Swimming shirts/wet suit

What are you guys wearing to the beach or pool after you have lost some considerable amount of weight but have not had skin removal and the skin has not tightened.

I lost about a hundred pounds so far, still have a few more to go but I'll be going to Florida in about 6 months and I'll be going to many pools this spring/summer with my newborn. Are there any decent swim wet shirts or wet suits shirts that do a decent job hiding imperfections such as loose skin, still some fat and moobs?

I am not a fan of regular t-shirts because they get so heavy, stretch out and suction to your body. I get wet suits clings to your body but if it hides imperfections then it's worth it. Regular Ts def do not.

Ha - one major reason I got the surgery was watching videos of my brother taking my niece to swimming lessons and wondering what I would do when I had to be shirtless in front of fitter strangers for an hour or two every week.

At present, all of my sagging skin would be covered by board shirts or swim trunks, and I wouldn’t even wear a t-shirt into the pool or hot tub at my heaviest (it gets waterlogged and it just looks ridiculous). The rash guard is a good idea, albeit one that came from women who descended on a Guys Room thread for the five billionth time. I bought a couple on Amazon yesterday and may try them out in the Bahamas next week.

It’s quite hard to see what “room” a conversation is in on the app. They should fix that.


There is a place in california called Corral reef wetsuits, they make a now-wetsuit type shirt that works really well, to well if its warm out, cross between a wetsuit and a rash guard, i have 2 or 3 of them. I also have bought a few off ebay from a company called hardcore, they have a really nice rash guard at a good price, seems the darker colors hide a few things better than a white one.

Any compression shirt should work as well. There are a bunch of Amazon that are superhero prints and are under $20. The one I'm wearing in my avatar would work well for a swim shirt.
