Hip and Butt Pads

[Julie York]

Just a passing thought. If you wear breast forms and hip and butt pads you are pretty unsinkable.
That should be a comforting thought to any deep sea CD fishermen out there.

[Julie Gaum]

That really is comforting to remember on my next flight over water. But then from Zen teachings: "Never test the depth of water with both feet."

[Julie York]

Your Zen is very wise, but you can not spoil my mental image of The Deadliest Catch :)

Hi Julie , I Never go boating without my PFD's.

[Beverley Sims]

So was Molly Brown. :)

Julie

I happen to know of someone who went swimming and had an unfortunate accident. No not that kind of accident but her one of her breast forms popped out.

It sank ............oops

[Monique53]

I don't think that silicone floats!

[Kate Simmons]

Well they can keep us afloat (pun intended) Red Shoes but only Molly Brown was truly "unsinkable".:battingeyelashes::)

[Tina B.]

My hip and Butt pads are foam, like a sponge, do you think I might go down quicker, when they fill with water, should I forget about the CD cruise I was thinking about finding?

[Kate Simmons]

Not if you make them from cork Tina.:)

[Julie York]

That makes a lot of sense now. That's why on fishing boats you see that sign, "Breast forms should not be worn on deck." It's amazing what you learn here.

[Marleena]

I think everybody with silicone forms will be running to the bathtub to see if they do sink or float.:D

The suckers are heavy..

I love Molly Brown as much as I loved the ship.

If we could get the "rubber boobies" to float high,then the "fat pants" I am designing out of recycled wetsuits,won't drown a person by flipping them to a "butt up position in the water!

[Tina B.]

Maybe I should go back to balloons, I guess water filled could be optional, although they don't look very natural, they would float.
Cork sounds pricey Kate, at my size it would take a lot of cork to work, and even more to get enough to float.
Even if Silicon does float, it's also known to spring leaks isn't it.

Meanwhile.....Dr Von Drake conducts secret experiments with a bra and size 36D forms.

[SometimesDiana]

The specific gravity of silicone is 1.07... so it would indeed sink.

Now for the big engineering question:

Assume you are sitting in a canoe, in a swimming pool. If you pull out your silicone breast forms and toss them into the water, then what will happen to the water level in the pool? Will it go up or down?

[Julie York]

Down.
No..UP.
No...no...I mean down.

[reb.femme]

Neither, displacement is the same.

:doh: Nothing, once the ripples subside. Us old navy gals have seen this one before.

:heehee: Julie that picture has me in stitches.
