Q. What is the difference between a "speedo" and a swimsuit? I am 14 and not sure which one I should buy.
Tell me why or why not.

Answer
Speedo is a brand name. They make many different styles of suits, but when people use lower-case "s", (as in "speedo") they are usually referring to small swim briefs. America is currently in a phase where many people freak out at the concept of men in small swimsuits (although in other areas of the world it is no big deal).
"Swimsuit" can refer to any size or style of swim wear.
In the States, women are encouraged to wear bikinis, while men are supposed to cover up most of the lower half of their bodies. At some point, the pendulum will swing back, and men will wear smaller swimsuits. In the mean time, expect hysterical reactions at the mere mention of the word "speedo."
Bottom line: If you plan to swim laps, buy a briefs (aka "speedo"). If you plan to just play around the pool/beach, get swim trunks (aka "board shorts").

Swimsuits...?

I want to buy my 4 month old a swimsuit but I cannot find them for her anywhere! She wears 3-6 months. I bought her a pool but the swimsuits are extinct... Does anyone have a swimsuit for theirs and where did you get it?
I have never seen the childrens place. I live in a semi-small town in NC. We have to travel like 30 minutes to get to a mall and stuff...
I have her a little hat and everything, sunscreen of course. She gets sunscreen everyday.
I also have her an umbrella that you use at the beach because we have taken her fishing a few times..
Answer
target has great swimsuits with spf 50 built in, also california baby sunscreen that can be used on all ages, not just over 6 months old, and spf 50 hats too. im sure they have teeny-tiny ones, because i just bought one for my 9 month old, and it was not the smallest one available. keep in mind that a larger size will probably also fit her, and she will grow so much in the next couple of months too, buying a bigger one wouldn't be a bad idea! also check L"one step ahead" catalog or online, they have great spf clothing.
