CNN: Speedos are back!

Post by swimmer78 »

Saw this today on cnn.com and had to share: https://www.cnn.com/style/speedos-comeb ... index.html
This is probably the most mainstream reporting I've seen on our beloved swimwear. Let's hope it's a for sure trend.

Someone also mentioned it on the main blog today and Nate and I both commented on it. The more people who see it, the better.

This is vary positive news. I hope it holds and we see a resurgence of mens bikini style swimwear and underwear along with more thongs from mainstream and big box vendors.

I was at the beach at Muamee Bay state park in Ohio yesterday with my kids and grandkids. I wore a 3" swim brief. While I was drying in the sun, the family about 25 feet away got up to leave. The guy came over and told me he like how I was rocking the speedo and wishes he had the confidence to wear one. Told me I wore it well and keep rockin it.

We can always rely on you to set a good example,Randy. Hopefully that guy will find the confidence to throw caution to the wind and just go for it.

That's great!

I, too, hope that him seeing you out there rocking your bikini helps him pluck up the courage to don one himself and get out there.

Good. I hate board shorts, at least for swimming.

Saw this the other day and it got me a little excited. Now we just need to normalize men's thong swimwear! Did my part for the first time at the beach yesterday, lol
