So this site shows you a bunch of different bathing suits and gives you videos of the models doing “tests” to see how the suits perform.  Like ”the stretch test”, “the jump test”, or “the fruit test”, which is apparently a test to see how you’d look holding fruit in a bathing suit, and no, I’m totally not kidding.  And I don’t mean like hoarding fruit by sticking it inside the bathing suit because that would almost make sense.  I mean, just holding fruit.  In your hand.    Personally, I’ve never found myself looking as a swimsuit and wondering ”But, how would I look carrying a kumquat in it?” but apparently this is a big issue for someone. Still, I can’t help but think that this would’ve been more useful if they’d used real people in normal life situations.  Like maybe a chick in a one-piece who looks exactly like me at her community pool leans over to see why her child’s ass seems to be exploding and then she realizes that her husband failed to put a swimming diaper on the kid and so now the diaper is soaking up all the pool water and expanding like a giant mushroom cloud and the kid is looking at you like “What the fuck is happening to my junk?!” and you’re all, “Don’t panic!  Walk slowly toward the bathroom!” but the kid is like “Pick me up!  I’m being eaten by my diaper!” and so you do but then the pressure makes the diaper seams burst and now you’re covered with the gel stuff from inside the diaper, which, it turns out is like a bluish crystally-jelly and you’re repulsed and fascinated all at the same time and you run to the bathroom and the crystal-jelly stuff is leaking out behind you like a trail of breadcrumbs and the lifeguard is giving you the stink-eye and you finally get to the bathroom and the gel inside the diaper is continuing to expand and so as soon as you take off the kid’s suit the diaper rips open from the sheer internal pressure and lands with a splat and the jelly sprays all over everything and then your childless neighbor from down the street walks in and sees you bending over in the middle of the bathroom, splattered with diaper filling, trying desperately to use wads of brown paper towels to clean the probably cancerous crystal-jelly off a naked toddler and you try to smile at her like this is the sort of thing that happens all the time and you consider standing up to explain that this is all your husband’s fault but before you can straighten up your kid sees your boob perched precariously at the edge of your bathing suit and punches it and then it falls out of the top of your bathing suit.  And then your neighbor rushes out of the bathroom and you want to scream at her, ”Don’t run from me, bitch!  BEHOLD!  THIS. IS. YOUR. FUTURE!”  

But yeah, the “walking around holding fruit” test is a good one too. 

PS.  On the 11th swimsuit, the model takes “the apple test” and clearly picks up an orange and walks around with it.  Fail.

PPS.  That swimsuit story totally happened to me in real life except for the part about me yelling at my neighbor that this would happen to her too one day.  That part just happened in my head several minutes later.   In real life I just cried a little.

PPPS.  This is totally unrelated but I don’t think it warrants a whole post so can I just say here that I know my eye is doing weird stuff but I’m not drunk.  Because if you meet me in real life you may sometimes be like, “What is her eye doing?  Why is it blinking longer than the other one?  Is she winking at me?”  And no, I’m not winking at you.  Just, when I get tired my eyes get sticky and then when I blink they get stuck together and I have to try really hard to open them and they pop open at slightly different speeds.  I’m not drunk or trying to pick you up.  I’m just tired and…sticky.  Shut up.

PPPPS.  Did I just apologize for going off on an unrelated tangent in the middle of a post that’s basically an unrelated tangent?  That seems unnecessary.  If anything I should apologize for the post.  And probably all the other posts on this blog.  Except the one where I posted a picture of that tiny sasquatch because I’m pretty sure that was an important contribution to science.

Comment of the day: This fruit test is brilliant! I think I might like to expand it into many areas of my life to judge whether or not something is acceptable or even preferable to me:

Guy: So, um, hey. Do you maybe wanna catch a movie sometime or something?

Me: Here. Hold this orange. ~Lesley

Um, oh. Wow.

I got nothing.

Except that I once put swim diapers on my twins in place of nighttime diapers because we had run out and were too lazy to run to the Kroger before bedtime for nighttime diapers. And you know? Swim diapers suck balls as nighttime diapers. Niagra Falls busted out all over their cribs.

