How Do Those Figure Girls Keep Their Tiny Suits in Place? Bikini Bite
Answer: Bikini Bite. I decided to write this post because a) Bodybuilding.com sent me an email requesting a review (I recently bought a bottle through them); and 2) a friend asked me how I kept my suit in place at my recent competition. I remember when I started out wondering the same thing myself and I had never heard of Bikini Bite. So here goes!
If you are new to competition you are probably not familiar with Pro Tan’s Bikini Bite. This is a roll on “glue” product that you can apply safely to your skin in order to “fix” your tiny, tiny (!) competition suit in place so it doesn’t hike up on you and expose (ahem!) something at the wrong time and place such as on stage during pre-judging or during the evening show. It is relatively inexpensive and a “must have” item if you are competing. One 3-oz bottle will last you through a whole season of competition. You can purchase it right here on Bodybuilding.com for about $6/bottle. The downside of this product is that it isn’t a true “glue” and this means that if you move around too much or for too long things will become unstuck. Bikini Bite works best when you apply the product to your skin and press in place your suit just before stepping on stage. The product is mild so you can reapply Bikini Bite as needed over the course of the day without worrying about any irritation to your sensitive skin. Bikini bite washes completely off your skin or suit with mild soap and warm water.
I have used Bikini Bite several bottles at different times now and have had no problems with it. I think it is a great product if you understand that it is not “super glue” or epoxy. Most women use it to hold their suit bottom in place but I have also used it to hold my suit top in place as well.
One quick note: If you care at all about your health don’t even consider applying 3M adhesive or other similar products to your skin. They weren’t made for that purpose and DO contain toxic materials. Your skin is an organ and whatever you apply to it will enter your body.
