I have seen guys using jammers mostly now. However, there were a good number of swimmers in briefs at Santa Clara. I'm leaning toward getting one for competition. I have square suits that I use for practice.
Does it matter what strokes I do?
jammers for taper meets and briefs for non-taper meets. Briefs are just more comfortable.
While I find that to be true as well, my main reason for wearing briefs at non-taper meets is just to save wear on the (more-expensive) jammers.
I get what everyone is saying about compression. But I've switched between briefs and jammers in a prelim/final meet, and the difference in performance was small (and very possibly nonexistent). YMMV.
