First of all this is called a speedo board.....not male swim brief board. Speedo is the name that has attached itself to the male brief swimsuit. Just like you call a kleenex a kleenex - hardly ever call it a tissue.

Just so we are all clear....I apologize for using the word speedo and when I start my own line, I will use the term swim brief instead of speedo.

I love how this is the ONLY comments I'm getting in response. Wow. I didn't think it would be an issue at all.....lol

When you don't get sued, thank me. Call it an attack all you want.

Social media is HUGE right now with small business. Also, get a useful website (I can help with that). I can't stand a small business with a crappy website they did on vistaprint or Microsoft Word :P

Some brands choose the letter "A" or even numbers or symbols so they move to the top of a list. For example (2)xist underwear.

Just a wee bit too much. I figured that you were kidding, but if not, it's also a reminder to some of the kamikaze pilots of WW II and that won't go over very well. What about something like "Brevity"?

I mentioned before that I want to create a line of superhero/villain under things or swimwear. something the sexy geek can put on to feel and look good. There will indeed be a lot of swim briefs of various cuts, but I want to also create jocks, singlets, jammers and thongs, and even if I don't get all successful, I'll at least have a collection of nice undies and bulge-gear that I like, all for myself.

Can you achieve consistent quality and output when actually making your swimwear?
If you intend to compete with the Chinese at low prices you'll be working for their wages in your country.
If you intend to go upmarket then everything you sell will have to be perfect, much of what you make will go into the bin until you can make that perfect swim brief every time, in minutes.
Your first design will have to be available in at least 4 sizes and perhaps several colours, to build up a launch stock will take you weeks of hard work with no income. You will need to spend out on a lot of fabric, elastic and waist cord just to make the launch stock.
If no one buys you will be left with a couple of hundred swim briefs that no one wants, which you will have to sell off cheap on Ebay.

Not only would I buy but I have been very interested in designing swimwear and manufacturing it. My photo business is what keeps me from spending cash on a sterger or sewing machine.
