So I think we have done a post like this one in the past, but we have new members and I think a lot of people have aquired new speedos or undies and maybe new tastes. So I wondered what kind of speedo or undie is now your favorite? Tell us who makes it, where you got it and what color it is. Maybe who this makes it your favorite as well?.

My current favorite is a black TYR brief that I wore out to the beach the other day. When out in the water I saw someone on the shore snapping a photo of me! :lol:

Bikedude - When I drive with my man, and I am on the phone. I will ask him to shift for me. He rarely actually grabs the car shifter :lol:

I think that my current favorite would have to be my new Andrew Christian (which was my avatar ... and I hope to be able to re-load it soon ....)

I don't remember how I answered before. So... new reply.

Going back in time to mid 70s I had a pair of Turbo lycra print trunks which were black with various color lightning bolts in the pattern. The lycra was particularly soft and conforming and consequently rather flattering.

I'd worn a size 34 but mid-summer i bought the same pair in size 32 as I'd lost some weight. Came home from the store and tried them on but was interrupted by the doorbell.

Went to the door and asked who it was. Greg was the 14 yo kid from downstairs who often swam with me (buddy system, ya know). He'd seen the size 34 at the pool so I figured it was no problem to open the door. (Sadly, I wouldn't risk that today with a teenager.)

Told him they were a new size and asked how they looked. Ever so matter-of-factly he said "they make your balls look bigger!".

I liked those trunks and that kid to this day. :)

Sure, whats not to like about someone who complements you on your balls looking bigger? lol

OK, I just got a speedo solar and happen to think it makes me look pretty good, so I like that one too....

Tried on a Speedo Solar and it didn't flatter any part of me. the Speedo brand isn't one of my better choices in swimwear. Unfortunately, the brands and styles I much preferred were made in late 70s and 80s and don't exist today.

I like vey much Athena, for its comfort, I love Speedo, and the first for me is : Hom :D

Why Hom first :?: because they do swimwear like briefs or vice versa, and I wear briefs everyday, they look like a speedo, but more light under pants.

Wil - I've had some HOM underwear in the past and they were always very comfortable .... maybe I should try their swimwear...
