A man’s brave decision: Speedos or Jammers

Frankz Zboncak

If you’re a man who is always on the go but still wants to look fabulous, then speedos or jammers? Jammers are more comfortable and allow for greater movement in the water. Speedos often offer better support than jammers.

What’s your preference?

Speedos are more comfortable and less restrictive 

Swimmers know that wearing a speedo is the best way to meet all expectations of tightness and comfort. Speedos are made specifically for swimming, so they have less material than regular underwear which means swimmers can glide through water with ease and feel more comfortable in the suit. Swimmers who wear men’s speedos will find that they move more freely than those who wear women’s swimwear because there is a lot less fabric around their legs.

Speedos have a tendency to ride up in the crotch area, which can be uncomfortable for some people

The truth is, when it comes to swimming and speedos, the majority of swimmers have an undesirable experience.

Speedos are designed for a more narrow type body shape with less curvature in the waist area so they often ride up in the crotch area.

If you’re not careful or don’t wear underwear underneath your suit, this can lead to some embarrassing moments where your audience gets an eyeful!

Jammers are designed specifically for swimming laps

Swimmers do a lot of things to try and gain speed in the water: streamlining, kicking with their feet, and pushing off the pool wall. But one thing that may be holding swimmers back is what they wear on their bodies.

What many people don’t know is that wearing Jammers instead of Speedos could provide them with more speed in the water. The reason being is because there’s less drag from all the fabric bunching up around your legs when you’re swimming thanks to how tight fitting Jammers are compared to Speedos which have a tendency to get caught on other parts of your body while moving through the water. 

So if you’re looking for ways to improve your performance at practice or during an event, then jammers are the way to go.

Jammers don’t slip down like speedos do and provide more support for your private area.

Have you ever had a speedo slip down in the middle of your swim? It’s an embarrassing and uncomfortable experience that can put a damper on your day. But with jammer shorts, this will never happen! These tight fitting briefs stay in place while you’re swimming to help improve performance and eliminate distractions.

A lot of men who have a larger butt and trunk area are often frustrated with the feeling that their speedos keep slipping down while they’re swimming. This is where jammer swimwear comes in to save the day! Jammer swimwear has more material on it, which means it won’t slip down as easily like speedo’s will. They also come in different cuts so you can get one that fits your body type best.

Don’t let your large junk stop you from enjoying all of the benefits that swimming has to offer!

Speedo’s are more comfortable and less restrictive

The vast majority of swimmers have experienced the discomfort that comes with wearing a traditional racing suit. Whether it’s too tight, or just not comfortable for you – there have been many reasons why people switch to wearing Speedo swimwear instead.

What is so great about them? The first thing you’ll notice is that they are much more comfortable than regular suits because of their less restrictive material and style. You can move around freely without feeling constricted by your suit which means greater range of motion when swimming! They also come in different styles and colors, so you’re sure to find one that fits your personal style as well.

It’s easier to fit a jammer than a speedo

It’s no secret that most people find it easier to fit into a jammer than a speedo. This is because the design of the two types of swimsuits are completely different. Most people have more room in their hips and thighs, which makes it easier for them to slide into a jammer than it does for them to squeeze themselves into a tight-fitting speedo.

Speedos are less expensive but shorter lifespan than jammers

Swimmers know that the most important part of any swimsuit is its fabric. Speedos are made from cheaper materials and because they typically lack a lining, they wear out much faster. Jammers have a more durable construction and usually come with an inner lining to help protect against chafing. The average lifespan for a speedo is just 6 months to 1 year while it can be 1 year or more, for the more expensive jammers, it may last up to 3 years.

For more expensive speedos, they may last longer, but because of coverage of speedos are not great, so once a speedo wears down, you may need to replace it sooner or face the risk of exposing your sensitive area. On the other hand, even when a jammer wears down, they may still cover your area.

Verdict

In all and all, choose a speedo when:

  • You occasionally go to the pool
  • You prefer style over performance
  • You prefer a tight fit and have the will to maintain your body shape
  • You prefer something comfortable

On the other hand, choose a swimming jammer when:

  • You prefer performance
  • You want something that will last a long time
  • You want to hide your body lines
