swimsuit HELP

**wilsonfamily4** · 04-23-2008, 07:31 PM

Well I am now looking for a swimsuit. I was going to wait until later in the year when I had hopefully lost some weight BUT we are going on a few weekend getaways over the next 3-4 months where I will NEED a bathing suit. I have not bought one since before kids. And strangely enough it still fits BUT I now have some stretch marks on my thighs that I would like to hide so I am in the market for a new one. I was looking at Lands End but was wondering if you guys had any preference for shorts vs the skirts? I am fine with any type of top but want to hide some of the bottom.

So I would like some ideas!

I LOVE summer HATE swimsuit shopping!

I think the skirts are cute! II am on the short side (5' 4") and have what I call "fireplug legs" so I don't look good in the shorts at all - the skirts are much more forgiving. Guess it depends on your build. Lands End supposedly has great fitting suits that last for a long time.

I would rather ram a stick in my eye than go swimsuit shopping!

Good luck!!!

I haven't tried the skirts, but do like the shorts with a tankini top. Just ordered last week and waiting for the package. I hate bathing suit shopping as well!

When they start selling sweatshirt-kinis I'll start bathing suit shopping

The one problem I have with the skirts is that they float up when you are in the water. That is sort of a bother, but it does help hide my yucky upper thighs. I would also rather poke a stick in my eye as try on swim suits.

I do feel your pain. I bought my swim suits last month. I do NOT enjoy shopping for that. Let me shop for ANYTHING else BUT that.....A very unenjoyable experience.....

I personally like the skirts over the shorts. I think they are cute. I actually got a little skirty 2 peice suit this time. I don't like my inner thighs....this year they have grown closer together...LOL....so...the skirt hid that. So, the skirt it was!
