Jammers vs traditional Speedos

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.

    BTW: Just got the new speedo thong. That should knock a few seconds of my 200 IM time. originally posted by mrcnwmn It's cheaper to simply make your own thong out of some used dental floss.....Very low resistance as well!!....(well except for some of us that is.......I know .....I'm dangling on the border of common decency now....no pun intended). newmastersswimmer p.s. So swimmy...Am I right about the metrosexual habbits thing?(about how women typically prefer them I mean?)

    I mostly wear jammers, but not because I think that they improve performance and make faster, not because I am hairy(on top of me being a very lightly-haired guy chlorine adds up to it by almost making me hairless) and definitely not because I am scared to put on briefs for whatever reason(ex. someone mentioned that to be a very gay piece of clothing - well, you go to any other country but America and will see more guys wearing briefs than baggy swim shorts, I am as hetero as one could be, but have no problem wearing a brief, why does wearing a brief make you gay in America?), but simply because I love the look of jammers, I think they are HOT!!!Simple, lol. Once in a while I will wear briefs just for a change, though...

    Stolen from the Meaning of Swimming Thread By Swimmy: Ode to Swimming XX ~ Men in Jammers Oh, "Whatever should I wear?" The men cry as they hope no one will stare, Fretting, Debating, Deciding, Jammers or Speedos...if they dare! Oh, if they really want speed, Is it Jammers or Speedo they need? Arguing, Confusing, Amusing, All this over a few inches of material...INDEED! Oh, when all is said and done, Joking about thongs and other such fun, Laughing, Mocking, Teasing, Good luck choosing the best one! Swimmy Newmastersswimmer p.s. Swimmy I hope you don't mind me stealing your poem from the other thread and posting it here?.....I just felt that it fit the discussion here so well (and that it is so hilarious!) that a copy of it should be posted here as well.....In case some of y'all haven't been to our poetry thread here ("The Meaning of Swimming"), Swimmy is quite the poet ! (as well as others that frequent that other thread).

    okay forget about the underwear comparison of swimwear. here's a similar question: Do guys that like jammers, like board shorts (not for swimming but just to wear)? I hate board shorts. I want shorter shorts to come back into style for guys. Not short shorts, but shorter shorts. Then do you think jammers will get cut to the length of regular shorts?
  • Speedos on guys. Is that what got you into swimming? Kennyrupple You bet! Hahahaha Swimmy :)

    Where do you live? Any time I saw surfers, they wore wetsuits (San Diego, North Carolina).
