With the...Hey - sorry for the delay in responding! With the holidays, I got a little busy with family stuff.<br /><br />Wetsuits are THE WORST to shop for. Even swimsuit shopping is easier than wetsuits. I feel your pain.<br /><br />For men's vs women's suits: I think the major difference is that they are cut more straight in the torso (men's), where as women's are cut for hips and have more of an hour glass shape. But for a more athletic woman with less of an hourglass shape, or a women just needing a larger overall size option, this is likely not an issue as long as you don't size up too large.<br /><br />I loved my Synergy suit. Overall it fit great and wore well. To be honest, though, after having a baby I haven't had time to do as much training and racing as I used to (and also COVID has totally stopped all that anyway), so I haven't used it much in the last few years.<br /><br />I would suggest calling Wetsuit Outlet and see what they say about sizing for you. They were super helpful when I talked to their customer service back when I posted this blog, so hopefully they can point you in the right direction. I'm not sponsored by them or anything, so this is totally my unbiased opinion. <br /><br />https://wetsuitoutlet.com/<br /><br />Good luck! I hope you find the right fit! Let me know how it works out.<br />Shinianenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340969239524875329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382082974834241133.post-57092966315664226192020-12-22T18:47:24.101-08:002020-12-22T18:47:24.101-08:00Girl!

Although, I did not know that the sweating was normal and so maybe I didn't try hard enough. But it is very very very unmotivating to struggle so much. Anyway, it seems I may be bigger than you, so the Sunergy people said I may want to try a Men's L1 or L2. Did you ever find that men and women's fits were really that different? How is your Synergy Endorphin suit working out. Here are my measurements--I'm all ears for any advice you can spare!!! <br />Bust: 47'<br />Waist: 42'<br />Hips: 50'<br />Weight: 230lbs<br />Height 5'7"<br />Thanks!!<br />Jennjennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981106768978966600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382082974834241133.post-57632091057943021072017-03-12T05:04:31.639-07:002017-03-12T05:04:31.639-07:00good productgood productlizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035184100892779826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382082974834241133.post-12187114070261814892017-02-24T17:08:22.891-08:002017-02-24T17:08:22.891-08:00This really is the worst possible case senerio.

Then, you have folks like my mother-in-law who are in terrible health and want an "easy button" - yet she refuses to take half the medication her doctor prescribes for her anyways because she disagrees with the diagnosis. So basically my MIL has created the worst of all worlds for herself.

What if I wanted to add an item to my set that isn't available on the INKnBURN polyvore page? How do I grab the item off their website? I thought it might work like Pinterest but it doesn't. So I feel like I'm missing something that's probably obvious.

Here are a few ways to step up the gaudiness: 1) Wear dress socks with your sneakers, 2) Try to be more mismatched (e.g. a polka dot top with plaid bottoms), 3) Fit is everything, you gotta wear clothing that is either two sizes too small, or at least five sizes too big. If you can combine opposite nonsizing together, even better!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382082974834241133.post-22692734943561017692016-10-27T13:19:23.368-07:002016-10-27T13:19:23.368-07:00You know - child birth for me was more scary sound...You know - child birth for me was more scary sounding beforehand than it actually was day of.

I'm here to tell you, it's not always SO bad! :-) Just bribe yourself with some cheese for afterwards. Or cheesecake. Or both. And a pizza.
