Brief Talk Podcast — Frank: Speedos, Thongs & Finding Your Confidence

Brief Talk Podcast — Frank: Speedos, Thongs & Finding Your Confidence You don’t need a perfect body to wear the swimwear you love. This week, UNB Tim welcomes Frank, known on Instagram as @speedosandthongscub, for a conversation about body confidence, swim briefs, thongs, and finding your community. Frank shares how he went from keeping his swimwear photos private to creating an Instagram page—and how taking that chance opened doors he never expected. They discuss Frank’s first visit to Thongers Weekend in Fort Lauderdale, the welcoming mix of body types, and why being around guys who share your interests can make such a difference. Frank also recounts a rare negative comment in public, his frustrations with Instagram restrictions, and his approach to poolside outfit changes. Bringing a backpack full of swimwear? Absolutely. Remembering water? That’s another story. Frank explains how his graphic design experience led to creating the Winged Leopard print for NoRudos. He also shares his favorite swimwear makers, his love of superhero spandex, and a preview of another design collaboration. The message throughout: wear what makes you feel good, find people who support you, and stop waiting for the “perfect” body to enjoy yourself.
