renaissancewoman101 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I really wear a swimsuit only to swim. I don't like to lay out on the beach. I am a bit too self-conscious. I do have big thighs. At least when I swim, I am in the water and no one is really looking at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greywolf Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 can you swim with board shorts? Yup! Just don't get one that's too tight, because they feel tighter when wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 you can get a sarong. or what my samoan friends wear: lava lavas or something i think they're called. this is what my bathing suit looks like. the skirt isn't very long at all. id actually go as far as caling it just right: image removed here is my other bathing suit. i actually look pretty good in this picture, but i assure you, the playdoh factory was going on around the thigh area. that's why i can't wear this one much anymore. i wore it only b/c i knew no one woudl be at the beach that day (it was 4pm!) and i wanted something more colorful. i dont think i'll wear it again though. image removed and i jsut noticed i like making towels look like they're flying. go me.

greywolf Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I used to be really self-conscious about my legs (I have asian thighs), so I'd wear these. Unfortunately they have holes in them now because I wore them for 4th of July last year. -.- image removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissancewoman101 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hers, you look nice in the 2nd pic. I think the outfit looks good on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i have a pair of board shorts that go down to my knees. my boyfriend calls them my lesbian shorts. i need to get shorter ones. they're good to wear to the beach when you're on your way there or just walking around the sand and want to cover up some. i love board shorts, but i'm not comfortable swimming in them.

I've actually gotten compliments from those shorts. Although, I suppose the lesbian part is half-true. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I don't think I would EVER want to show off my body in a bikini or even a tankini. So I go with the old standby one-piece swimsuit. You know there are some really cute one pieces out there now. In this one at the beach a few years ago my tankini top had broke (I was livid because it was my favorite) while we were AT the beach so I had to go to one of the local shops and buy a bathing suit. Only one they had that I thought was reasonably cute which, for a one piece I don't think it's that bad! I look horrible on the other hand lol Hers you look amazing in that second shot! No play do factory going on at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Awww thanks guys. It's one of my favorite ones since I gained some weight. Covers up all the action going on in the hips and stomach area. Only problem is when you're being to pick something up, the skirt area has a tendency to fly up if the wind is blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generaldiscord Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hers, OG, WOW, you both look great! I do have a problem with the tops of my thighs, but wearing guys trunks would NOT work for me. There are enough people who think I'm lesbian already! I wouldn't mind if I actually WAS one, but people can be mean, and I'm not. I am pretty ripped on the top half, so I don't even wear normal length shorts in the summer. I guess I'll go and buy a pair of cute short board shorts and a swim suit on line. I checked the stores again, and they really don't have those styles here. I can't wait to hit the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
