Do speedos run true to size?
Unlike clothing, swimwear needs to sit slimly to avoid drag and gaping when in the water. Whilst our sizing runs true to size according to this slim-fit, you can also use our size charts to find the best fit for you. Swimsuits usually have a lot of elastication and stretch over time, and when wet, so if you’re right between two sizes, you’re likely safe going small. That said, going for a smaller swimsuit size shouldn’t push you into an uncomfortable experience.The ideal swimsuit fit should feel snug but not restrictive. Swimwear is designed to hug your body and provide support, especially in the bust and waist areas. If the swimsuit is too tight, it may dig into your skin or cause discomfort, while a loose fit may result in an unflattering look and lack of support.The swimsuit rule helps the parents to explain about private parts to their kids – what is covered while wearing a swimsuit is not to be touched by anyone.

Do speedos shrink in the dryer?
The dryer can be used in combination with any other method to increase the amount of swimsuit shrinkage you achieve. We all know by now that putting some clothes in the dryer makes them shrink—bathing suits are no different! Just be careful to always use the lowest setting to avoid over-shrinking or damaging the suit. Yes, polyester can shrink with repeated washing and drying at high temperatures, but it’s more resistant to shrinking than cotton or wool. To prevent shrinkage, wash in cold water and use low heat in the dryer to preserve the size and shape of your polyester garments.
