Its kind of a dumb question but  I was just wondering if anybody knows the stuff that swimwear models or girls in beauty pagents use to keep the bathing suit from riding, Im going to be in a runway show for swimwear and I was just wondering if anybody knows the name of that stuff and where to get it!!

Thanks!!

yeah I think I hear that little trick befor...but there also are products designed for it. I would (silly as it sounds) check a sports department store because I think they have things like that for gloves and I think I've heard some pageant friends say that's what they use..don't know the name or anything

Yes that is true.  But some pageant extremists have used light weight spray on adhesive as well- don't know, seen it done with no disasters (although I would spot test or something before hand).  Hair spray also works well as a makeup sealant (just remember to hold your breath, lol).