Can I just leave a lame as shit comment and say that if I had the boobage for my kid to punch out of a bathing suit I would probably die of happiness.

And yes, diaper gel gunk = Satan’s boogers. Very unpleasant, completely disgusting – albeit slightly fascinating to poke.

6 I can't read my nametag September 23, 2008 at 6:01 pm

That site’s really cool but it could be so much more helpful. As nice as it is to know that you can walk or spin or lie down on a towel or catch a beach ball* or hold a piece of fruit that may or may not be an apple, all while wearing the swimsuit, I’d much prefer to know how successful it is at repelling sharks. And giant squids. And maybe babies in expanding diapers.

*Seriously, some of the suits feature a little video clip for “The Ball Test.” Feel free to make up your own joke here.

7 Captain Dumbass September 23, 2008 at 6:03 pm

I love the way they walk when the diaper fills with water, like they just finished a long horse ride. Or like they’re little sumo wrestlers. Oh, and thanks for directing me to a page that stretch tests bathing suits.

They should add a “jumping into the pool with your two piece on and seeing how much of your boob hangs out” test. If they had that it might have saved me a lot of embarrassing situations.

9 Undomestic Diva September 23, 2008 at 6:05 pm

Personally, I’m only buying a bathing suit if I preview what it’ll probably look like when it creeps up into your ass crack… on one side only… revealing a rather round and dimply (but not in a cute, baby butt sort of way) flabby ass that hasn’t seen the gym in a whole… EVER, with an extra bonus up-close photo of the inside of your thigh after a bikini shave gone bad, complete with razor burn and stray forgotten pubes poking their way through the swimsuit material and standing erect, causing your sarong to snag like it’s doing battle with the rough end of velcro. Now that’d be helpful.

10 AV Flox September 23, 2008 at 6:05 pm

I have never, ever, ever wanted kids. I can’t have any, anyway, so that worked out really well for me. But reading your blog, I almost want kids. Almost!

I want to meet you! I also really want to buy diapers right now and put them in the toilet or tub or fountain and watch them explode with blue crystal stuff. Hahahaha!!!!

I would click over and look at the site but it is a well known fact that websites that carry swimsuits run away from me screaming in horror.

I think I give them a virus, or something and
I’m pretty much blackballed across the internet at this point.

I blame it on the fact that I have the muscle-tone of headcheese.

Yeah, that happened to me too. Not the sticky eye thing, but the diaper thing. (By the way, maybe you should have that looked at, you know, the eye thing.) But, it wasn’t the exact same situation. Of course not, because that would be totally trippy, but a very similar situation in which I dealt with the horrifying blue, crystally, jelly toxic shit they put in diapers. And to think we are all fine with putting those onto our babies butts! OK, not really fine, because it would be much better if they just came out potty trained, right from the womb.

PS, thank God my children are out of the diaper stage!!

Ok, my 3rd (AND LAST) child – the one currently in diapers – seems to be a magnet for that gel shit. Either he has an abnormally large bladder and therefore expels gallons of pee overnight, or, the more expensive diapers suck just as much as the cheapo diapers. I dunno.

I’d still look like fat pear holding an orange, if I were so inclined to do so whilst wearing a swimsuit, which I’m not, so I guess it’s a moot point.

Perhaps if I stood there holding a watermelon, people might be less inclined to stare at the bands of hanging cellulite which cling to my thighs like bugs to spiderwebs.

Nope, on second thought I’d have to hold something bigger than a watermelon and I don’t know any fruit bigger than watermelons.

As long as it’s only water, the gel stuff is sorta cool. And it’s outside the house. We should petition that site for the ‘knuckle sandwich to boob’ test to test the potential for floppage.

25 Missie September 23, 2008 at 6:31 pm

Perhaps if I spent more time holding fruit instead of say, a jelly donut, I would look better in a swimsuit.

Is it considered child abuse to let your child wade in a stream with a regular diaper on, just to see the look of horror on his face when it starts expanding? Because I have totally never done that. It was a friend of mine. Yeah. A friend.

