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 would much rather spend the $$ on the LZR. I would hate to wear a pink or green or (ewww....) brown suit.
I stick with black. I was forced to wear a pink floral suit at a meet recently. Ew!
I see there's a thread on which suit men prefer.
What about you ladies? Do you prefer tanks/kneeskins as FINA appears to be proposing/mandating? Or do you like the full body suits?
I of course like full coverage.

I prefer full coverage, however, I have a knee length B70 and a full one and the compression in the thighs is much tighter in the full suit, so I can't spend much time in it or I have dead legs....

Kneeskins are an evil blight on the swimsuit spectrum. EEE-yuck, what idiot thought up that style? Unless your quads are the perfect size, the band either flaps around or cuts off circulation to your lower legs (me).
Full legs with me are fine... you don't get the variation in ankle circumference as in thigh circumference so not such an issue with cutting off circulation. Tanks are fine too... probably slower than full leg suits but oh-so-much easier to put off.
Disclaimer: I am not nearly as fast as Fort, nor do I have such a database of times swum in full coverage suits... thus, the full suits being taken away does not pain me as much...

Dead legs?! Muscles just get too scrunched and freak out? I don't think I know about this phenomenon ...
I've never worn anything other than a tank.
And you look divine in all of them. At a minimum, however, I'd like to cover up the endless bruises I get as a result of being a huge klutz.
AquaGeek, SwimStud, SCY Freestyler, and the rest of you guys- WHAT are you doing in the women's locker room???:eek:
And as for what type of suit, I thought I would want a knee-length one, being a breaststroker, but found out that it cut off circulation in my quads (and I am fairly thin). This sort of defeated the purpose as, oddly, I need those for breaststroke. Ended up with full length blueseventy and love it.

The boys are always barging in!
I love the B70 for breaststroke too. If they take it away, I'm done with it as an individual event!
