How the f**k do I find a swimsuit?

@annaad0617 This company makes great quality swimsuits that are flattering and stylish even on my post baby and post COVID body https://ca.cupshe.com/collections/o...MIg6TAmeSs9wIVRxvUAR2fQwJlEAAYASABEgIoJPD_BwE

@raeclark Someone else recommended them! I think these might be it!

@annaad0617 Three kids and similar proportions to you except my butt is just nonexistent flat. Also nursing.

I have two suits I love. One is from Summersalt and one is from Boden.

@dachinedur I like the Summersalt two pieces! Do you like the quality?

 

[dachinedur]

@annaad0617 Yes the quality is amazing! I wear it in our rec center pool a lot which has tons of chlorine and it’s stood up to lots of washes.

 

[annaad0617]

@dachinedur Awesome, thank you!!

@annaad0617 I just got a suit from Adore Me (online). I've bought two other suits from them before, all good quality, all fit well according to their size guide (well, the first two don't fit anymore because heeeeey had another baby). I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs and just got a sleek black one piece with a low neck. Keeps all the jiggly bits contained but also feels a little sexy. They've got lots of options on their website with different styles for bottoms.

@bsssg They have great underwear, I’ll take a look at their swimsuits- thank you!

@annaad0617 I’ve always worn board shorts because I’m super active and don’t need the extra worry of my vulva peeking out.

 

[annaad0617]

@clearraindrops I have some swim shorts from Title Nine that I should remember to pack!

 

[gotjcinsideme313]

@annaad0617 Everything But Water. They’re expensive, but extremely flattering. From the bikinis to the one pieces they’re all good quality and fit well. That’s the only place I’ll shop for swim suits

 

[annaad0617]

@gotjcinsideme313 I’m willing to pay a bit if it’s something that I wear all summer and it makes me feel good! Thank you!

@annaad0617 I’m 5’3” and 198, I opted for a one piece cause I wouldn’t find any 2 piece that I liked.

 

[annaad0617]

@jn8campos I struggle with one pieces because it’s constricting on my stomach, and makes me uncomfortable!

But - kudos to you for finding one that you like!! Swimsuit shopping is harder than jean shopping!

 

[jn8campos]

@annaad0617 I’m not too happy with it but I’m hoping to just get over my fear once I’m wearing it

 

[melissaf77]

@annaad0617 I don’t have specific suggestions but maybe a swim skirt bottom would be more comfortable. The ruffles and extra fabric can make your butt look “normal” (i put in quotes because every butt should be normal but you know what I mean)

 

[annaad0617]

@melissaf77 I get what you’re saying! Sometimes butts just need a little help!

 

[simpleman6565]

@annaad0617 I love loose rash guards and swim shorts for this reason. I want to be able to enjoy my time in the water with my kids (plus sun protection yay!). I don't like that my body looks like a troll but I don't want it distracting me from what's important, having fun with my babies! So I just nix the cute one or two piece for now and just wear a sports bra, swim shirt, and swim shorts. Bonus: I look sporty even though my athletic abilities are laughable in every sense of the word.

 

[annaad0617]

@simpleman6565 I’ve got a great pair of swim shorts and just bought a sun shirt, so that might be a good option!

I hate to focus on how I look when I should be spending time with my family, but it’s hard when I’m still self conscious. Thanks for the suggestion!
