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 did it!! I got the suit on. :applaud::applaud: I told the suit it was going on today no matter what and then I did it. Although.. I broke a seam doing so but it should be okay. :badday: Now I know why it's so hard to get on up top. The suit comes up to my neck. It's a very high suit. I'm not used to that but it didn't bother me and the suit fits really well. Now it's back in the bag until May.
Oh, no! do you think it fits better with the seam broken...or are you going to get your money back?
The Jaked is actually painful.
Getting it on the first time is murder. I actually bribed my kid to try it on first for me to stretch it out just a tiny bit. Then it only took me 20 minutes to get on instead of 40.
I haven't tried on the dread sausage like knee skin yet. I'm just using my kid's suit that will have seen a few meets.
Agreed! My husband had to help me the 1st time. I had the mother of all muffin tops. Ugh.
Based on your former picture, I find this impossible to believe.
The proof of the muffin top is in the pudding.
Please post any picture of your comely abdominal regions showing anything remotely resembling a muffin top.
I know muffin tops, Big Noodler.
Muffin tops are a friend of mine.
You are no muffin top.
Funny how history repeats itself. We could have heard this same conversation between women 150 years ago except they would have been talking about corsets!

No kidding! I am going to have a date with a swimming buddy to squeeze ourselves into our new, and smaller size b70's that we bought for nats. I'll put another suit on under, and get it as far up as I can before getting into the pool. The B70's seem stretch in the water pretty well. I'm not looking forward to it, but we might as well giggle at ourselves while we are suffering.
If I want to look good I'll take extra time in the locker room after the meet.
All the extra time in the locker room wouldn't help me look good, no matter what I did.
I don't care what they look like, they feel great and make you swim fast!

Okay, but you said you wanted a muffin top. Are you going to attempt to shove it down there?
You can get glute implants if you really want a "junk in the trunk" redux. Muffin tops at the waistline are pretty much genetically predisposed. I know some very skinny teen-age girls who have them and have almost gone anorexic to get rid of them. Even though almost all their body fat is gone the crazy muffin tops are still there.

I'm sure there's a genetic factor, just like some men are prone to beer bellies, but I wonder if part of it is being "skinny fat." You know, they don't weight much, but still have a fair body fat pct. because they aren't fit. I don't see too many elite female runners (or swimmers) with muffin tops, after all!
