Hey,
New here, hope everyone is doing well..
When I was a kid, I got a speedo, maybe 15.. Loved it but, it wasn't popular. Got another out of college, used to swim with it at the YMCA> Now one seem to notice. it was great. I kinda lost it moving recently. Looking for another one. I always had the typical black speedo swim brief. Normal brief cut on the leg. I was looking to spice it up a little more. Looking for something more like a bikini. Higher cut on the leg. A friend of mine says I should go for something with a draw string on the front.. Not much into a string bikini, though I would be open to try it. Not sure how it would differ from a normal bikini. Anyone have experience with that? Anyone know if speedos are gaining popularity again?? Just looking for some reccomendations!!
Thanks
Chris

Try the speedo solar, smaller cut on the hips and much more comfortable than the 3 or 4 inch sides, I think.

Hey Chris
Try getting no more than a 2" sides. We are trying to get more people converted over to speedos, but that is not something done overnight sad to say. Do you want lycra or nylon? My favorite ones are these two:

You are from the northeast? Im from PA. Ive been trying to get a few guys together and head to the beach this year, but no luck yet. Hopefully we can meet up before the season ends. I love heading to the beach to get the looks from the girls--knowing they like what they see but wont admit it!
Holler back!

Hey,
Thanks for the replies. I am actually much further deep into New England.. So, you said 2in sides is the max? My friend i'm going to key Largo with says she thinks one with a drawstring on the front would look good. Any reccomendations? She also told me a string bikini might look good on me.. Any experience with that? Not sure how it would hold up in water and waves? Have a good one and I agree, girls really dig it, though they would never admit it..

I wouldn't get the draw string in front unless you are going to the beach with it.
For going to the pool you will want something from swimoutlet.com. I think they are gaining in popularity but slowly.
