Thumbs up Clarification

Torchwatch,

Thanks for taking the time to write such a thorough explanation. Actually, I am less confused after reading it. What I take from your explanation is that brief and bikini are the same but a bikini tends to be smaller than a brief and that what I referred to as a "speedo type" suit is really a brief that is somewhat larger than a bikini. And, when talking about a Speedo, we're talking about the brand and nothing more.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but a brief that has a side seam of maybe 1" or 1.5" and is low cut in the front below the hip bones would be called a bikini. A 2" might also be called a bikini if it were also low cut, but any side seam larger and a higher cut in front and back would be considered a brief.
