Question:
Bathing Suits are the worst invention ever!?

okay so here's my problem with bathing suits, If you happen to be anything thing other than a stick your doomed to either look elderly, or like you eight. I'm not extremely overweight, but i carry a couple extra pounds i'm like a 12 in jeans, and a large in tops. So i would say i'm pleasantly plump! Any who, so i don't wear any form of swim wear. I'm 18 years old and should be able to find some kind of suitable swim wear. However, i hate one pieces and tankini's. I feel like one pieces make larger girls even larger b/c it's basically the equivalent of walking around in a body suit, it's skin tight, and makes you look round and dumpy. I also have a huge issue with the leg cut on one pieces, like if you have thicker thighs ( which most people who wear one pieces do) They cut your leg of in such an awful way, and make your thighs look so gross and fat. Now Tankini's, i feel like if i wear a tankini w/ bikini bottom's i look half dressed, like i'm walking around with a shirt, and panties, idk, it just looks weird to me. Another thing is have you ever looked at the tankini's in stores, half the time the top only covers half of my stomach? like whats the point in covering half of my stomach? The only long tankini tops i've ever found, were from alloy, and like i said, i feel weird, with bikini bottoms and a tankini top? It's like legit walking around with panties and a shirt on. And of course i'm not wearing a traditional bikini, i'm not trying to look like a beached whale.

anyways, so my question is, is there any alterantive to just not buying a bathing suit, or any websites that sell extordinarily cute one peices or tankini's even though i hate both.

You could always get a tankini and buy a cute little wrap around skirt to go with is over top of the bottoms. You might not feel "half dressed" then. They have some that are a sheer fabric so you can see through them or they have ones that are thickers so that it covers up more. Some tie up on the side by your hip and other have elastic waist. I hate one piece bathing suits too! And there is NO way I am getting in a bikini until I lose 20 pounds. After having a baby my body isn't as nice as it used to be. I have found a happy medium with tankini's, but I don't feel "half dressed". I think the wrap around may solve your problem!

You could always go with some form of board shorts, which are comfy even when wet, and come in short and bermuda lengths. If you're uncomfortable with showing your midsection, you could buy a rash guard shirt to wear over a bikini top. Another option would be a tankini with a bottom with a skirt attached. These kind of look like miniskirts most of the time.

You can try wearing boyshort bottoms with a tankini top...they're really cute and convenient because 1: you don't have to worry about bikini lines and 2: they make your butt look good! lolz....I hate one pieces too! I'm tall and skinny and when I wear them I feel like a 5 year old! Kohls and JCPenneys has really cute tankinis in womens and juniors.

i kinda had that problem.

im not like really over weight, just like an extra 5lbs or so on my stomach that will not go away[and yes, i exercise and eat very healthily, thank you!] and i also have really bony ribs and hips, but thicker thighs so swim suits tend to look very awkward on me, as 2 pieces are too revealing and show my tummy fat juxtaposed next to my bony hips which is nasty.

ive found that the best solution is a monokini. you know, a one piece with cut outs? that way, i can show the parts of me that look better and cover the ones that dont...

yea....i feel your pain. i hate bathing suit shopping and just wearing them. i feel the two pieces just dont fit me right. and the tankinis is the only thing they have this year thats not that skimpy. one pieces arent that bad...but you could just wear a one piece bathing suit with a t-shirt over you. and then wear a pair of softie shorts. if your going to wear a t shirt make sure u wear something under yourself so it wont get too revealing in the upper area....

i didnt read through your whole long description so if i repeat something sorry. but i think some good alternatives would be to wear specially fitted one pieces, they have some cute ones at delias! or you could wear some board shorts and a wet shirt, one of my friends is uncomfortable with her body and does that! as long as you feel good in what your wearing wear it :]

If it's problems with your weight, don't blame it on bathings suits for being the worst invention ever. They work fine. don't over eat, and be active.

Try this, it's modest and supportive.

Also, you can wear board shorts in the water.

Good luck!
