Whoops!:afraid: Excuse me, I didn't see the sign on the door:bolt: Well, ladies, Steve seems to think the following needs to stay in our locker room, rather than in the NSR section, so, this one's for YOU: www.youtube.com/watch_popup :chug:

Good to know about the sizing and cut of the Yingfas! I was just about to ask for suit recommendations for those who have less....um, junk in the trunk as you might say haha. For me, the newer 'cut-out' style suits have been a godsend due to the skimpier rear, but too often the skinny straps dig into my back causing some not so flattering bulge action. Not to mention that my love handles are completely exposed as well lol. But it is a sacrifice I have made to avoid the saggy bubble butt that practically covers my entire backside up to my waist! I will forever be wearing junior-sized jeans as well......sigh. I really wish Speedo would make an Endurance version of their original FS Pro Recordbreaker cut :bow: Will look into the Yingfas!

I have seen some very large ladies get into a size small or medium. I am sure they do not last very long.

Just popping in to say "hi" ladies! My name is Halsey :) I'm new on the forums, and I have a feeling I'm going to be on this site a lot! It's great to see a women specific thread on here. Hello Halsey, good to 'read' you! Welcome and enjoy! I find this place gives me much motivation! -J ps.. George and Elaine, thanks for the suit-tips! No more bubble butt!! the mesh liner in the back works like a charm, though I do find the bottom to be slightly loose so that I find myself "pulling it down" every once in awhile, though it's not so much that I can't use it! :) I may order one size down next time though. :) Cheers and thanks again!

My latest suit, which is cut very low on the back and sides causes air and water to get trapped, but this usually happens at the beginning of a workout, either when diving or executing the first turn. Once my suit is good and wet, it's not a problem. I wear speedo endurance and finds this happens once the suit is a bit older and starting to stretch out. The one I have now is being retired at the end of this week and has been causing bubble-butt for some time now, but only on the first couple of lengths. Once it has got all wet and stuck in place it's fine!

Elaine you do have a very long torso if I remember right???

RE: Women's Locker Room

Some suits are designed with a mesh seam down the back which allows air and water to escape.

Elaine you do have a very long torso if I remember right??? No, not disproportionately long; I have long legs and long arms, too. It's just that I'm above average in height at 5'71/2"; much taller than those tiny Chinese!

Thanks for the link, the suits are reasonably priced too, though I have to admit it's a little daunting to have to order a suit sized XXL?!, Is that sizing chart accurate? I'm sort of on the edge of 32 up so I'm assuming an XXL vs an XL would do? Uhhh, yeah. Yingfa are made by the Chinese, and, evidently for the Chinese- and their tiny butts. I'm 5'71/2", weigh 121 pounds, and wear a XXXL, just to cover my butt, so I wouldn't :mooning:. I would have preferred a XXL otherwise, but it was just too small in the butt. And, I don't have a big butt! :bitching:

OK, so do any of you women out there experience the dreaded 'bubble butt' syndrome with certain swimsuits? My latest suit, which is cut very low on the back and sides causes air and water to get trapped, but this usually happens at the beginning of a workout, either when diving or executing the first turn. Once my suit is good and wet, it's not a problem. A racer-back style suit, where the back is completely enclosed may eliminate this problem for you. I own a couple of older Nike racer-back suits and don't experience any trapped air or water during dives or turns.

Seriously, he has great suits at great prices- and great customer service! I use my Yingfa for competition, however, I'm sure he can hook you up with a great, non-bubble butt training suit! :agree:

OK, so do any of you women out there experience the dreaded 'bubble butt' syndrome with certain swimsuits? I have a few that chronically fill with air during a flip turn and hold that bubble while swimming the next 25yds.... only to be released (sometimes) at the other side in one fell----bloooooop! :eek: I can only imagine what anyone catching a glimpse of this phenomenon might think! LOL :mooning: Any suggestions for fixing this? or any particular suit styles that work better than others for this? I usually get the grab bag suits, but might be willing to pay full price if I know this wouldn't happen. Sometimes this issue becomes rather distracting to my swimming!:blush: Try one of George's Yingfa suits at www.swimdownhill.com . Yingfa suits are cut so small in the butt, there is NO chance for a bubble butt! I usually train in a Speedo Endurance (50% poly/ 50% PBT) suit and have never had the bubble butt syndrome. And, those suits last a loooong time. :applaud:

Actually Elaine, progressive hair thinning is a little-known side effect of participating in USMS Forums. All of the moderators are now totally bald...

I thought I might mention my hair is very lovely. No end damage and find the #1 or #2 clippers have me looking great.

too bad i couldn't get this to happen with just the gray hairs. If only.....although I might actually notice some thinning if that happened:blush:
