I loved this suit from the first lap. Good coverage. Wide elastic. I read about it falling down on some. It does gap at the push offs, but I guess my speed isn't fast enough to pull it down.Since it had the grommet and space for a drawstring, I put one in.

Speedo Quantum Splice Boy Short with Speedo Quantum Splice Techno Top works great!!!!!

I use these boy shorts for practice swim/ lap swimming - replacing a one piece.  They do feel smaller than expected (after calling in and getting help from a swimoutlet associate).  However they are not too small that I cannot use them or that they give me a muffin top.  They do squash my butt in and the waistband flips over everytime I push off the wall of the pool.  For the price and the fact that I purchased them over the internet w/o trying them on it wasn't such a bad thing and that's why I give it 4 stars.  It certainly was a very hard decision when deciding on the large or the medium (I went with med) due to the fact that when I purchase underwear I usually purchase large for my delicously large backside yet petite waist.  Does that help?

Great athletic swim bottom.  Good coverage with modern fit.

The other reviews said it ran big, so I ordered a size smaller than usual.  The size was fine, but the overall coverage isn't really a boy short.  It fit more like a regular bottom - especially in the front - so I returned it.

when will speedo get it right? why put fake string, that doesn't tie but just looks like it on swim suit bottoms? these felt Ok when i tried them on, so i wore them. in the pool they felt lose around the legs and the waist, its hard to keep them up. if the string really worked i could tighten it around my waist although still to big around the legs. i'm stuck with them because i wore them, but i wont be wearing them to swim laps in. they are cute but useless for me.
