Hi from California

Been lurking for a bit and decided to join officially. Grew up in Asia where speedos were worn in the 90s during PE for school, albeit both genders had to wear black.
So glad to see and read that there are still so many speedo enthusiasts! If only the world (particularly North America) would embrace speedos in social settings (girls wear just as revealing and skin tight swimsuits, why can't guys?)
As for my 'collection'. A few years ago, I took up swimming again. There were lap swimming classes at the local community college so I got all the available colors of the Speedo 1 inch Solar. Never really liked the seam down the middle, nor the inner lining (creates so much drag and takes longer to dry), so I cut the inner lining on most of them. Needless to say, the lighter colors go transparent when wet (I haven't mustered up the courage to wear those in public settings).
I switched to TYR blue jammers and also cut out the inner lining, and more recently swam with a female friend in those (no other guy in the pool wore a speedo, so to not stand out, I decided on the jammers - which still shows my bulge, so it's all good). I'm pretty fit as I play lots of other sports, so while I don't have a six pack, I'm relatively thin so I look pretty decent in a speedo.
Anyways, enough rambling. Hope to read more interesting topics here!
