ICcode for "Catsuit"

A [b]catsuit[/b] is a skin-tight one-piece garment with sleeves and 
long legs, and sometimes with feet or gloves, sometimes with a hood. 
The name derives from its similarity to the costume worn by a 
pantomime cat.

It is identical to a [about=unitard]unitard[/about] in construction, 
but the term 'catsuit' tends to be preferred in [about=erotic]erotic
[/about] contexts. Unlike a unitard, its use rarely involves sports, 
and it may be made of [about=leather]leather[/about], [about=rubber]
rubber[/about], [about=PVC]PVC[/about], or [about=spandex]spandex
[/about].

It may be worn for the pleasure of the wearer, who wishes to be 
covered in a tight [about=second skin]second skin[/about], or of 
spectators.  A catsuit emphasises the shape of the wearer's body, 
especially the [about=buttocks]bottom[/about], a woman's [about=breast]
breast[/about]s and a man's [about=male bulge]male bulge[/about].  
Some female catsuits have a long zip in the front, worn partly undone, 
so as to give the spectator the feeling tht he or she could open the 
zip fully and access the wearer's breasts or [about=crotch]crotch
[/about]. (A suit with a long front zip is sometimes called a [b]
jumpsuit[/b].) Others may have zips at the crotch and over the breasts 
for ease of access.
