regular swimsuit or maternity?

Just wear a regular 2 piece and let the baby belly hang out or get a maternity swimsuit and cover up?

Re: regular swimsuit or maternity?

  • The only maternity bathing suit I got is when I was pg for my 1st and I ended up looking like a ginormous watermelon....it was pink with black polka dots lol

    Get a regular tankini because personally I think maternity bathing suits are way overpriced and not very flattering.

  • I say go with whatever you are comfortable with. A tankini is another option too.

    I just bought a couple of tankini's from Land's End that will also be great if/when I get pg.

  • I had a maternity bathingsuit...the top did double duty.  Personally I don't like to see bare pregnant bellies.  They are not attractive as far as I'm concerned (maybe to you and your DH they are...but to strangers...not so much).
  • I bought a bikini and let all my glory hang out ;)  Whatever you feel more comfy with, I say=)

    If you are REALLY pg in the summer a regular tankini is very uncomforable, I remember last summer I thought the same thing as you and I was so wrong! I just bought a regular cheapo bikini in size huge (get bottoms and tops that tie so the suit can expand a little with you if needed) and I wore a tank top over it most of the time.

  • I bought a maternity suit w/ #2.  I knew I would be taking #1 to the pool and wanted to be covered.  With #1, we camped at the lake and I spent all weekend in the lake in a sport bra & shorts.
  • I vote maternity.  I tried to wear a regular one but it was very uncomfortable.  Even in a large size.
