However lynnr54 has just posted that she has just purchased a new dry suit and I have yet to see any lady with any "female shape" in a dry suit.
So the first question to lynnr54 should be, are you only looking for opinions on female BC's because someone has suggested you should buy one or because they are "designed" for ladies. |
Most ladies drysuits, if they are fitted correctly, should be shaped for the bust. If it isn't, then what is the point is drysuit manufacturers making either MTM or ladies cut. I wouldn't say that i am exactly small in that department, but all my wetsuits and drysuits fit, and are shaped to accomodate Scubees Boobies (the real ones, not the ones on the pic that some killjoy moaned about).
i find ladies cut wetsuits, swimsuits, drysuits and BCD's a lot more comfortable than making do with one that is not specifically designed for women.
T*ts weren't designed to squish into small places, and if they are, there is the possibility of an increased risk of DCI. Didn't one of our pot tech post about women and chest bends a couple of days ago?
