So I have never started a thread before - but here is something I have not seen before.......
My FS Pro came today - and I was told to go slowly and put it on and that it could take up to 30 minutes...... is that for real??
I am at 20 minutes and I am stuck at the hips - for real!
It is the high neck body skin..... and if that zipper was about 2 inches longer I could probably get it over my hips and I wouldn't be standing here with my butt hanging out waiting for a reply.
If I don't stop laughing I may split something. I know the elite swimmers don't have real hips - but does anyone out there have any suggestions and How long does it take on average to get in one?
I'll miss all my events at nationals just trying to get the suit on!!!!
They make a 30!!!!!!!!! Damn it! When I ordered it on the speedousa site it only went up to 29....... I think I could fit into a 30. I can fit into a 30 fs 2.... It's tight but... I can get it on.... This thing.... not going to happen.... I rather return it and get my money back then ripped and be out the money...
hi diva
what an ordeal
that was a great explanation for how to put on a FS
when I looked at the PROs at http://tinyurl.com/264te8
I noticed there was a 32 womens FS Pro Recordbreaker Bodyskin
it surprises me that 32 is the largest size they made
the largest FS Pro Highneck Bodyskin is 29, seems to me like
they might be ignoring the market for larger adult users
I think it's better to be zipped in rather than to have an open back
too bad the zippers didn't go lower
I think the LZRs will be even harder to put on
it might help to stretch out the suit
Good luck
Ande

Hey Ande,
I was looking for the Speedo FS Pro Highneck Bodyskin in a larger size.... don't think they make it.....
I also bought it off speedousa.com because the had a 40% off 2 day sale... FYI if you sign up for their mobile alert program they send deals to you specific to that sign up program as I found out.
In the kneeskin fs-pro bigger size, record breaker bigger size... no luck with high neck and that's what I wanted....
what a drag
fyi I had trouble getting my FS pro over my hips the first time I tried it on at home
my wife had a great time making fun of me

I used to sell nylon hosiery. Those are close to the directions for putting them on.
Don't give up.
What you need is a hip compactor it is similar to a shelf expander and is used in reverse. A sky hook may help also.
my kneeskin arrived today. there is a gap at the back of the butt, i think it would catch water. it was a 30 any help? it only took 7 minutes to put on. i'm wondering if i should try a 29 or 28long if any are left.
My FS Pro also gaps a little wee bit in the lowest back area. I hear that is not uncommon. It's up to you if you are comfortable with a little gap or if you think it's too much of a gap. All my other suits (all FS II) are the recordbreaker backs, which don't gap but also don't have that small lift factor from the zipper back.
I did not believe that sizing up or down would eliminate the gap, so I went with the smallest that I fit in, regardless of the small gap with was a L size.
You might also try hiking it up and around in the behind to lessen the gap. Is a long available in your current size? If not, try sizing down before sizing up if you can.
