Should I just wear a bikini?

If you want to wear it, do it.
Life is too short to do what other people like.

Thanks, DCUM. I think that’s the answer. I’m going to try some on.

I read somewhere that the second half of your life starts when you stop worrying about what other people think about your body in a bathing suit. I can’t confidently say I’m there yet, that tankini is not yet a distant memory!, but I’m going to try some on!!

This.
Someone said I was brave for wearing a bikini after giving birth.
No. I was hot.

Trying being a woman teacher in Kabul for brave.
Or leaving an abusive bastard.

Except your mother. Mine was unable to enjoy our beach trip because she was so distressed about my BMI 22 mom bod in a bikini "for all to see." "It isn't FLATTERING "

I've always preferred bikinis, because one pieces don't fit. I have a long thin torso and small chest, and all the "pretty" one pieces sag in front. I don't want to wear a Speedo!

So bikini it is. The string bikinis with triangle top are the most adjustable ones. Love them.

I would have worn a thong just to annoy her even more.

Wear what you want, OP. If you thought you couldnt pull it off, you wouldn't be asking.

Im early 50s, not overweight at all, and realized I haven't worn ANY swimsuit in 11 years (I think we did a beach vacation when my kids were 13 and 17). I would definitely go with a two piece (and not a tankini) if i found myself needing one. I never looked great in a swimsuit at any age or weight, tbh. Such is life.

My bmi is 32. I wear whatever I want. Including two pieces. It’s so comfy and liberating. I get compliments on the suit - my body is not aesthetically wow but so what.

No one cares. Really!

They are but also the least comfortable.

Agree. I hate having to have my whole torso wet if I take a dip then hang out at the pool

OP you’re gonna look gross but whatever. No one cares.

I don't wear a bikini because I don't want to deal with the extra sunscreen.
