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.

New topic for the Women's Locker Room...
I brought home my latest swimsuit bargain, a $16.99 Nike from TJ Maxx. Hubby picked it up, examined it, and said, "What's with the crotch plastic?" He was totally mystified, and amused, by the plastic "shield" that was stuck to the inside of the crotch area.
I tried to explain that this is supposedly a hygienic thing, for when people don't leave their underwear on when trying on a suit. But as I spoke I realized how dumb this really is. It's not like the germs would stay on the plastic and not "jump" to the swimsuit fabric.
I can't remember how long ago they started putting these little panels into women's swimsuits. In the "old days" I remember seeing signs in dressing rooms that directed people to leave their underwear on when trying on swimsuits. I haven't seen those signs for a number of years.
