My first swimming experience was at 11 years old, taking my first basic swim lessons, only because my middle school had a pool and I was scared to death of drowning and (worse) the public humiliation that would go along with being completely clueless around water. I remember 3 of the teenage male sw...

That third photo..."Am I going to pull this bottom out of my butt? Nope, just checking on it, it's right where I want it..."

Girls make it too obvious a lot.

Oh man, do you have an hour?😄 The latest, the budget-priced Easy Juicy brief, faded and stretched out far too quickly. Was not worth it. I didn't like the Sporti Euro brief. No front space, strange butt fit. Several suits I bought online simply were too much coverage after being advertised as "low-r...

There are wild variations in drawcord quality. The ones that don't stay tight unless you double-knot them? Those will make an ugly bulge and may even be irritating. I've even kept good cords from cast-off speedos to use again. What a pain to thread through a speedo, but for a favorite one, it may be...

...or speedos that even have the drawcord holes on the outside of the brief. Personally, not a fan of the look. Appears "unkept" IMO, and certainly can't be efficient for swimming speed. I think it began with women creating a trend of leaving their workout bikini bottom cords hanging out. But to eac...

'73 that is badass! I've seen a couple pools prohibit thongs on their posted general rules signs, but all that was over a decade ago. You CAN'T really prohibit them anymore, what with women's wear completely obliterating the lines between thong/cheeky/minimal coverage now.

I have an unfortunate upate--my EJ brief faded badly after only about 6 workouts. Forget lap swimming. And even the size S ended up rather baggy on me. Can't recommend.
