What got you into Swim Briefs?

[Torchwatch]

I lived the other side of town to the swimming pool, it was too far to walk and difficult to get to by bus, when I got my first car I could go swimming after work on my own.
I'd been bought really horrible bri-nylon square cut trunks for school with a fake fly, I'd really hated them. Once I could go swimming on my own and had money to choose my own swimwear it had to be Speedos. The first pair were plain black nylon with 3" sides, I wanted more and less, the 2nd pair were 2" nylon with red and white trim.
I got briefer and briefer suits until I got a swim thong.
When Lycra replaced nylon my collection started all over again.
When the internet arrived the world was my swim shop.
