Ed’s Note:

While Speedo is the registered trademark of a swimwear brand, the generic term “speedo” refers to any bikini-cut men’s swimwear brief. The speedo, unlike the trunk, is cut high over the thigh, helping create the characteristic front bulge. It should be worn low across the hips, not pulled up over them. In Australia, the home of the speedo, they are colloquially referred to as “budgie smugglers”, “banana hammocks” and “dick stickers”.
