Am I the only person who didn't know this?

I love swimming when I go on holiday but have always hated the fact that if you pop to the loo while still wet you then have that thing of trying to pull the soggy swimsuit back up - it seems disproportionately impossible! II'm really not one for a bikini so summer after summer for the last 40 odd years have found myself virtually contorting myself in poolside toilets trying to get the wretched thing back on.

Yesterday I met a friend for a quick swim at the local pool - she had come on from a lunch party and was wearing her swimsuit under her clothes. When I expressed consternation (how did you manage to go to the loo all day without taking everything off?) she just looked at me as though I was mad and said "by pulling it to the side out of the way and just going - everyone does that, don't they?

Do they? It had never occurred to me! I can see that it makes absolute sense and would solve the issue, but until I get the chance to try I'm unconvinced about the logistics smile

I have always pulled the gusset of the costume to one side. It only works if you want a pee though.

So relieved (!) to hear people getting OUT of pool to pee as I've stopped going swimming since Rebecca Adlington said they all pee IN the pool
I thought I was the only one who left the pool to relieve myself
I was surprised because at the time there didnt seem to be much of a reaction to it

If you have problems with clothes and a slightly damp body, try a cool hairdryer over the offending areas. Works a treat. I do it regularly after a bath or a shower.