At least it was your boob and not your ass cheek. Although, ass cheeks don’t have nipples. So, depend on where your line gets drawn for ‘embarrassing’ it could go either way. Personally, I would have pointed out to my daughter that some day, I’d punch her boob out of her suit. Just as a thank you. You know? That’s what moms are for.

you’ve really researched that swimsuit website, no? Did you ever find one that would keep your boob in cuz the nasty crystally jelly stuff ruined my last suit! We go on vacation in 3 weeks and I could use it! Oh yeah, it must also pass the grapefruit test!

28 MommyTime September 23, 2008 at 6:34 pm

THAT would be a real swimsuit test.

It’s a pity my dog didn’t choose a swim diaper to ingest when she went attacked and killed a diaper as if it were a small rodent last year. Because if she’d chosen a swim diaper, we wouldn’t have had to spend $400 at the vet getting her feverish self flushed of its ever-expanding-gel contents. Damn super-absorbent diapers. Only people who refuse to change their children’s diapers more than once a day need diapers that absorbent. Do all of us, our dogs, and our swimsuits a favor, Devil Diaper Makers, and cut back on the gel filling!

Personally, I will buy a single item of swimwear unless I’m sure I’ll look amazing holding an apple.

Hmm, that gel crystal stuff is really weird. A ‘friend’ of mine thought it was hilarious to send me a free incontinence pad sample.
I thought it was funny too. Until my younger brother decided to ‘test’ the pad by pouring water on it until it could hold no more, then throwing it at me. It shattered into a zillion little gel crystal things upon impact. And of course, he managed to record this all on his camera phone.
Cross your fingers that he isn’t cruel enough to post that on the internet.

44 bejewell September 23, 2008 at 7:06 pm

Here’s my theory. The crystal gel stuff is really alien shit. Tiny aliens live inside diapers because they are soft and warm and moist and that’s the kind of environment where tiny aliens thrive, and they leave tiny gel-like turds before they sneak off into, well, I don’t really want to know where. I mean, considering that they reside inside warm, moist diapers it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that they’re crawling up little baby asses and doing God knows what in there.

Or possibly they are eggs. Maybe tiny sasquatch eggs?

Also, I made all of that up. But aliens DO really scare the shit out of me.

Um, me neither.

I once got a bogus pack of diapers, where every diaper had a small slash in it, thus releasing the crystal goo everytime it was slightly peed in. Made that discovery at Pizza Hut, as my daughter left a trail of cancerous breadcrumbs about the restaurant. Nice.

Because my first thought on the “fruit test” was how it would look on a drag queen.
I kid you not.

I blame this on touring Zappos.com over the weekend and walking by the aisle that had shoes lined up all along the cube walls that were drag-queen sized pumps. Nice pumps. Heck, stunning pumps. Just on the overly large scale.
Sasquatch-sized pumps. Not mini-sasquatch.

Have I mentioned how much I love this blog post? Oh. Well. Yeah. I totally do.

They really should have a “does this show too much of my pubic hair” test on this website? That’s generally my main concern…maybe they could call it the grass test or the “this girl needs to go get waxed ASAP” test. I think I went too far with this comment…haha

oh my. i can’t figure out if i’m crying or laughing right now. i’m forwarding you to my husband. who, by the way, has never forgotten littlest’s swim diaper but has attempted to feed her a dog treat while hopped up on pain meds from a severely strained back. apparently she was standing next to the dog & he aimed for the wrong mouth? not real sure. perhaps it’s a man thing.

brandi’s last blog post..coincidence…?

81 Mojo September 23, 2008 at 8:48 pm

Now see, a much more useful test would be the “Drop Test” commonly applied to lingiere lingere lingire fuckit nighties. With the garment held at approximately shoulder height, release it with both hands simultaneously and observe how gracefully it falls to the floor, and how appealing it is once it has come to rest. A properly designed item should float gently to earth, and the very best will “accordion” upon landing. The same benchmark should probably not be applied to swimwear however, given the great difference in material densities and aerodynamic properties. I would have to conduct exhaustive research to arrive at a suitable standard. Any volunteers and/or grant donors are welcome.

anyhow…can’t figure out if i’m crying or laughing over here about your swim diaper debacle. i’m forwarding it to my husband right now. i can’t say that my husband has ever forgotten littlest’s swim diaper but he did try to feed her a dog treat one time while he was hopped up on pain meds for a severely strained back. apparently she was standing next to the dog & he chose the wrong mouth? not real sure there. men. can’t live with ‘em…can’t kill spiders without ‘em.

