PP swim suit time

mcnava · June 2014

So its that dreaded time of the year...already sucks anyway...swim suit shopping. But Idefinitely don't fit into my pre pregnancy swim suits. I'm trying to find the best place for an affordable swim suit. I was hoping for a tummy control since thatis my worst feature right now, but I also seem to be having trouble finding ones that will fit over my boobs that went up 4 sizes. Any suggestions on good places to shop?

Normally I would just not go to the beach or anything if I felt this gross about my body, but we have a pool now and I would like to use it...

Dear Lord Jesus, no,
Swim suit? In public?

Luckily I have a pool in my backyard where I can let my love handles and butt crack hang freely from whatever I lug on over what once resembled a body.

God speed, friend.

this is in my back yard and im limited on who i will even swim with, I just tried some regular ones on yesterday and felt totally awful about my body.

I usually buy my swimsuits at target.. They seem to be fairly priced. However I don't even want to start thinking about swimsuit season...

mcnava · June 2014

target is where i tried them on...i looked like a pear and they wouldnt go over my boobs

Macy's usually has pretty good options.

I am actually going to check out Target in the plus size section, I noticed they had decent ones and some tummy control options....plus I find that the boob area is larger. I am not normally plus size but my PP body won't fit in anything else as far as bathing suits.

Macy's is where I got my last suit and they had a lot of options. Maybe not always the most reasonable prices...but a good selection.

I don't own one but I know MANY mommas of all shapes and sizes who rave about the "Walmart suit."

Victoria's Secret has some cute one piece suits and they are having their Semi-Annual Sale.

I'm going to a water park near weekend and have to shop for one. I'm probably going to use make up to cover up the dark line down my belly and belly button piercing scar... my but is flabby. My hips suck. But I really want to go on some water slides so it's happening

I'm planning on wearing my maternity swim suit this summer. Got it from Asos.com

bumpuser9353653 · June 2014

I bought a couple Spanx suits last year that were on sale for a decent price. They were hard to get into, but made me feel less flabby in the middle.

kalette · June 2014

I found a really cute swim dress type thing at target.

Helmink0804 · June 2014

I'm big busted to begin with- 38DDD and bought mine last summer at JcPennys. I bought a one piece and 2 tankinis and they all fit perfect! I haven't tried them on yet for this year but I'm smaller than I was last year in the belly at least so I'm hoping they'll still fit.

My belly button piercing is a disaster from pregnancy, if I had known it would end up like this I would have never gotten one! I haven't even worn the piercing in years.

Good on you all for even thinking about bathing suits, I am not ready! Luckily it's cold and foggy here early in the summer so I won't even be needing to worry about it for a couple months.

Athleta has some nice options. I took my son to the beach this weekend and I rocked my old two piece and wore my rash gaurd over it. It wasn't that pretty but hey I just had a baby.

Kris2011RN · June 2014

So, is it not ok to use my maternity suit? Really it just looks like a tankini, plus I have a pool in my backyard and that's probably what I'll do this summer.

bumpuser10194737 · June 2014

I love mine from Land's End, and also noticed Athleta has some cute ones. I might try one of theirs this summer.

mileswithmyles · June 2014

I bought a maternity tankini an target and it is actually cute and has full coverage and lots of chest support!

I had my lower belly button pierced for a while and then I took it out before I got pregnant. this Scar is hideous now

I may just keep rocking my maternity suit. Otherwise it will probably have to be something cheap from target.

Kath525 · June 2014

I agree about the belly button piercing. I now call it my harry potter scar. It's this huge lightening bolt that goes up my belly... how was it just a tiny dot before pregnancy??

mcnava · June 2014

I agree with the belly button piercing! Horrible! I am not yet ready to venture into a bikini. I went to a different Target today and found one that was...decent. I would say it is the least bad on me. But As long as its just in my yard, I'm fine....now if friends come over to swim? I dunno. I did not have a maternity suit, so that is why I cannot use that. I'mgoing to keep the reciept for this one and keep looking, but at least I have this.

Sdufort1216 · June 2014

so I always hated bathing suits but now forget it buuut I never had boobs before so I found this at macys ... it's super cute as long as I get a skirt to go with it and it can show off some boobage ( the ONLY thing. I like about my body right now )

jschwind22 · June 2014

I absolutely refuse to acknowledge that swim suits exist.

I have this one in my closet from about a week before conception last summer. I liked it.

pistolpackinmomma · June 2014

Last summer I got a control max suit from Old Navy that was decently priced. I haven't tried it on yet though.

Mine's all red, but bought in store. Can't remember which Walmart though, since we were in the middle of our cross country roadtrip.

Xath · June 2014

You guys convinced me. I ordered one of the wal mart suits.
