Ok, here's the dealy-o.

I'm just about to start making a neoprene tail (materials are being ordered), but I am trying to solve the "I need added weight to sink" issue. I love the pretty weight belts, but they're really not for me. I'm trying to figure out how to add weight without a weight belt. I've heard somewhere that someone puts weights between their legs, but I don't know if that would be comfortable... There are scuba belts that exist (that aren't too thick at all) that you can "thread" weights through, so they sit snugly with the belt and don't stick out. Would the added weight from the belt affect the neoprene?

Suggestions? HELP!
