So it's summer... The time of getting our bodies out and feeling self conscious. On days where it's sunny it seems that pretty much the whole of the country head to the beach or into the back yard (garden if they're one of the lucky ones) and browning ourselves.
With the current growth in obesity I am seeing more massive bellies in bikinis than ever. Not a good look unless you want to be rolled into the ocean after being mistaken for a beached whale to be honest.
I decided to write this post about swimwear as a larger woman hoping to help those not wanting to be known for the rest of their life as a whale.
Really to be honest I don't understand why they make bikinis in anything over a size 18-20 because it really is not flattering on anyone larger.
If I want a two piece then I go for a tankini plus it still lets you tan your back because you can roll it up. I also usually mix it with a high waisted brief which helps suck in the muffin top :D
Generally I go for a nice one piece. If I'm gonna be out in public somewhere like the beach or lounging by the pool on holiday I prefer the ones that look a little fancier such as control rouching details around the stomach region and underwired cups because you don't really want your tits flopping about as you roll over to even your tan. I also love bright prints which is odd due to my size issue but somehow I feel more like people are admiring the print than wondering "how many pies did she eat for that belly?" if you don't feel comfortable with a print though black and red never fail to look good whether you're as pale as a ghost or as brown as caramel.
But if I'm just going for a swim in the local swimming baths I just go for a regular cheapo cossie as long as its tight enough to hold my boobs in xD
Now technically I can't tell you what to wear so I'm telling you my experience and letting you judge from it :) so go out then and get splashing!
The random chatter of a 19 year old girl as she goes through her life. Boys, clothes, shoes, weight, make up and maybe a hand full of crafts and recipes if I feel up to it.
