For My Protection
I had a blog worthy morning at the gym again today. Actually it started on Saturday when I spent two hours trying on bathing suits until my skin was raw. Finally I decided on a boring Speedo based purely on the comfortable non-wedge-inducing fit.
So why, I wondered only a few minutes into my WaterFit class, was it giving me such a terrible wedge in use? Did I accidentally buy the wrong size? Did it shrink? Then I remembered...
I don't think they do this with men's bathing suits, but women's suits are sold with a crotch shaped safety sticker that clearly says REMOVE AFTER PURCHASE, to keep you from getting/spreading cooties while trying them on. Well I guess I forgot to remove the safety seal and only realize while the suit was in action in the pool.
I tried to figure out a way to discreetly rip it out under water but soon gave up and just agonized through the rest of the class. Now not only am I in pain, but the cootie fear alert level is pretty high. But chlorine kills cooties pretty good, doesn't it, I mean that's why they put it IN the pool in the first place, right?
