I’m heading to the beach with some friends and I’m thinking about bringing a speedo. I’m worried they might joke about my bulge, but they do that already when I wear regular clothes. Would it be strange to wear a speedo on a beach trip
Yeah speedos all the time. Why would you want to wear anything else

Man, church gets awkward sometimes though
If I’m in the water, I’m in a speedo. Unless I’m naked. I’ve been teased a few times but why should I let someone else’s issues ruin my fun
I’ve been wearing mine on beaches and a cruise for the past couple years. My wife says it’s cool with her, and I don’t really care about anyone else’s opinion. One guy at the beach tried to be funny, but nobody else said anything
Definitely uncommon in the US. I think it would be more normal if more guys wore them and realized how much more comfortable and practical briefs or square leg suits are. And women who think it’s weird should try swimming in cargo shorts before they say anything
My partner is Sicilian and wears them both at the beach in Catalunya where we live and at the pool. Why would he wear anything else? I’ve seen Spanish guys rolling up their strange swim shorts to tan better and they look so funny, just own it. I find them attractive and it shows you’re confident. The main thing is to wear what you’re comfortable in, but I imagine you’d have more support in a speedo
@Harper
When I say support, I mean for your balls
Everyone not wearing a speedo is just jealous of your confidence and great body. Skies out thighs out
My teenage kids said they’d be embarrassed if I wore speedo briefs on vacation, so I stick to speedo board shorts
If you’re more comfortable in them, why not wear speedo briefs and then put beach shorts over them? It’s pretty common for women to layer like that

The comfort comes from not having the beach shorts on. At least not when they’re wet. Wear the over shorts on the beach and take them off before going in the water. I’d be okay with that. I don’t wear briefs to show off but I can’t stand wearing trunks or board shorts when they’re wet
The water is for swimming and speedos are for swimming, shorts are not. That’s all there is to it. I always had the biggest bulge in my swim teams, if they tease you just tease them back, that’s what I do
5 inch running shorts are just right in my opinion
My swim briefs are for swimming. Years ago I wore them at the beach when lying down, but now I wear 5 inch shorts with a liner. At my beach, I might be swimming laps in that water, so there’s no reason to wear swim briefs. A tropical beach holiday had me wearing them under shorts and taking those off to swim laps. If I went to an ocean beach and wanted to wear briefs, I wouldn’t wear my training briefs because they’re for chlorine and pretty dull. Budgie smugglers are way more fun. Imagine if all of you wore the same design and took a picture. I never wear board shorts because I don’t surf and those are just way too uncomfortable. What are people hiding under all that fabric? Are thighs shameful? And guys wearing them also have boxers or other shorts underneath? The discomfort from the wetness makes me uneasy. Anyone commenting on your size is probably just jealous
In places like Italy it used to be really common but now it’s kind of frowned upon for no clear reason other than being too revealing

Really? When I was younger, I always wore speedos on the beach in Italy. I’m curious when that changed. Do they wear board shorts now

I was at a beach in Italy this summer and saw plenty of men wearing speedos
I’m from Australia and we see a lot of budgie smugglers at the beach, usually on older guys. Most younger guys wear board shorts
It all depends on where you’re going and how comfortable you feel. Try wearing one under regular swim trunks the first day to see how it goes
