Need a "mom" bathing suit

Get this one from nordstrom. It is extremely flattering and not too old or frumpy

Athleta tankinis. Purchase the top and bottom separately, which helps for sizing. Their suits are designed for swimming and playing games, so they aren't too bad with regards to wedgies or sliding off when you dive into the pool. And you can always get a bikini top, too, for when you aren't chasing kids around or are feeling more confident. Lots of different styles, colors and patterns. You are bound to find something that suits your personal style and figure.

I also have a Lands' End tankini in basic black. Boring, but works without being memorable.

I would caution not to get anything in white, because sunblock will stain it yellow. And as a mom, you will get sunblock on your suit.

Wow, is Land's End that bad? I have several tanktinis from them. I'm 40, 5'5" and 115 lbs. I don't think they look bad on me!

You're 40, not 28 (like OP.)

Several of the reviews mention post-baby bodies too lol


+100. I do the hlater style bc it works better for my shoulders/boobs. But this.

I stopped buying anything else at JCrew, but still buy their swim suits.

OP, you sound tiny, so I'd just order a ton of one pieces or tankinis and see what you like. I am 36 and I think Lands End is a bit matronly...

The only bathing suits I ever see at Costco are those huge floral prints that I can only picture on my grandmother. Do they sell younger, more modern patterns?

My dh once offered to pay me money NOT to save money by buying clothing from Costco, lol.

OP I am going to go ahead and say you can pull off any kind of swimsuit you want. Of course if you feel more comfortable in a one-piece you should get one, but you don't need a "mom" swimsuit when you're a thin 28 year old just because you have a kid.

Recently, I start to buy some dresses from costco because the price is ok for me & free shipping & can return at costco store.
The dresses are nice. Even I do like prana dresses & title nine dresses more but I just don't want to spend $80 per dress.
If you know where I can find nice dress like costco with about the same price, please let me know.

I hate costco's clothes. Their "smalls" are a medium/large at any other store. I'm 130lbs and can't wear any clothes on the rack. Why do they not sell XS?
