Leo problem

[nettyinpa]

I was told by some upper level moms not to wash dd's leo until meet season was over. Things happen with the dye lots in the materials and they fade in different places. So, I just rinse out the crotch area and all's well. Hope you get your new leo soon!

most of the leo manufacturers use the same source for getting materials. Last year there was a problem with almost every leotard using the metallic shimmer materials. I know both GK and Alpha Factor are replacing them at no cost to the buyers.

I was not going to wash my dd leo but justspot clean it.Then my dd spilled milk down the fron on the way to the meet. Luckily it cleaned up nice.

At our meet this weekend, one of our new 6/7s(in her 1st meet) had the blue rub off in the same area as my daughter. Told her mom that the manufacturer was going to replace my daughter's leo and she needed to let the gym know.

I'm glad GK is replacing it. We had a new team last year and ordered competition leos & warmups through them. Had a terrible time getting them to replace anything (for the most part, they refused even when sizes were WAY off). So when the coach opened her own gym and we all followed her and needed to outfit an entire team again, we didn't even consider them. We went with Satara... the leos turned out great and the customer service has been amazing.

See we had bigtime issues with GK last year and our new leos too. I just decided not to wash her competition leo at all last year. Many parents called and complained to them and they just said too bad... must have been your fault... You didn't follow our instruction or blamed them that they got hairspray on it even if they didn't even use hairspray.
Now our leo is over a year old and I have been washing it this year since Emily will be a level 5 next year and level 5s have a different leo.
However, I noticed our level 5 team leos(brand new this year) they are pilling. I mean come on. The GK practice leos that I wash millions of times just throwing them in the wash with everything else and really nothing happens to them except losing jewels and they only cost a fraction of the price. But team leos just wash terribly and end up falling apart, pilling and losing colors. That is not a good way to run a business when your product is terrible.

Well, I'll give some credit to GK. They did come through and last week a new leo arrived at the gym---even sent FedEx. The owner that deals with them said she was surprised when the leo came because she had gotten 2 phone calls AFTER they sent the original leo back with a note saying it would be replaced that they were not going to make my gymmie a new one. Anyway, now she said any problems she has with GK, she's just going to turn me loose on them

So, my gymmie has a nice new leo that will see 3 more meets and then be retired. Optional girls will get a new design next year.
