Speedo Europe. Much better design taste than Speedo USA. Like the look of 5cm side, but realistically the 6.5cm, 7cm, and 8cm sides give you a cleaner and flatter fit in the front. (I'm ultimately...

Floating fins can also help lift your feet, but they may annoy your ankle.

You could do pull sets with paddles if you have the arm/shoulder strength. (Don't injure your shoulders!)

Your friend should measure his waist 4 finger widths below his navel. That's his Speedo size. The hip size is not a really useful guide.

Nope, way too "pouchy" to be a Speedo. They're really racing suits, hold things flat. The exception is the Solar, but it has a seam down the front, and isn't this baggy.

Pointing up. Smooth and modest, not trying for maximum bulge. Probably the least water resistance. By the time I'm done swimming in the 81F water, it's shrunken and pointing out.

Yeah, this batch of 100% Nylon suits is definitely rare. All the ones I got are 70000 series, with 4 inch sides. I didn't get any 72000 series ones, I have a hunch they have 3 inch sides, but no...

Speedo Europe has plenty of briefs with logos on the rear, mostly with 7cm sides. But they aren't licensed to sell to the US, so finding a seller to ship them here can be a bit of a problem.

Your second photo looks like a Speedo Solar in heather or gray. The Solar is the "pouchiest" Speedo brief, lets everything hang rather low. It's really the "odd man out" in the Speedo line-up.
