You might’ve heard whispers that Speedos are making some inroads among straight men. It's still early in swimsuit season, so IRL evidence is light on the ground—but where there’s smoke, there’s Lycra-wrapped fire. And if swim briefs (their government name) have caught your eye, we’re here to help you go from Quietly Intrigued to F*ck It, I’m Game.

If this is your first foray into the Speedo Zone, a few pieces of advice. A longer outseam (swim brief inseams are all none-inches long) translates to a higher rise covering more of the land between junk and navel. Dark solid colors are fairly demure, while bright solid colors and patterns will show the contours of your junk. Avoid nude tones unless you’re intentionally aiming for Ken cosplay.