84 Jill/Twipply Skwood September 23, 2008 at 8:56 pm

I think they just forgot to spread that gel stuff in the stretch test.

I was really glad you put this part in though: “the probably cancerous crystal-jelly” because I kept thinking of the diaper cancer the whole time until I got to that part.

Not that I’m cynical or paranoid or anything. But it probably does cause cancer, after all. Or liver disease. Or diabetes. Or secondary infertility. Or something.

I wonder if they sprayed some of that sticky stuff on their booties that the gymnasts use to get their leotards not to crawl up their butt?

Oh also just note to any teachers that are reading – somebody told me once that the fake snow that you can buy (Steve Spangler has it and not sure who else) to “teach” warm weather kids about snow is really the same stuff as the cancer-gel-crystals.

So you can cut open a diaper to dupe kids into thinking they’ve seen snow instead of buying those expensive kinds in a jar.

And here’s a gross little tidbit… one time my SIL forgot to pack diapers when they went to watch her oldest’s soccer game. Her youngest filled and filled and filled his one little diaper, until it was leaking out the sides and then, yeah, exploded the goo.

Pool water goo explosion? Pretty gross. PEE goo explosion? Absolutely disgusting.

That is quite possibly the worst thing I’ve ever seen (the site you linked to, not your post- your post was genius).

They need more realistically shaped women doing the stretch test so we can see what falls out. Cause watching a skinny chick stretch while wearing a bikini is just lame. Lame, I tell you. And watching her pick up fruit was almost more than I could bear.

Fruit test? They should shove it in the bra cups to see what “size” would fit. Then I could simply jump to the “cantaloupe” option to shop. That would be helpful. And fun, to see fruit sticking out of bathing suits.

My dad failed to change me into a swim diaper once. When mine was full-to-bursting, I climbed up one of those triangular antennas (antenni?) and got stuck half way up our house. Picture that. A one year old in a bloated diaper stuck 10 feet off the ground in the middle of the antenna. Try convincing the neighbours we aren’t rednecks then.

The bathing suit test idea is a great concept, though!
There should be tests for:
(1) whether you can sit on a slatted pool chair without having the swimsuit go up either crack (front or back)
(2) whether you can wear a swimsuit top one size too small (cuz it makes your rack look good) and get a beer out of a cooler without your boob falling out
(3) whether the suit will stay on while you’re carrying a watermelon (shout out to previous commenter Ingrid)

omg! You are soooo freaking funny. You are my new best friend! No, really you are. People will ask, “hey what are you doing tonight?” and I’m like, “oh I’m gonna hang out with Jenny from the blog”.

I think the stretch test needs to be a little more vigorous. I mean how else am I supposed to know if my boobs will pop out when doing jumping jacks (because I do jumping jacks in bikinis a lot). And what if I bend over to pick something up and that sucker rides up baring my butt cheeks.
I mean c’mon if you’re going to do tests. Lets do some TESTS for fucks sake.

Maybe they include the apple because it is “Women’s Health” Magazine and they had to relate something in it to health, so they threw in an apple.

OMG, that bathing suit site is crazy! I like the “pail” test where she just walks around with it and holds the shovel up. Ummm…build a sand castle in that suit bitch and see how it holds up!

167 Sallyacious September 24, 2008 at 4:07 pm

So I swear I checked your blog just before I went to bed last night and there was nothign new here, and suddenly there’s an entirely new post with seventy bajillion comments and I’m wondering how that happened. It’s like your most recent post leapt into some kind of wormhole in the spacetime continuum and only popped up again just now. Only then all of the commenters must have had access which leads me to ponder yet again why nobody tells me anything, including how to get into the spacetime continuum wormholes where your posts hide until they’re ripe, and I just feel like nobody loves me anymore and I’d like a hug, please. And maybe an eclair.

