The reason Speedos are stigmatised

[Dooley67]

This debate is endless and will never come to a conclusion that everyone agrees with. I have only recently become a serious swimmer (2 months) and have changed the type of briefs I wear - the ones that are tighter, sturdier, low cut and hold my equipment in place. But I've been wearing speedos forever because I like how they feel and fit. I was not a poser and I'm sure there are lots of other speedo wearers who fall into the category that I was in. Speedos, when worn respectfully and in good taste (no thongs or sheer briefs) when around families and children are for anyone who wants to wear them. People shouldn't get hung up on what others think. Just be yourself and be comfortable in what you wear.
