What type of swimsuit

What type of swimsuits do you guys have / are planning on buying?

I found a 2 piece I like, but that being said, I like the 2 piece (bikini), not my squishy appearance in it. It is modest though, not a string bikini or anything.

That being said, I do plan on working out more, especially in the spring when I can jog with the kids in the bike trailer, but is it worth it, or should I just buy a tankini?  Like would you use the bikini for inspiration to work out, or would you just get a 1 piece you already feel more secure in, etc.

Re: What type of swimsuit

  •   I bought 2 bathing suits so far for vacation. I would love to be in a bikini someday but it can not happen without surgery, which I am 100% considering. I wore a 2 piece after I had Justin but now I have super bad "twin skin" on my stomach. The more weight I lose the saggier my stomach skin is above my csection scar. At 38wks my stomach measured 52 inches around and my skin just couldn't come back :(

    Then I bought the top in bright blue and I'll pair it with a pair of black& blue paisley bottoms I have. https://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265700634840&c=Page&cid=1324473490167&pagename=vsdWrapper

  • I would love one of those old fashioned suits that cover my whole body.  Or maybe just a wet suit.

    Seriously though, I have a black 1-piece halter suit that I really like even though I hate my thighs.  I will never wear a bikini again since my stretch marks are so bad.  I like tankinis with boy short bottoms.

  • I'm thinking the Duggars might have it right with the whole modesty suits. But that is just me. I liked being pregs in the summer because I didn't feel as self-conscious about my gut, plus I was just so dang hot that I didn't really care what I looked like, but since it is just my parents backyard and not a beach, I don't make it into a fashion show, just something that covers. I prefer the tankinis because they are more forgiving to my tummy, but I am also plus-sized to begin with and would never dream of wearing a bikini.

  • I prefer tankinis over 1-piece suits. I gave up on bikinis a long time ago. I have a longer torso, so the tankinis give me a little more freedom of movement, and I don't feel so constricted. Plus, some tankini tops are a little flow-y, so they can hide the bumps and bulges a little better than a 1-piece.
  • I'm a huge fan of the skort suits. I can tone everything but my thighs and I like the look. I do wear a halter top with it but I'm determined to get back into my two piece this summer. 

    I could have the summer before but I'm so self conscious about my body it's ridiculous!!

    I have that suit from ON and I love it!  It'a flattering and a bit sexy while covering my not-so-firm areas.
