Mister Poll: MALES ONLY -- speedo swimsuits as underwear/sleepwear?

This is a REAL marketing survey about the fast-growing new trend for younger males to wear brief or bikini (aka "speedo") swimsuits as underwear or sleepwear, or for casual wear at home. Like all polls here, this one is anonymous so PLEASE be HONEST (the questions here are inter-related to give an accurate "credibility index"). Depending upon results, this MAY (not guaranteed) result in a timely new product that might please you and your family members and friends.

Are you a MALE between about ages 9 through 25?

YES -- please continue voting in this poll.

NO -- please stop voting, and skip to enjoy reading all the interesting results and messages. :-)

Your age bracket:

Age 12 or below.

Age 13-19.

Age 20 or over.

How many of your friends or peers like to wear "speedos" as underwear, sleepwear, or casual wear at home?

Many of them, it has become quite common where I live.

Several of them, it's new but starting to catch on.

A few of them, but it isn't exactly widespread here now.

Hardly anyone I know is doing this right now.

I never heard of such a thing before.

Have YOU ever worn "speedos" as underwear, sleepwear, casual wear around your home, etc.?

Yes, I do it nearly all the time, I really enjoy it!

Yes, I do it sometimes, and would like to do it more.

Yes, tried it and liked it, but parents or others at home disapproved of it, so I stopped it for the time being.

Yes, tried a few times, but it doesn't interest me that much.

No, not yet, but it sounds cool and I do want to try it.

No, and the idea does NOT interest me.

If you answered "YES" to the previous question and you DO enjoy doing this, check all the reasons why YOU like to do it?

"Speedos" feel SOOO much better on my body than any kind of underwear.

I like the way I look wearing these instead of underwear.

Wearing them as undies I'm also always dressed already for swimming, suntanning, etc. where a swimsuit would be appropriate.

My parents or others at home think "speedos" look better on me than regular underwear to hang around in our home.

It feels cooler and lighter to wear just a "speedo" swimsuit around our home on warm days, than wearing boardies or cutoffs.

My friends and other guys also do this and so I fit in better.

My girlfriend/boyfriend gets a thrill out of it.

I love wearing "speedos" but am still shy to wear them for public swimming, so this is the only way I wear them right now.

Other reasons (please post a message).

What do your parents/guardians think about boys wearing "speedo" swimsuits as underwear or sleepwear?

They know about it and think it's A-OK for me to wear them that way, as well as casual wear in or around our home.

They know about it and think it's probably OK for underwear or sleeping, but probably not for hanging out around the house.

They know about it and still aren't sure if it is really "proper" to do so, but they allow me to do it anyway.

They know about it and VERY strongly disapprove of it.

They don't know about it because it would freak them out.

I don't know because this issue has never come up with them.

I've left home and am on my own, so this isn't an issue.

If you DO wear "speedo" style swimsuits for underwear or sleepwear, do you mostly prefer and REALLY, HONESTLY wear:

Full-cut brief with full seat and about 4-inch outside seam.

Lower-cut brief with moderate back and about 2-inch outseam.

Minimal bikini with narrow back and 1-inch or less outseam.

Thong-style bikini with only a narrow strap in back.

I don't wear these as underwear or sleepwear.

If you DO wear "speedo" style swimsuits by themselves around your home with your family, do you REALLY, HONESTLY wear:

Full-cut brief with full seat and about 4-inch outside seam.

Lower-cut brief with moderate back and about 2-inch outseam.

Minimal bikini with narrow back and 1-inch or less outseam.

Thong-style bikini with only a narrow strap in back.

I don't wear these by themselves around our home.

Do you wear "speedo" style swimsuits to go swimming or suntanning in public?

Yes, most always, nearly all the time.

Much of the time, but sometimes boardies, jammers, etc. also.

Only a few times when I feel especially daring or sexy.

Only around strangers, like on vacation/holiday, but not with my friends around where I live or go to school.

No, and I'd love to, but I still seem to be a bit shy.

No, and wearing them to swim in public does NOT interest me.

If you DO wear "speedo" style swimsuits at your local public pool or beach, do you REALLY, HONESTLY wear:

Full-cut brief with full seat and about 4-inch outside seam.

Lower-cut brief with moderate back and about 2-inch outseam.

Minimal bikini with narrow back and 1-inch or less outseam.

Thong-style bikini with only a narrow strap in back.

I don't wear these, I wear only boardies, jammers, etc.

If you DO NOT presently wear "speedo" style swimsuits at your local pool or beach, but if you really would like to, and somehow could or would be able to wear this style in public, would you really truly PREFER to wear:

Full-cut brief with full seat and about 4-inch outside seam.

Lower-cut brief with moderate back and about 2-inch outseam.

Minimal bikini with narrow back and 1-inch or less outseam.

Thong-style bikini with only a narrow strap in back.

I wouldn't want to wear these, only boardies, jammers, etc.

Now for the REAL question: IF you could buy a light, thin, stretchy, supportive nylon-blend brief or bikini or thong, unlined (single-layer) in front for comfort but never see-through, that was scientifically designed, manufactured and sold as TWO products in ONE, to be BOTH excellent swimwear AND underwear, available in solid colors and in all sizes from boys to adults, which fits and looks exactly like any other high-quality "speedo" swimsuit that you can wear anywhere for swimming (no signature waistband or fly front), while at the same time is also especially made to fit comfortably and snugly all day (and all night) as underwear -- and if you could buy it direct from a reliable Internet vendor at a price a bit more than "basic" underwear but WAY below the price of most "speedo" swimsuits -- WOULD YOU PERSONALLY BUY IT AND WEAR IT?

Hey dude, YES!!! -- where can I get several right NOW?!?!

YES for sure, as soon as I can talk my parents into buying them.

Yes I would, the very next time I buy undies or "speedos."

Yes, probably, I'd want to at least try one or two of them to check out.

Maybe... Could be... I'd have to think about that some more.

I don't really think so right now.

No, I'm definitely NOT interested.

If you answered "YES" or "MAYBE" to the previous question, what features about a dual-design underwear-AND-swimwear brief or bikini product like this would especially appeal to YOU?

My parents would OK it as underwear because it's also made for that.

My parents would OK it as swimwear because it's also made for that.

I wouldn't have to put on cover-up shorts to mow grass, wash car, etc.

I'm not into adult sizes yet and would LOVE to find these in MY size!

With these on as undies, I'd be already dressed for swimming or sunning.

Price is a factor and if these were way cheaper than most "speedos", I'd get them.

After a hot day I'd LOVE to strip to my undies and go swimming in them!

I travel often and these could replace the bulky swimsuits and undies in luggage