Then again, I could be high.

I’m sure I can’t add anything that hasn’t already been said by the masses ahead of me other than to just chime in on how the lack of overall periods in that post made me feel strangely calm and as if I was being snuggled in a warm embrace or perhaps a downy comforter on a cold winter’s night and if it were a winter’s night then I wouldn’t have any business wearing a swimming suit which is good because swimming suits and I do not get along even though we’ve tried we just don’t and, really, the same goes for fruit and me, even though a frozen grapes are good from time to time, so now I will go see if any of these testers are man-handling a grape in their jaunty suits. Thank you.

Thanks so much! This Mama really needed that. Glad these things don’t just happen to me. (wipes tears from laughing so hard) Damn! So me! I sent a few too many diapers through the wash in my extreme fatigue. Talk about a mess… they are fine until you try to remove them from the washer and explode… even after the spin cycle… good times.

170 Martie September 24, 2008 at 7:40 pm

I try to skip swim suit season totally–but in Texas its hard. My guy must be blind–cause he proposed AFTER seeing me in a swimsuit. 4 kids later. It wasnt pretty. I am a lucky, lucky, luck girl (thats how they say it on Sponge Bob)!~

You’re awesome. I love your posts.

172 Sprite's Keeper September 24, 2008 at 8:15 pm

I don’t think this is amusing at all. In fact, I am printing this post out to serve as a reminder to my husband of “Look what could happen!” since he seems to think a regular diaper would suffice in a swimming pool. He’ll complain that nothing will happen and I will point to this post and tell him, “Well, the Bloggess’s husband did it and look what happened to her!” And then he’ll point out that he doesn’t have boobs, but by then, he’ll just be comparing apples and oranges.

They should also do the “DDs + deep V halter suit + BIG-ASS WAVE” test. Mine failed. Luckily I had a friend with exceptionally sensitive hooter radar standing right next to me and he popped my boob back in before I even knew what had happened. I laughed my ass off. That suit failed on another level too… as my friend and I sat on the sand and let the waves wash over our legs…. the lining of the suit filled with sand! When I stood up I looked like I’d either laid an egg or taken a shit. I’m not sure which I prefer. I had to wade out far enough for the water to conceal my lady goods and turn the crotch of the suit inside out, stretch it, and shake. It looked very classy, I’m sure… and I wan’t 100% certain I wasn’t giving a free hoohoo show. I haven’t worn it since…. but then… I haven’t gone anywhere swimsuit-worthy since.

I’m only 35. I don’t have “boobs”, its more like I have 2 extra long tube socks – each containing approximately 2/3 cup of sand.

I’ve been having a similar problem with my eyes recently – one of the lids refuses to stay open. Makes me look like I am winking all the time. Or else I wear an eye patch, which makes me look like a pirate.

Oh, and I think you set a new world’s record for the longest run-on sentence ever. You ought to submit that to Guiness. Or just get a six-pack for tonight.

did you know that the gel in those diapers will start on FIRE if you put it in the microwave. I was shocked that there weren’t any warnings on the diaper packaging regarding this hazard.

Right, except that most people wouldn’t microwave diapers.

184 Janine September 25, 2008 at 6:24 am

The first experience I had with those gel ball things from diapers, I was totally freaked out and thought my son’s pee had crystallized into gel balls. They were stuck to his bum and his upper legs and his junk, and I was like, how hell do I get this stuff off???

Into the tub he went.

Who knew diapers were so mysterious.

That whole feature freaks me out, it reminds me of the newspaper Harry Potter reads. Where the people in the pictures were sort of trapped in the paper, repeating the same action over and over.

Also, having spent WAY too much time over there, I have to say that the Pail test for the Next by Athena suit is totally biased because she’s also carrying a shovel.

I went down the hall, climbed on my bosses desk, unzipped and while I was dousing him with a liberal amount of my kidney’s by products I was telling him about the post.

If you’re going to conduct a fruit test for swimwear, shouldn’t the fruit be melons? I’m just saying.
