Oh yes! #metoo I find such photos very disturbing!

I mean, quite often, women's "satin" panties are actually just Lycra as well. Maybe the percentile composition of it might be slightly different but it's basically the same and hence they're often known as "delicates". That's why those special lingerie laundry mesh bags exist, to protect the delicate lingerie in the washing machine.

That's also the reason why I manicure/take care of my hands' skin as well, to minimize the chances of any of my Lycra stuff snagging / pilling.
It's always such a petpeeve of mine when I see online photography of girls in Lycra...and then they have the girl seated on something like a tree or some industrial pallet and then I think to myself "Oh well...there goes another pair of silky Lycra leggings ruined and wasted 😣 ( c'mon, rough tree bark and splintered industrial wood, might as well rub the leggings on sandpaper).

Tbf they're not lycra/spandex fetishist like us.

But their photography is supposedly aimed at us.
Knowing your target audience is half the battle.

I'm planning to get a made to measure leotard from Hirogato. I'm torn apart between getting one with back zippers or shoulder zippers. Does anyone have any experiences with shoulder zippers that can share with me.
The leotard I'm going to get is semi matte btw.

Since I saw Pengu swimsuits, I'm definitely interested in the shoulder zips!

Do you have any experiences with shoulder zipper swimsuits/leotards?

Unfortunately, no, so far. I'm waiting for our Chinese friends from Leohex, Amoresy or similar.

Don't get the shoulder zipper from Hirogato. Just don't. It was a huge disappointment for me.
For a made to measure leotard, I was expecting it to be extremely tight, but it was... well, it fits well....
I honestly don't know what I was expecting.

Hang on, those two are mutually exclusive. Made to measure can not, should not, must not be extremely tight. It should be very comfortable, as if you are not wearing anything.
