Default Your location?

I just signed up today and was wondering where most people are from? Is this a prodominantly USA forum or a mix? Also curious as to how speedos are seen in your country?

I'm from ireland and speedos are not as common as board shorts but you definitely still see people wearing speedos, including myself

Hey Speedostocky,

Welcome! We have a great mix on the board, although USA is probably most common. But, what matters is we have some fun. I am from the top of Maine, USA. As for swimsuits, like everywhere, it seems boardies rule. I am fine with that. I love my swimwear of choice and enjoy that I am willing to feel confident in who I am and what I like.

Looking forward to getting to know you,

STS

Northern Nj here, USA

I row and kayak year round, wear speedo brief style every day weather permitting.

Although I am the only one wearing this style, I never have any problem with my companions. It would seem that I am accepted for my ability, not my mode of dress.

I'm also from northern NJ. I always wear my speedos. Don't see many others that do, but it doesn't matter to me what other people do. I know I'm comfortable in my speedos!! Welcome to the Board!

Central NJ here. Does you name indicate that you prefer Speedo Solars?
They are my favorite. Brief enough for freedom and comfort, yet cover enough to be allowed almost anywhere, even though very few wear them in NJ>

A fellow Celt here -- from Wales in my case!
I think we share quite a lot with you culturally in Eire, and as such board shorts/running shorts used for swimming are most common here, followed by the square-cut boxer brief style and then the traditional speedo brief.

It seems to me (based on this forum and 'speedoforum' too) that in America, wearing speedos is a much bigger deal.
While I'm fairly unusual amongst my friends for wearing speedos, some people might have some banter about my choice but that's it. Nobody really cares what I wear! I get the impression in America that it's almost a cardinal sin!

Speedolad, I have not found any more or less issues with swim briefs in America than anywhere else I have been. Surely not the style of choice, but then they are not the popular choice most places. Like you, maybe some jestful banter, if at all. I think the garbage you read on how anti speedo America is comes from biased, self conscious posters who are trying to place blame for their own insecurities. Look at how many here admit they wont wear a swim brief in public or ask if a beach is speedo friendly. I wear my swimsuit of choice anywhere a swim suit is the right attire, beach, lake, pool,etc. No one has had an issue, USA or anywhere else.
