Swimsuit that Dries Itself

Posted by Queuebot in Science & Tech, Sports on March 10, 2009 at 12:17 pm



Sun Dry Swim has produced a swimsuit made of nanomaterials that repel water, so it never gets wet.  Water will just roll off of it, and it will be instantly dry, because technically it never got wet in the first place.

    I don't quite see the point of that... You're still wet...

    I guess it's handy for getting rid of that wet suit feel, but that's just part of the whole experience.

    Does it come with the gorgeous lady in the picture? Because I'd like too...

    I already invented this. I call it "plastic".

    @Chris

    If your referring to synthetic thermoplastic materials such as Polyester or Nylon, you'd be surprised how much water they actually absorb. Sure, they don't hold as much water as other fabrics (eg. cotton), but they don't repel it like this stuff supposedly does.

    @kev

    agree 1000%!

    Hmmm. I have a micro-weave raincoat that does the same thing.

    It was a joke. I had actual trash bags in mind when I made the comment. It's funny how things can seem useless on the surface. For instance, the pen that writes upside down (but the Russians used a pencil HAHA!)

    I'm surprised this didn't already exist given the liquid resisting materials already out there. I'm guessing the novelty of this is both thinness and pliability of the material.

    It's nice to see a model who's not rail-thin or emaciated for a change, too. What was this post about again?

    It will probably mutate you and give you a third boob or a third ball, too.

    @DOJ, please use a model to explain this new product.

    White swimsuits that go translucent when wet are much more useful, IMHO. Er, unless they're on men!

    I wonder if the constant repulsion of water between the suit and the body will make the suits slip right off.

    Jenny, you were not the only one to think that.
