I am considering purchasing Speedo jammers but I am accustomed to the brief style. I need feedback on the benefits of jammers. My main concern is that jammers will pinch my legs at the base. I mean people do have different leg girths I imagine. Please give me any good and bad opinions of jammers before I plop any money down on them.

Buy a polyester mesh training suit. They offer more coverage than the traditional 'Speedo' AND they last far, far longer. I bought one last year at SC Nats in Indy and have worn it four to five days per week since and it's still as good as new. It will set you back a little more than your grab-bag, but the difference in durability is massive. originally posted by Knelson
In response to your comments .....What exact "brand names" should I be shopping for here? ...The reason that I ask is b/c I live in a small town with no swim shops to speak of and so I buy my swim gear (including Jammers) over the internet.
Also, What do you think are the best "competition" jammers "for the money" on the market right now? (i.e. I want a fast competition pair of jammers for nationals...BUT I don't want to have to spend a whole lot of money either).
Thanks,

I'd rather if you all started wearing jammers. I don't want to see your hairy legs any more than I have to. originally posted by mrcnwmn
"I totally agree with that remark!!".....Modesty is my main reason for wearing them as well!
