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've had two of the original FS since 2004 and wear them 3-4 times a year. I have found that they may not do much for drag, but they do get any extra fat out of the way. I have set a number of personal bests in these suits, and a couple while not wearing them. I really only wear them so that the extra skin is out of the way. I have yet to find any problems with the suits even after this long and have no idea why people think they will not work after a couple of uses. I did only spend a bit over $100 for the both of them because I got them on sale.
