Default Are there any good Speedo knock-offs?

Forgot my Speedo in Vegas yesterday. To replace it is like $50, which seems steep. Are there any brands just as good for less money? Don't really feel like shelling out that much again.

Yeah literally anywhere that sells banana hammocks will suffice for you. I assume you're not brand loyal to speedo for their sweet aerodynamic properties because you're competing in Olympic trials. Anything that effectively hides your thunder should be fine.

Am I the only one who thinks he has no intention of wearing said speedo knock off in the water?

I just picture him scootering around Bonavista in a speedo throwing rocks at dogs.

I think losing your speedo in Vegas is a sign that you should stop wearing them. Go to Costco and get a pair of board shorts for $20.

lol of course.

Although, when you just absolutely have to bundle your junk into a location that's uncomfortable for everyone, you shouldn't trust cheap alternatives.

I wear a Speedo under my board shorts when I swim. I hate how if I sit wrong you can see my wang since board shorts don't have linings. Speedos underneath are awesome.

Silver isn't a troll, and he isn't trying too hard, he's just an eccentric. Once you realize that just sit back and enjoy it all.

If that's how you're using them, why don't you consider a pair of quick drying nylon/spandex underwear under your board shorts specifically for swimming. Scope swimco at your leisure for any pair of clearance speedos at a price level acceptable to you while you continue to use a "stop gap" solution.

I know older guys that used to bring clean underwear to wear under their swim trunks. Most seem to have stopped after acquiring modern day board shorts. There's definitely been an improvement in terms of swim gear for guys to avoid undesirable "silhouetting" of the crotch area in recent years.

I'd say either go with tight boxer briefs under your board shorts, or just go straight Speedo and own it.
