Is this appropriate for the community pool?

[Anonymous]

If you have a decent figure it’s fine.

OP, Are you bold enough to wear it? I think it's normal. I also think you will get the surreptitious looks that go with it. Wear it if it makes you feel good.

OP here. This is what I actually bought, but I look more like the other model, minus the flawless skin.

This bottom is a lot better than the first one you posted. It has more coverage, that little bit makes a huge difference.

This model also has zero curves though (or heavily airbrushed). On most women, a lot more flesh would be exposed. But i still think it is fine to wear

+1 A family pool? Nope. It would cause a problem at our country club pool. I don't think the board would do anything but I do think there would be some social ostracization occurring because OP was wearing it at a family pool.

Family pool? Only if you don't care that some will be talking about you. Resort? Sure. Vacation, yes. Right or wrong, most moms want to look like moms at community pools, not like the "hot mom" that everyone talks about. And if you want to be the hot mom then you better be hot.

God, the internalized misogyny is so depressing.

I would be a lot harder on a dad who showed up at a community pool wearing a speedo.

That’s OP’s whole point! On this model it doesn’t look bad, but when OP put it on she looked more like the woman on the first page.

IME those types of bottoms don't stay put if you have any sort of curves, so you'd probably spend a lot of time adjusting. That's why I personally wouldn't wear it, not because I think it's inappropriate but because it's awkward if you're moving around at all.

Looks fine to me. If you are slim and it looks good on you then go for it. Just get a nice cover up for when you are walking around.

Honest to god, one mom had swim capris? and a long sleeve rash guard at ours. It reminded me of those modesty suits the Duggars wear.

I wear more bc I feel strange being around the dads in what is basically underwear. For some reason, I’d feel fine at the beach but it would feel intense where I know a lot of people.

THIS. I would absolutely wear a more revealing suit at a beach. But at the pool where people I know/socialize with are wandering around, stopping by to say hi? no. I want to feel like I'm not chatting with them in my underwear!

I also think it has to do with how fit you are. My tush needs some support! and would look terrible hanging out of a suit like this.

Haha, I feel the same. I go to the beech in tiny bikinis but I feel weird at the pool because I feel like I'm in my underwear around all of my kid's friends and kid's friend's parents. But you do you OP. Here are some swimsuits I wear to the community pool and don't feel frumpy at all:

Ugh, the *beach*, lord.

These are great, modern and not frumpy at all. Nice

Disagree. First one is. Anything with rouching/gatherings looks frumpy

Also agree that the summersalt suit will be frumpy on anyone with a midsection. If you are as thin as the model and the suit is a bit loose on you, it will be ok.

But judging by the number of people wearing summersalt at my community pool, it is an acceptable and very common swimsuit.

None of these suits are frumpy for middle aged women. You people judging frump are as bad as those judging skimpy.

First one says "I'm trying to cover my spare tire"

DP. There is absolutely no 'rouching/gatherings'.

And yes, I have a very similar swimsuit and it looks great.

Or covering the fall out (often permanent!) from growing and carrying human being (s). The struggle is real. I like all three.
