Speedo in Brazil?

Question

Are speedos popular in Brazil?

Answer 1

like vanessa said most speedo wearer's in brazil are middle age and older guys but in rio most guys do wear speedo's but some wear boardshorts over their speedos  and just wear speedos to tan in. they call speedos sungas in brazil

Answer 2

Yes they are. Speedo shows off your package, and that's a good thing over there when all they really care for is having a great body.

Answer 3

Yes, they are...

even if I don't like going to beaches... You can see it when you're in Brazil

Answer 4

yes..  i've never seen a brazilian guy wear trunks..

... or a European guy

Answer 5

yes, speedos are very popular in brasil.  i was in rio for 2 weeks in march of this year.   i am from fort lauderdale florida where the speedo is only popular among tourists usually from europe.  it is actually interesting that the brazilian culure is very confident about their bodies. overweight men and woman have no problem wearing a speedo or a bikini.   this doesn't mean that you should go out and buy a speedo just because you are traveling to brasil.  feel free to wear whatever you normally feel comfortable with here in the states.

Answer 6

Does that help ? If not, let me know so I can make some more research on your behalf, ok. Good luck.

Where are you from?

Answer 7

Yes! Speedos are ah-mazingly popular in Brazil, but mostly with the middle-aged and older men. Young men and teens use surf shorts to the beach. It's kinda hard to find a 16 year old wearing a speedo though... get it? Hope I helped!

Answer 8

I've been twice to Ipanema's beach and yes, nearly all the men wore Speedos.

Answer 9

Vanessa is right, but may I say that in Rio you'll see more often speedos and young people in speedos. But mostly young people don't like speedos.

Also a few runners wear speedos with nike tennis, witch is really funny.

Answer 10

yes! Very popular!

Answer 11

If you have a very good shape!
