Something AKPENISDUDE and Caldumb are intimately familiar with...

Quote
There are endless hacks you learn as a gymnast. Sweaty palms? A generous layer of chalk will fix that. Need something to keep the bottom lining of your leotard in place? Here, try handy "butt glue."

"Butt glue," as it's commonly called in the sport, comes in many forms, but the most popular I've heard of as a former gymnast is Tuf-Skin. Haley Graham (Missy Peregrym) explains the concept perfectly in Stick It, THE gymnastics film of gymnastics films. "It's just this sticky stuff you spray on your butt so the leotard doesn't ride up," she says. The particular product linked to above doubles as spray adherent base for athletic tape.

2008 Olympian Alicia Sacramone Quinn said via email that she used to apply Tuf-Skin specifically, and she also pointed out that over the years, leotard companies have improved the fit of their leotards (GK Elite told BuzzFeed in a 2012 interview that it's all about engineering and testing). Rutgers gymnastics head coach Umme Salim-Beasley, too, said she used Tuf-Skin during her years as a collegiate gymnast, but relied on hairspray earlier in her career. Other similar products exist that are advertised as roll-on body adhesives.

Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

I bet AKPENISDUDE and friends can get their leotards off in a hurry though.

Wonder how much glue you'll reckon she'll need?



A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

It would probably be best to purchase it in 5 gallon bucket or 55 gallon drum quantities.

My first cousin competed in the Miss America pageant years ago. They used the same stickum stuff in the swimsuit competition
