Anyone care to take a bet on the suit passing muster in the home mirror? :-D

Last time i looked, there are certain rules that apply to trying on a swimsuit. Sanitary rules. I have no clue what they do with the suits returned to the store.

I looked it up and some stores, like Target and Walmart, allow swimsuit returns the same as any other item. The question is what do they do with them. Maybe if they have the tag and panty protection sticker on, then it’s put back on the floor. Or if it looks obviously used, they will throw it out. Only an employee would know. I have probably returned a swimsuit to Target because my teen needed a swimsuit last minute, and I had to use my best judgement on what she would like, but hey, teens don’t always like the same styles, so I returned some. So the policy makes sense. Everyone is supposed to keep their underwear on when trying on swimsuits. It looks and feels strange, but at least it is a layer of protection for both the person and the clothing item. For me, I wash everything before I wear it for the first time anyway, so if someone else tried it on first, it wouldn’t matter because it would be washed anyway. We can’t eliminate all possibilities of germs and washing gets out the worst ickiness.

Hello Cathy friends! Happy Thursday! Have a great day, all!

Some stores really did have “skinny mirrors” that were slightly convex to make you look thinner.

Well, all I can say is that it’s about time! Fingers crossed that Cathy has officially found the “perfect” bathing suit for her so that we can finally move on to a different (and hopefully better) storyline because it’s been a very L-O-N-G three weeks spent on this one and I’ve been more than ready for her to move on to a new topic for the last TWO of them!

Hi, rgcviper! :-)

Hello and Happy Friday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope you all had a really nice day today! ♥

From a sales standpoint? Not a great turn of events.

From the perspective of Cathy’s mental well-being? (What’s left of it, anyway—ha) Probably not a bad idea.

HI, MOM. Happy Friday, Clan.

I once talked to a clerk in a store where they sold bathing suits…she said it was disgusting just returning the suits to the rack after they had been tried on. People don’t keep their underwear on or use the liners to try the suits on and she said the most disgusting of all were the thongs. BUT they return them to the rack regardless….YUCK.
