What are the possible advantages and disadvantages of training wearing girl suits to try and increase the drag resistance?

I have never seen a man wearing a womens swim suit in the pool. But I have seen a few men wearing swim caps with the chin strap. I remember one fellow who had long black hair . I think he was from India. He had a white strap speedo cap on and it was on backwards the strap was real high up toward the ears almost as a result. . We swimmers smiled and had a bit of a laugh to ourselves..but not because the cap had a strap but it was backwards and really looked goofy! Poor fellow he did not know how the cap was supposed to go on. A cap is a bit different then a swim suit though..lots of guy things have chin straps like fighter helmets football helmets, dive gear..all mucho macho. Now a flower cap would be sissy and get lots of laughs! All in all I guess it would be kind of strange to use womens suits for drag as they have cups. I pity the coach who tells his male swimmers to do this!
