The beach is very pleasant, but sometimes swimsuits prevent us from enjoying the ocean. The movement of the waves ends up moving our swimsuits and sometimes the swimsuits end up out of place exposing more than intended. These incidents are embarrassing and uncomfortable. The swimsuit problem can be avoided by ditching your favorite outfit for a less flattering outfit or by staying out of the waves. These options simply avoid the problem instead of solving it. People in society should not be forced to avoid the waves because they are afraid of lewd acts on the beach. Everyone should be able to have fun at the beach without constantly checking that their swimsuit is still in place. Society needs something to help hold up their costumes, a product that is easy to apply and inexpensive. A waterproof, skin-friendly tape would be the ideal solution. A tape would be easily applied, inexpensive and not visible. The tape should be strong and able to withstand the movement of the waves. When researching possible mechanisms that might be helpful in holding a suit in place, many sea creatures come to mind. Barnacles do the best job of protecting themselves from waves. Barnacles cement themselves to rocks (How, 1-4). When barnacles settle on a rock or boat for adulthood, the barnacles use antennae that carry cement onto the rock, "the cement, which provides a strong adhesion, is released as a clear liquid that hardens into a opaque and rubbery solid" (How, 2). Taking the barnacle's antennules as a model, a secretory tube filled with adhesive could be used; however, this solution would require a non-permanent adhesive unlike cement. The barnacle adaptation is too permanent to be used as a template for tape. The octopus... in the center of the paper... stays in place thanks to its strong waterproof adhesive power. By using Frog Goo people no longer have to worry about their clothes being moved by the waves. Instead people can enjoy the beach and the waves.
