I can't believe I'm even contemplating getting a bathing suit - I think the last time I wore one was 25 years ago as a kid!

I saw this and am was hesitant to order at that price, but found it on Zulily for $29.99.

What are the rest of you thinking of for bathing suits as the summer comes in? Would like to get some other ideas!

All of them

I knew it! They all look like you. Question, do you wear any bottoms over them? Are you thighs and legs still fit for prime time? I would have to put on swim shorts or use a wrap...

My thighs are totally not ready for prime time, saggy skin city! But I haven't worn any bottoms over them, I guess I just DGAF. ? (I'm not sure why I will show my saggy thighs, but never my saggy tummy, hmmmm)

My heart grew 3 sizes! Note to self: adopt a more DGAF attitude. Yeah...saggy tummies...a WHOLE 'nother thread. hahaha Isn't it so weird how we are so hard on ourselves? ((hugs)) Those suit designs are all SO flattering. I bet your figure looks darling.

I agree the DGAF attitude is best. If you wait for perfection then you miss life. Anyway, have you see some of the men they don't worry! Every year my big concern is will I be able to get up the ladder onto the boat or will I have to swim home.

Most of my swimming is in lakes and creeks while hiking/backpacking or kayaking. So what I wear needs to be adventure ready. I have some new swim trunks that are like bike shorts, sports bra, and an athletic top that dries fast. That’s if there are other people around. If it’s just us, then the sports bra and shorts come off, as just undies and the light top will dry faster.

I love tankinis, and have a couple. I just never end up using them.

Thanks for the tip - I'll look there if this one doesn't work for me! I feel like it's been so long, I don't even know where to start! Would you care to share a pic of what you got??

These are the swim shorts I got. I really like them. You can get any swim top, any style, to go with it.

Wow! Where can I find these?

I never worried about being seen in a bathing suit, even at my heaviest. I enjoy the pool, so I didn't care what other people thought.

It is so cute, enjoy it! I bought a new swimsuit back in February, but I am hoping once it gets closer to swim time, I will need something smaller yet. (Fingers crossed!) I personally don't think I could ever buy a swimsuit online - I am too awkwardly shaped, I need the easy access to exchange if needed. I hope it works out for you!
