[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two piece - My kids have both always worn two pieces. Since they were toddlers. They are much easier to take on and off. Yesterday, my 10 year old wore a full sleeve one piece suit with a zipper and couldn't get it back on after going to the bathroom.

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.[/quote]

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 [/quote]

What, no? That's disgusting.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
