what do you think is the appropriate age is for wearing a 2-piece bathing suit?

Two pieces are more comfortable for being active and using the restroom. We don’t dress to please prude DC moms, so my daughters have worn two pieces as long as I can remember. I do as well. Nothing sexual about it.

I don’t like the ones that look more like a bra or bikini but my DD has been wearing sportier ones since toddlerhood. athleta has some cute ones that are two piece but they can still move.

Any age is fine for a 2 piece. Showing a belly button isn't sexual. Honestly, they are more convenient for young kids. Also my DD has a long torso, so 1 pieces always ride up her butt.

We let my now 12 year old start wearing midkinis/cropped tankinis at around 8 when she asked when she could start wearing suits that "stick out the belly". I find nothing about these suits that sexualize a young girl. If there are some creepy teens getting turned on by seeing 2 inches of my child's stomach, then that's THEIR problem and their PARENTS' issue, not MY or MY CHILD'S issue.

You do not pull a one piece suit off to go to the bathroom, you just pull the gusset all the way to the side. I cant believe this isn’t common knowledge for all women and their daughters

What, no? That's disgusting.

What's disgusting about it? Np and I can't believe there are people who avoid doing this! Truly can't wrap my head around your reaction.

I can't even imagine my 5 year old pulling her swimsuit to the side in order to pee without making a huge mess and pee all over her hands, btw, so we'll stick to the tankini/rashguard + swim bottom combination. Also, sometimes kids have to poop at inopportune times? How do you handle that with your gusset situation?

Personally, I find it bizarre that you're so upset about putting a child in a suit she finds comfortable because you think it's "sexy". There's nothing sexy about a 5 year old, and if you think there is, then you have some serious problems.

Agree with this.

Agreed, but I never see girls wearing suits like the bottom two.

I like 2 pieces for convenience to use bathroom. As long as the top cover bellu button likes tank top/t shirt style, and bottom is boy shorts style or bikini style with skirt.

I have been looking for zippered rash guard top and separate bottom with skirt/ruffles. Any link recommendation for 6 year old?

NP. You don't think your 5 year old could pull her swimsuit to the side and then pee w/o peeing on her hands? What? Swimsuits are super stretchy. 5 year olds are not toddlers. I guarantee you that every dancer, gymnast and swimmer has peed this way basically forever. No one takes the whole bodysuit off every time they have to pee.

I don't understand two piece for any age but you do you.

Swim shorts with tank top or rash guard top are exception.

I always had a two piece bathing suit because for my daughter because it made going to bathroom so easy.

The best age to wear bikini is toned and perky.

I asked my dd about her one pieces and she said she used to pee in the toilet right through the swimsuit. I had no idea.

I didn’t know that seeing a bit of exposed midriff on minor girls would send DCUM running for the smelling salts.
