Are speedo the same swimming attire as swimming trunks?
Although “Speedo” is a brand name for many swimming accessories including all kinds of swimwear, the word, “speedo” has become the generic term for a men’s brief swimsuit. Brief swimsuits are the most practical garment for swimming, but most American men are afraid to wear them. In most of the world, “trunks” means a skin-tight swimsuit for men. Trunks can be brief, square cut, or thigh length (jammers). In the USA, trunks means baggy boxer shorts that come to somewhere between mid thigh and ankle length. These kind of trunks are very uncomfortable for swimming, but are preferred by puritans, feminists and fashion victims.
