    That was so funny. One day the designers will get mature like us and I hope they will then start designing for us. Not sure I can wait that long. I figure it's a good reason not to go near water unless it's coming from the shower head in my bathroom.

    I have to say that lands end is the one exception to the rule where the legs are not cut up too high and the suits come with built in cups. If it wasn't for that one store... I would be crying instead of laughing. I love to swim...

    Thanks for the laugh! Been there done that, at least five years into the cut off and tee-shirt mode.

    I bought the kind two-piece affair with a shorts-style bottom and a loose blouse-type top. It was not transparent in water, I hope.

    Ditter, I am laughing so hard, I'm crying!!! If my neighbors could hear me, they would think I've lost my mind.

    I don't even attempt to go bathing suit shopping anymore...why do they make you go up 3 sizes from your normal size, anyway!!

    But I did encounter this same NASA rubber band slingy effect which I tried the "AH Bra"!!
