Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.

I bought myself a Fastskin II off Swimoutlet. It's the Recordbreaker in the regular suit style with an open back; not the knee or ankle length. I wear a 36, so I ordered a 36. The suit's compression causes my hips to bulge out the bottom of the leg openings. No matter where I put the leg openings :blush: it looks funky. Is this the way it is supposed to look? The suit does not feel tight, but I can't imagine walking around in it for 3 or so hours at a meet. I am thinking of going to a local store and trying on some other brands or styles before I order another one. I can tell that if I get it any larger I am going to have drag. Is this why people mostly buy the knee or ankle length? Please give me your input, advice, experiences with these types of suits. Thanks.
