Since zentai suits first appeared in sports and later as artistic image in manga and comics, more and more people have noticed this special clothes fashion style, and have curiosity for it, such as why do you like it, how does it feel to be encased in a suit, how do you breath in it, etc. Indeed when it comes to wear a fully cover costume, these are very practical questions, and in this article, here’s a brief opinion about breath in zentai costume.

To answer this question, we need to source back to the cloth material of zentai. But before this, do you still remember the ninja, which often shows in movies with their whole face covered except the eyes? Actually we all know that with one layer of cloth covered our face, the breath should not be a big problem for common people. Maybe this is far away from the dominate clothes fashion, or maybe the fully-covered human body creates a much vivid image, we have doubt for this issue seeing one person fully encased in the suit.

Comes back to the cloth material topic, most zentai suits are tailored by lycra spandex. This is a kind of highly elastic material, and most are very thin. Only very few outfits are tailored by thick lycra, mainly for special purposes. So generally speaking, the lycra tailored suits are not much thicker than silk, and to breath in it is totally no problem. There’s people ever worn seven layers of lycra costumes at the same time, and the breath is a little bit harder compared with only one layer, but it doesn’t cause much difficult, except you may need to take long breaths, or use mouth for it too. At the same time, shiny metallic zentai suits, is a little bit thicker than lycra, but to breath in one suit is no problem either.

What needs to get your attention is, if you are trying to wear a wet suit, or wear a suit then soak yourself including the head in water, you need to be more careful. Generally, to put on a wet lycra spandex hood, the breath becomes much more difficult, and you probably need to take long breath and use mouth for breath too. Hence to swim in a full body zentai suit, is something dangerous. Please you want to do this, please make the hood removable, and get yourself prepared so you won’t get panic caused by the sudden pressure of water and wet cloth. When it comes to swim, it’s better to make the gloves and feet removable for your lycra zentai suit too.

Mermaid skin-tight garment is full body zentai outfit with a cool mermaid like tail. And if you want to try swim in it, please make sure it is tailored by non-shiny metallic cloth, whose color will gets off in water. And trust me, no matter how fantastic or big you tailor the tail, it won’t give you much propulsion.

Different from some people like Lady Gaga, who has created the classic wear of flesh color zentai and jacket, and becomes a classic style in fashion world, most of us wear zentai suits only because we feel like it, and it brings us some fun. So never force yourself into a suit, and if you feel loving it and want to try one, you could begin with a thin lycra suit first, and for the first time’s wear, get yourself prepared at mind, and if it’s possible you could invite a friend to try the costume together with you, or stay nearby and share your happiness, and he could also help if anything, such as the suit too small, or zipper stuck.
