Default Over sized speedos?

Growing up, especially in teen years, did your mom purchase speedos for you that were oversized like they would with jeans and other things and you'll grow into them? That certainly caused problems!

No, mine started out the right size, but when I outgrew them the tight squeeze was thrilling. I have enjoyed tight flat-front suits and thongs ever since.

Mom bought me oversized pants and jeans " to grow into" but she bought me squarecut lycra swimsuits that fit pretty well. Darn well.


She did not like the very short bluejeans cutoffs that were popular with us boys at that time. Too 'trashy.'

The original (1960s) nylon Speedo suits had 6 or 7” sides.
My teen swim team suits were HUGE by comparison with anything I’ve worn since. Unless worn with a jock, your tent pole was unconstrained.

Those maybe were Ocean Champion or the slightly briefer Ocean Speed suits. I would buy a smaller size so the tent pole was like a popsicle stick. I liked the squeeze.

I still have a few of the Ocean Champion briefs. One in the original box. They were issued to us for swim class. Young age where there was ample room for things to grow and show. Loved swim class.

Yeah I loved the suits and swim class as well. Would love to have one of those brand new! Be fun to wear and try on. I'd probably still pop one!

Oversize Speedos were more a thing when swimmers wore nylon swimsuits prior to Lycra being available.
As said above oversized nylon Speedos would give little or no support and a swim jockstrap might have to be worn after puberty
Lycra Speedos rapidly became popular among swimmers as they gave more support, holding everything firmly and they gave less resistance when swimming in water allowing the swimmer to go faster.
Buying Lycra Speedos a size too large to allow for growth because of the stretch in the fabric will still fit firmly but allow the swimmer to grow to fit the Speedos properly and to continue wearing them until they are a size too small.
The problem with wearing old overstretched Speedos is that the bottom of the suit loses it's elastane and starts to hang down to your knees.
Parents, at the point that your son's Speedos are hanging down half way to his knees please buy him a new pair, you've had your money's worth out of them. Leaving damp Speedos rolled up in a towel or bunging them in an electric tumble drier will kill the elastane in the swimsuit. Care for your Speedos and they'll care for you!

Nope, mine were nylon Speedos with the red arrow logo.
At one point I did try the Ocean Champions, but wasn’t a fan of their double layer (they advertised it was a trunk inside a trunk).
