i removed the photo, i have never seen a body suit that was that sheer, and the photo appeared to be photo shopped anyways. i don't kno whow to put a photo in or i would put one in that was more appropriate. also body suits are sometimes undergarments but are often worn as normal shirts and not undergarments. i rarely edit pages or leave comments i don't really know how to do much on wikipedia or i would try and fix this up more. hopefully someone else can fix it soon. or maybe i will have to learn. -moonfroggy

Please observe around you and you will see body suits worn as undergarments. In order to answer to your comment, I just insert in this article another photo found in Wikipedia Commons. Thanks for your comments and good luck on Wikipedia! Safedom 09:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
i have observed around me been to many clothing stores and looked at many clothing catalogs and i have never seen a body suit as an undergarment, i think maybe it is the snaps make them uncomfortable? although lots of womens undergarments are uncomfortable. a quick search online of body suits comes up with no undergarments. why are two pictures needed and why is there two body suit entries on wikipedia? http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Body_suit -moonfroggy
Since i created the Mock Neck Bodysuit Image. I'll add a undergarment version with a less ehm.... sexual appealing caracter. Hope everyone will be happy with it. -GMLSX
I wear these and leos all the time, both under a top and by themselves with jeans or denim skirts, and I've never found the snaps uncomfortable. BTW, fixed a couple typos. Karanne (talk) 19:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

article's definition doesn't match Merriam-Webster dictionary

[edit]

Article starts with "A bodysuit or shorthand body is a one-piece form-fitting garment that covers the torso and the crotch, ...." which doesn't match 2nd definition at https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bodysuit . That Merriam-Websiter page says

  1. : a close-fitting one-piece garment for the torso often with sleeves ...
  2. : a usually close-fitting one-piece garment that covers most or all of the body

(Skin-tight garment#Bodysuit says "A bodysuit covers the torso, crotch, and sometimes the legs, hands, and feet.")

Change start of article so part of it resembles that text at Skin-tight_garment#Bodysuit ? --EarthFurst (talk) 06:27, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To unprecise at the moment. Either confused with a jumpsuit or catsuit or it means the shape wear version, wich is more in the realm of a ankle to throat girdle. The last one is a bodysuit but nothing to wear as a halloween costume.--Tobias ToMar Maier (talk) 23:06, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think having a strap, velcro, or fastener at the crotch is a defining characteristic of a bodysuit. As well as the merriam-webster definition, the photo used in the article says "Reason for considering the garment a bodysuit and not a leotard or swimsuit: Although the back is covered with more fabric than a thong leotard or swimsuit, it is also transparent and reveals more of the anatomy that is usually accepted in public places ore show stages."

The opening in the crotch is the equivalent to a fly in men's shorts. Or in other words: underwear. Tobias ToMar Maier (talk) 20:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
