Tankini vs. one-piece

[Anonymous]

I think it depends on your body and the stye of the tanikini.

I am 5 ft tall and and find them a petter option than a one piece as most one pieces are too long in the body and the straps are too long if they are not the adjustable kind.

The tankinis I have are very close fitting on the stomach so they don't have that loose fabric that feels gross in the water and drags. They look more like a one piece.

Boden has been a good source for me.

This is me- I'm tall so I order the long torso ones and they are fitted like a tank top and then either overlap the bottoms (on purpose) or meet it with just maybe 1-2CM of skin showing when I move, but not an inch or more of skin like regular length tankinis. I like having 2 pieces for fit, all the one pieces I've tried either pull at the crotch or dig in or the boobs support area aren't where my actual boobs are! If you are super super tall then the long length ones might be too short to do this but there seem to be a lot of options either way. I think 1 piece suits tend to look more chic and my combo looks more functional/ workout like- YMMV

Huh? What's shocking here? I did competitive swimming (not the way they do it in this area BTW, attached to a 'pool' by neighborhood) all the way through college- so ended in 2002 when women weren't wearing the longer jammer suits yet- every single teammate I know did this to pee- from like 7 to 21.
