That Moment When...

...you have to peel the paper crotch liner out of the new swimsuit you just bought.

*shudder*

Surely waxy paper is far less hygienic than just letting whatever lurks in the crotches of mall swimsuits simply live in the spandex until we toss them into the washer with scalding hot water and extra detergent as soon as we get home. It seems to me that germs and other "things" would sit on top of waxy paper, just waiting to rub off on your panties' fabric, whereas "things" embedded in material are more separated from you and might stay where they are during the trying-on process. Yes?

The icky paper is there because some girls actually try on swimsuits without panties. Meanwhile, I cringe that the paper even touches my undies in the fitting room. Crinkle, crinkle. ACK.

Ever get a liner that is all stuck to itself at the store? You don't know whether to just rip that thing off or try to spread it back out. Well let me tell you... Unless you brought latex gloves and a barf bag, don't get too involved with that piece of paper. Take a hard look at that swimsuit. Is it really that cute? Yeah, there are a thousand flat pieces of waxy paper in a thousand swimsuits in the mall. Skip it.

You may even find the lucky swimsuit that doesn't have the paper at all.
