Questions on FastSkin suits

Should wearing a FastSkin suit give the same performance benefits of shaving whatever area the FastSkin covers? Also, do people generally only wear them for "big meets" - like how swimmers would typically only shave for big meets? i.e. do college kids today wear them for all dual meets, or only for championships? Would you lose some of the benefit if you wore them too much? Thanks for any info!

    I have heard some people say they like them because it holds all the extra skin in. I don't feel I can fit into them yet, but then again I see people bigger than me figure out some way of getting into them. Looks like too much effort to me. I'll just stay with the versions that are like what I grew up with. Donna I didn't feel that my fastskin made me look to flattering....It really helps to show off just how large my belly is when I'm in that skin tight thing! Newmastersswimmer
