Subject: Re: Punch swazzle materials


I have a theory that men have larger palates than women, therefore women
performers need smaller swazzles.  It's just a theory!  Everyone's mouth is
different, and it can take several tries to make a swazzle that fits.  If
it doesn't fit, you'll know it; by the end of your first performance,
you'll have sores on the roof of your mouth.
