    Triplette FIE Stretch Unitards

    Triplette Lames make me believe they use a sack of potatoes for a
    mannequin... but then their website shows this cute, busty 4'2" girl
    with a skin tight uniform.

    Anyone know about their unitards?(Can't they come up with a better
    name?)

    I want it to be nice and tight and form fitting...but as I live in
    Arizona the prospect for a personal fitting isn't likely.

    Help?

    I had one for a couple of years. It was intensely difficult to take off and even harder to put back on on when I had to go to the bathroom during a tournament--I had to do some real wrestling, because the slightest sweatiness made it stick and turn inside out. It also revealed whether my underwear had polka dots or stripes. and gradually became too short in the trunk. Finally, people made unmerciful fun of me until it wore out--something about its cut seemed to bring out the nasty attitude in all my friends and acquaintances.

    Two people who fenced at my club have/had them. Both were short, <64", and quite slim. They liked the unitards. Nobody made fun of them, well, because they looked really good and the rest of us knew we wouldn't!

    Hmm seems to me that making fun of an A level sabreur is not a good
    idea.
    What were they saying? too tight and therefore too revealing? Or was it
    too loose and baggy and thus not flattering?

    I'm rather proud of how I look...took aa lot of effort to get there. I
    want their fie unitard...but am afraid that it wont be as form fitting
    as it was in their pics.

    Personally I don't give a pile of warm rubber dog**** what people
    think. As long as I like it...I'm paying for it right? :-)

    Any info you have about your experiences with it would be helpful. You
    may have hated it... but the whys and wherefores might just make ME
    like it.

    Thanks,

    If you like stuff that's hard to put on and take off, why don't you try
    Tripplette's latex unitard?

    I think it's a splendid idea. They turn a really hot
    shade of purple when you do it.

    Nah, that shade of purple is the color I turn whenever I exercise.

    That is indeed the gist of the matter. Makes a person look like a
    Teletubby...yes, even those who are "in shape".

    Schiavona, folks in your club must either be extraordinarily kind to
    each other or else are already inured to seeing each other in
    unflattering forms of dress---like parkas and mittens, maybe?

    I rather think teletubbies are just the sort of cute disguise I need to
    get close enough to my opponents to strike.

    Yes I will change my name from Magni... to Darth Tubby!!!!
