speedo endurance.. yikes!

I must have a weird body. I don't get that wedgie thing. My speedo chlorine resistant suit lasted forever though! The lining is now tearing, and I have to discard. If anything, it was a bit big on top. Same as some_girl, it stretched, but very slowly. Not my fav suit though. Haven't found a fav practice suit yet. In general, though, my speedos seem to wear out very fast. I'm working on a tyr that seems to be holding up well, but I still haven't found a practice suit that is ideal. Swimchickee: Long pulling sets. Big ugh. Male coaches, male teammates. Same thing. They will notice, but laugh. Just ignore and carry on.

just get a mesh drag suit and wear it over your suit. wedgie paranoia problem solved.

I have have better luck with the Tyr polyester suits, speedo in general does not fit me well anymore.

I love Speedo Endurance suits. They are all I wear. When I first started back, I too got wedgies. But so did the other gals, so I wasn't too worried. Then I dropped a few pounds and wedgies stopped. I'm trying to see how long one will last. I still have one from 2002 when I started masters. Once the lining went, I cut it out and continued to swim with it anyway. I feel a bit more nude, but oh well. I know for a fact my friends do it too. So what the hey?!

I'll cut out my lining and carry on then too! :banana: I also think the suits run somewhat smaller than regular speedos. Maybe that accounts for some of the wedgies?

Well I don't wear jammers but I sometimes wear swim shorts - like bicycle shorts, I get them from H20 Wear. They make a top to go with it or I wear a bikini top :-D with them. I got them because during water aerobics classes, doing kicks and jumping jacks, whatever, I did get the dreaded wedgie - grrr. Also, the swim shorts come in handy for those days when the razor bumps are getting unsightly - girls, ya know what I'm talkin' about!

I have an endurance brief. I got it a long time ago. the lining is now riped out but I wear it under a mesh training suit. Every guy I've talked to who has one realy likes them. Too bad they do't work for women.

I also think the suits run somewhat smaller than regular speedos. Maybe that accounts for some of the wedgies? I think the cut is the same; it's the fabric that makes the difference. Soft, stretchy lycra is much more accomodating than polyester. I cut the lining out of my first Speedo polyester suit. It lasted several more months after that for a total of two years. I finally stopped wearing it because the straps had stretched so much. The fabric still looked great. Anna Lea

OK, I got this new Speedo suit Core Solid Super Pro which works great as a practice suite for me, everything is in place, the only thing I found I don't like is that the fabric got a bit floppy around the neck area after about a month of swimming. But hey, most of my other suits fell apart totally after about 40 days of swimming....:cry: I also got Speedo Side Splice (Racing - XD Skin), it really helped my speed, BUT I feel like my boobs are falling out on both sides every time I swim hard, especially freestyle. The butt fits well though! :rofl:
