Be careful! Baby oil can cause damage, and staining to lycra!!! I have a trick that might help! I have spent the last 16 years as a photographic stylist...and when shooting swimwear on models, we always lightly misted the lycra swimwear with water first. Make sure the mist is very, very fine...so the water does not spot the lycra! The water mist acts like a protective barrier between the lycra, and the oil. This Causes the oil to bead up, instead of penatrating the fibers! ( Make sure to wash the lycra item immediately after the photo shoot! ) This always seemed to work well for me, while shooting speedo swimear ads. Good luck!...Jason
