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 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.
I read in another thread that it took 10 minutes to get a Yingfa suit on (and others take a lot of time to get on too), but what the heck is going on during this time - is it really that hard to get these suits on? I eventually want to get a YF or a FSPro... no fuschia Jaked for me.
Every once in a while I see the "keep your underwear on" signs up. But they are rare.
I have a yingfa tank suit. It allows skin to hang out in places I don't like. I'm not sure I'll ever wear it in public.
My mom always made me wear my underwear on when trying on swimsuits...
But what about trying on underwear? Do you think that everyone who tries on various garments at Victoria's Secret wear underwear underneath???
I'm surprised to hear that the Yingfa took a long time to get into. It is so stretchy. Maybe if it is TOO small, I can see it taking awhile, but I slipped right in to mine.
:rofl:
No plastic thingies for tech suits. And imagine the things that could attach to the full body try ons ...
Karen, how was the B70/Yinga comparison?
BTW, I got a FB wall post today saying the new Jaked comes in fuschia! lol
fort, the jaked comes in several colors. www.jaked.it
a shorty runs around 336 euro.

I would much rather spend the $$ on the LZR. I would hate to wear a pink or green or (ewww....) brown suit.
