You are about to enter Speedno, a world where the normal social rules of right and wrong no longer exist. A world where tiny modest threads of spandex have the power to say so much, with so little.A world where people can care so little about the lifespan of elastic. And a world where men of all races, ages, sexual orientation, body hair coverage, or fitness levels just want a little acknowledgment for having the balls, so to speak, to show us what God gave them.
This collection of photos sets out to uncover—if not empathize with—the mildly narcissistic tendencies of the human experience and to admit once and for all how, the more we try to be cool, the more ridiculous we can appear to the outsider looking in.
Speedno.com is a place for all who love to hate the Speedo to come together and get a good laugh from our friends the world over who embrace their banana hammocks.

History of the Speedo
(From Wikipedia)
Speedo is a swimsuit manufacturer that began on
During World War II the manufacturer shifted nearly all of its production to war materials such as mosquito nets. Speedo resumed production after the war and became a publicly traded corporation in 1951. In 1955 Speedo introduced nylon into its fabric for competitive swimwear. The 1956 Olympics in
During the 1970's and 80's new fabrics such as lycra were incorporated into the company's swimwear design. During the late 1990's the company turned its attention to its aquablade and fastskin product lines of competitive swimwear. The designs employ new fabrics that the company claims will reduce resistance in the water by replicating biological skin characteristics of various marine animals such as sharks.
Though it still manufactures the traditional briefs, jammers and racerback designs that made the company famous, Speedo's latest competitive swimwear designs incorporate suits that provide greater coverage to the arms, legs, and even full body for their top end lineup. Their high-end suits often sell for in excess of $300 (in US Dollars) for the Fastskin 2 series. The company also continues to manufacture recreational swimwear, goggles, earplugs, swim caps, towels, robes, sportswear and other logo clothing, watches, sandals, beach volleyball and triathlon products, lifeguard gear, and training supplies for competitive and recreational swimmers.
