swimsuits that cover loose skin?



Recommended Posts

Glad to see I'm not the only one trying to figure out how to go swimming without being mistaken for a partially-deflated beach ball. :P My inner thighs are so droopy that my old, skirted swimsuit can't hide it, plus it's a bit loose on me overall now.

Thanks for the suggestions!

You could get a swim shirt to wear for "sun protection". Kills 2 birds with one stone.

Yes...... I have found several websites with those and, along with swim shorts, I think that will be perfect. Many thanks to everyone who responded.

I know this is an old topic, but relevant to me. I have super skinny arms, excess skin on belly and thighs. Breast, well, they are a mess. :(

Check out surf wear. I wear a long-sleeved rash guard when I swim because I get cold.

Amazon has lots of options as well. I have been searching, I like board shorts and wear a sports bra type top under rashguard t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, or tank top. It all depends on the sun exposure. I am excited they are coming out with more woman's shorts options. Not a skirt type girl but nothing one piece fits properly anyway.

The rashguard swim shirts are so nice because unlike cotton they don't weigh you down.

The only issue, I'm having right now is finding the sports bra type top to go under it all. I prefer something that can un hook instead of going over my head due to an old softball arm. Let's say I have not been blessed enough to fit into the ones I have found. Last years, is not an option. It's a good problem to have.

You may have to time travel to the 1920s to find bathing suits with sleeves and pants

Actually not. There are quite of few options these days.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned H2O but that catalog has a lot of different options. If you look at surfing clothes and suites there are all kinds of lengths and variations, too.

You can find a ton of rashguard/sufer type stuff on Amazon. LL Bean actually has some cute stuff too.

If you google rashguard you can find all kinds of cute options.

When I am at the Water this year I will be boating mostly so these options are perfect.

I got a set from Coolibar. If you wait for sales it isn't too bad. I got a swim shirt and a pair of Capri pants with an attached skirt. I wanted to hide due to weight but all my friends loved them and all got some too! They wear great in the Water and dry fast when you get out.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
