    I am a bit confused by

    A men’s speedo covers more than your most basic bikini, are way harder to find and aren’t usually sold in boy’s sizes

    When i was in a swimming club as a kid, we almost all wore “speedos”. Someone wearing the versions with a little bit of leg on them was the rare exception. I used to be made fun of at lakes in the summer sometimes by people wearing the “bermuda shorts”. Turns out it is a bad idea to make fun of someone who is good at swimming while being in the water and wearing the faster swimwear.

        Yeah sure. I totally didn’t pull them under water for a few seconds or anything like that. No good kid would do that in a lake.

      I won’t argue very hard here, I’ll just say that I didn’t have bikini briefs in mind when I wrote this - but the coverage is roughly the same if you use those as the baseline bikini, which is fair enough.
