Success after IF

Non clicky Bathing Suit poll if you dare

Sorry I don't have time to figure out how to do a clicky poll.   If you are brave enough to wear a suit what kind do you wear?

 1) 2 piece bikini

  2) A tankini

 3)  One piece

4)  What's a bathing suit?

I have a one piece and a tankini.  I hate the tankini since it kind of rides up and shows my stomach which I hate.  I haven't worn a 2 piece since I was 10 and my Mom made me wear one for an entire summer.  I was traumatized and vowed never to wear one again (I was never exactly skinny and never had a flat tummy so a 2 piece always made me feel self conscious).

  • I wear bikinis and tankinis depending on what I'm doing. Tankinis are great for running after a toddler but if I'm just lounging around, I'll wear a bikini. I don't like the way one pieces look on me - I think they make me look wide!
  • I have a bikini that I normally just wear when I am at my moms pool and no one else is around. A tankini for the beach and other more public places.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

  • Tankini with board shorts.

    I'd like to make my way back to the board shorts and bikini top I wore on my honeymoon. Someday!

  • I have always worn a 2 piece bikini.  This summer, if I even get in a bathing suit since i'm due at the end of May, it will be a tankini, I'm sure.
  • Tankini with a sarong!!  ;)

  • Tankini for me. Maybe if I could actually lose the rest of my baby weight I would consider a bikini again but definitely not this summer.  I am dreading looking in the mirror with the tankini on.

  • Haven't given birth yet, but I don't necessarily have the most flattering body.  For the past 3 yrs, I've been in tankinis.  The trick is to find one that won't ride up... perferably one that opens up at the bottom so doesn't press into the belly.  : )

    My fav is from VS and it is a Kenneth Cole.  I believe they still have the same model.

  • Definitely a one piece.  I have a long-torso and tankinis ride up too much for my taste.  I hate my stomach.  I'm not in great shape either.  Maybe one day I'll get back into a bikini, but it's not bloody likely!  My legs, arms, butt and boobs all look good, but tummy is a different story!  I'm still struggling to find the RIGHT one piece though that's a nice mix between coverage and sexy.  It's tough.

  • I am usually a bikini girl...last summer I was at my heaviest and switched to a tankini...and guessing that after this baby i will be in a tankini...they are just as covering as one pieces and more comfy (ie no ride up)
  • Well, right now I'd say #4. I have several two pieces (and it was a big deal for me to get the confidence to wear these as I have a huge horizontal scar across my stomach from surgery I had when I was born), but I'm sure none of them fit me anymore. This summer it will be a maternity suit b/c I do want to take DS to the beach. I suspect that postpartum I'll be in one of those one pieces with the nice ribbing on the front that helps disguise the extra belly fat. Maybe I'll get back to a two piece someday, but I don't know!

  • Last year I wore a tankini but this year I will be in a 2 piece bikini. I wanted to be in one last year but I did not work at it and it showed. I have until July 2nd to get into bikini shape and I'm working at it, there is no reason I should not be there this year.

  • I live in a warm weather climate so it's pretty much bathing suite/hard body (gotta love S. Beach) hahaha season all year round :(.. 

    Before IF and treatments I could get away w wearing a bikini; I was going to the gym 3 to 4 days a week and doing pilates.  Fav bathing sutis are from J.Crew, they fit well and keep for many seasons.

     Now 15/20lbs heavier and I am sure there is more that I will gain before this pregnancy is over I have been wearing 1 pieces from Target. I am not investing in expensive suites for the summer and Target actually makes some cute ones..I have 2 black ones that make me feel thinner and have been wearing those to the beach. After baby..uggh who knows??!! 

  • usually bikini.    but i always have a tankini, too...

    Last year I wore rash guard t-shirt and a pair of a water shorts.  Can't get much more covered than that! I needed it post-baby x 2 and I'm really fair so the more covered I am, the better. 

    I also have a tankini that has a miniskirt bottom.  I call it my movie star suit because it reminds me of old Hollywood. :-)

    I also have a once piece but I've never looked great in them because I have small boobs and wide hips so I always look really bottom heavy. 

    I've never worn a bikini...not even in my dreams!

  • tankini. i love them--i still feel somewhat cute in them but don't have to show my tummy, which is never my best feature.

  • I wear a tankini or a one piece (I got a miracle suit 2 summers ago that I like).

    Never worn a bikini-though I would love to but I doubt my body will ever look good enough for that.

  • I wear bikinis.  I have a super long body and have bought a "long" one piece before that was still too short.  No camel toe/super wedge for me.

    I have worn tankinis in the past and they look stupid too because they don't cover my stomach, not even close because of my long torso, and it looks like I am wearing an ill fitting bikini when I have one on.

    I wore a bikini when pregnant too...with a cover up:)

  • This will definately be tankini season.  Being pregnant left me covered in stretch marks Tongue Tied

    No more bikinis ever.

  • 6in vertical scar = tankini for me.  That being said - I am actually excited to go buy one because I am weighing less than my pre-pg weight nowadays.. woohoo!

  • I'm hoping to wear a tankini this summer (LATE summer!), but I may very well opt for a one-piece with a gigantic cover-up of some sort.  ;)
