It’s been real warm at my house the past few days (106F/41C last Saturday) so I decided to hang out by a pool. A number of people were asking about swimming with mones on, so I decided to test. At various locations on my arms, I applied sprays of P74, P79, A1 (didn’t want the added scent in IFM), IS, IO, and NPA uncovered. Then there was the 20 minute drive to the resort where I have a membership. I hung out by the pool in the shade (Doc has me on some old fart medication that makes me more sensative to the sun, and I can’t drink grapefrut juice) and would swim a few laps, air dry off, swim a few more, hang out in the water talking to some of the other members etc.
The end of the day, I sniffed the application points and as expected, most were gone. All that remained was a scent at the NPA and A1 application sites. Seems that they are pretty “sticky” and might be of use at a “pool party”.
cool.. i was wondering about this too the other day. me and my friends hang out in a good friends pool quite a bit and its usually with some girl friends id like to be a little bit more than friends i was thinking itd probably be a waste to put any on before i went over there because then theyd just wash right off.. and if i waited until after, im afraid theyd probably get suspicious and think it odd i was putting on a bunch of stuff after swimming just to hang out and watch a movie or whatever
Did you cover your application spots with some kind of water resistant sunscreen, or baby oil? I’ve heard some theorize that adding something water resistant over the application spot may prevent a complete wash off.
No cover, that was the whole point of the test. Normally when I want to wear mones at the pool, I apply to hair and high up on the neck near the hair line. Then I make a point of keeping my head out of the water.
Wouldn’t the same mechanism that prevented wash-off also prevent diffusion? I don’t have a very good handle on how that works, but if someone who knows could answer I’d be grateful.
This is interesting. I go to a state park everyday to run the trails and swim in the lake. There is a man made beach w/ a lot of bikinis frequenting it. I assumed the H2O would wash off mones. HMMMMMMM. Applying mones, running 3-5 miles, then walking across the “beach”, then laying out for a bit. How does heavy sweating affect the mones. They might stick better in the hair. At least I have something to look forward tomorrow.
The weather kept a large crowd from appearing at the lake today. I used 2 sprays IS and 2 sprays Ammo to the front/back of the neck. After laying out for awhile I waded into the lake. Since there were no potential targets I dipped my neck into the water. The mone smell immediately became apparent. Both IS and ammo smell pleasant. Either part of them washed off in the lake or the water gave a boost. I could still smell when I got out so it wasn’t a waste. I’ll give another go this weekend, weather permitting.
