Speedos in Aruba

[Aruspeed]

7 days until my trip. I just received two new speedos in the mail from eBay purchases. One is an arena suit with relatively narrow sides, and has a glossier almost water polo type fabric. The other is a grey/silver suit by Gary majdell. It's not as slick, but appears to be relatively flattering. We are doing the jolly pirates cruise but I don't think I'm bold enough to wear them on the ship. Never seems like a speedo crowd. I'll try to post how my speedo adventures go when I return in October!

Wear what you feel comfortable in around the crowd you are with.

I have 2 bikinis from Gary majdell, one white and one grey/silver. Not sure which style either one is, either countour or Greek bikini. the white fits fine, but the silver fits great, as you said... very flattering. I'm hung average at best, but after my wife pointed it out I can't help but notice how much bigger that bikini makes me look. In public or just us they silver Gary majdell is her pick. Since the suit isn't offensive, just flattering, my opinion is to wear it, there will be admirers and haters of both sexes, but it's your vacation!! Live it up!!

Just got back from Aruba...loved it. I wore a speedo every day and even had lunch at a beach side bar in only my speedo. Don't worry about the differences between Palm and Eagle beach, I saw plenty of speedos on Palm. Aruba is a happy carefree place and people are there to enjoy themselves. Wear what you want to wear as I did. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks guys. I'm getting a more "who cares" attitude about it all. We spent a lot of money on this vacation and won't have another for awhile. Since my suits are flattering and not obscene, I'm cool with wearing them on any beach. In fact. I'm not even going to pack any boardies. So I'll have no choice even if I chicken out.

That said, I've never felt odd with a speedo on Eagle beach. So my nervousness won't be tested there. Lol.

Leave in 3 days!!

Post some pics of you and the Speedo of choice for the day. Will encourage you to share with all of us. We have your back....

My wife and I vacation each year in Aruba, usually in the late fall. We rent a condo across the street from Eagle beach, but spend most of our beach time up on Arashi and Malmok beaches -to snorkle. Even though speedos are not the norm, I'm certainly not alone and I have always felt very comfortable wearing them (mostly 2" Caussies) at the beaches and pools.
