Ultimate Coverup
Full-Body Swimsuit Leaves Everything To the Imagination

The makers of WholesomeWear swimsuits would like women to cover up their tummies. And their backs. And their arms. And half their legs. The Oregon company, based outside Portland, sells a collection of swimwear online that consists of a wet suit topped by a dress. The spandex underpinning is not sufficient on its own because bystanders would still be able to make out the curves of the woman's body. The nylon overdress takes care of any audacious display of an hourglass shape.

"I'm very surprised at the men who call because they don't want their wives and daughters running around in their underwear," Ferguson says.

4. American Taliban so right on point! Good one!

[Ilsa]

3. Wow! They let their women out of the house just to go swimming?

What is this world coming to? :sarcasm:

I don't suppose they are worried aobut women drowning while wearing that crap, as long as their modesty is preserved.

Hey, if they'l stay home from the beach, I'm fine with that. More room and sand for me and my neked family.

5. If you go to their site only models are teens and pre-teens

Strange....

6. Don't like the events of the last century?

Ignore them! By simply pretending the Twentieth Century never took place you can put all that annoying technology behind you. Prevent modernity from infecting your loved ones with unhealthy up to date ideas!

9. Put a few ruffles on those suits

And you have exactly what women wore at the turn of the last century!

I was part of the "surfer chick" set in the 70's and had a bikini for every day of the week and still managed to remain about as mentally modest as they come. I never once thought that showing full leg, belly or back was any big deal.

Going for a swim in one of those getups would be embarrassing.

We are going backward in more ways than swim attire, but this is fairly telling of how there's still, or again, a mindset that thinks controlling women is a good thing. I find that more disgusting than showing some skin at the freaking beach!

11. How long before * makes this the national swimsuit for Amerika?

13. from the pictures of his daughters... mmmm do not think they would

7. Sure sounds

like the burkha-fication of American women.

[fasttense]

8. Oh for gosh sakes, why don't they just pass a law that requires

every female to be covered in black robes from head to fit and be done with it. All this covering up of women is no different than the burka.

14. Aren't they made in God's image? What are they so embarrassed about?

Are they embarrassed with God? ;-)
