There are several options for a male in a Speedo-type swim briefs. Often water polo players wear a second, usually smaller, swim brief in case the outer one gets torn during play. Other options for getting the desired support and contour include a well-fitted thong or a swimmers’ jockstrap. The swimmers’ jock is made of lightweight material and the waistband and leg straps are thin so that they don’t protrude from the suit. Swim well!
