It helps sometimes to keep it basic, especially true of swimwear. I love swimming, and having less to wear while swimming laps is essential, so since my early teens, I've looked no further than swim briefs! This recent addition by Speedo is similar to the Solar, minus the pouch, but you will remain comfortable and supported up front. What's still there though is the high leg cut, important for movement in and out of the water. You'll definitely also notice a difference moving about with beach volleyball and yoga! Higher cuts are so much better at slipping on and off with ease. Normal speedos with another inch of fabric are still useful for swimming, but putting them on and taking them off is like you're trying to put on a diving suit. This, along with the strong seams, and tying the drawstring help keep everything secure to the hips. The support the brief gives in the back is amazing, and makes my size 30 have the perfect fit (looks wonderful in the mirror!) Having the logo along the back is a more attractive look! No logo on the front, factored in with the smaller cut, the smooth feel of the fabric, and solid colors give a closer resemblance to a true bikini than anything produced before by Speedo and I love it and feel so empowered wearing it! It's the 21st century, and as I've argued since I started wearing these 15 years ago, equality to me means fit guys and girls alike can wear bikinis for showcasing their fitness goals and swimming unencumbered!
