The more I clarify the more you will become confused.
Speedo is a brand, speedo is a variation on the basic Speedo racing brief design by other manufacturers.
The basic Speedo racing brief is a smooth front bikini, the width at the sides is variable as are colour and fabric.
A square cut swim suit has legs while a bikini has leg holes.
The words brief and bikini mean the same thing, but a bikini tends to be briefer than a brief.
The limit to the side width of a brief/bikini is the sum of the width of the waist elastic and the leg elastic.
A full cut covers your bum, a Brazilian cut shows the sides of your bum and a thong shows your bum cheeks. The limit to the rear width of a thong/bikini/brief is the sum of the widths of the elastic used.
A low cut suit reveals the top of your ass crack, while a high cut suit could cover your navel.
A smooth front bikini (Speedo) uses a single piece of fabric for the front of the suit. It holds everything in and smooth's it over, hiding inconvenient details. A pouch adds the 3rd dimension to the front of a suit, everything moves forwards and greater details are apparent. A filled pouch suggests that you are well endowed while a massive under filled pouch is boasting.
A front lined suit avoids embarrassment should you "dribble" slightly between the locker room toilets and the pool. A front lined suit also helps smooth over everything making the swimmer more presentable in public and less liable to embarrassment. An unlined suit when wet will cling tightly and reveal the shape of everything underneath.
A thin white fabric becomes transparent when wet, a thick black fabric remains opaque. Other colours and fabric thicknesses create a spectrum of choices.
Decide where you will wear your bikini, and who will see it and how you want them to react. Choose something conservative and safe for the public pool where lifeguards will be protecting women and children. Have something more adventurous ready for the quiet beach, miles from town where you can express yourself more freely. Since you are allowed to own more than one swim suit experiment around the house and in your own shower (or even pool if you have one).
