It was the perfect cut for me and very flattering. I still have stretch marks from pregnancy, but I'm holding hope that I'll get my midsection back in shape enough to wear it again. I got an ugly mom-suit after DS was born, since my sister had a destination wedding in FL when I was 6 weeks post partum. I'm sure it would be more flattering now, since I've lost more weight, but I really hate one pieces. I got it at Target on clearance though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-87255 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 04:55:38 +0000 cupcakemama 87255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to get a new pair of swimmers at the start of summer for sailing. I usually wear bikinis but there was no way I was going to find one that would fit. The boobs were out of control! I tried on some of my old ones and the tops weren't decent. DH was a fan, as long as I promised not to leave the house!</p> <p>I bought a one piece, black with little white polka dots ( snap rubies!).<br /> I am hoping that next year I am back wearing bikinis! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-87235 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 03:49:10 +0000 looch 87235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another thing to consider is what kind of suit you need when you're taking your LO into the water. My son loves to pull the straps of mine, so it's important that the coverage is good, because the last thing I need is a boob popping out during swim class! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86935 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 12:47:43 +0000 polkadots 86935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh swimsuit season.. lucky one peices are back in style now.. not just a mom trend! Ive been searching via pinterest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86908 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:48:00 +0000 Maysprout 86908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm debating this now too. My pre-pregnancy 2-pieces don't fit right. I've got boobs that weren't there before and my body shape is a bit different. I think I'm going to give it a month to warm up (I always shed a couple pounds in the warm weather being outside more) and then brave the stores. I'm not against two pieces now but I think I need to do a few crunches to get the confidence needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86902 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:35:24 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 86902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am loving my 1 pieces! They are retro looking and fab! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86881 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:04:28 +0000 BabyLove 86881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so funny because I was just having this convo with my sister in law. I have SO.MANY bikinis that I doubt I'll ever get into again. Definitely won't be this summer. I was the nut who used to have a new bathing suit for everyday of a vacation. Now I want to find just one bathing suit that will hide, well, every inch of me... still searching.... </p> <p>:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86876 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:00:03 +0000 venice4504 86876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Not at all! All my bikinis from pre-pregnancy still fit and look good. I've had to look for some that are cut a little differently though since a couple of the string bottoms are a little too low with my scar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86858 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:38:10 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 86858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww the responses to this thread are making me sad. I was very athletic before the baby and during the pregnancy. We're heading to FL to visit family in June and we'll be spending a lot of time on the beach. Guess I need to start looking into getting a tankini or one piece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86813 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 09:13:35 +0000 heffalump 86813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way will I ever be in a bikini again. Now I'm all about a tankini with a skirt. Such a mommy swim suit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86805 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:56:58 +0000 Rubies 86805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I got it at Motherhood. It's black with white polkadots! Very cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86800 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:42:05 +0000 chopsuey 86800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: What brand did you get/where did you get it? I think we're gonna take a trip to the beach soon. Definitely will not be wearing a bikini! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86792 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 07:41:14 +0000 Rubies 86792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months after having a baby, I needed a new bathing suit and nothing fit/looked nicely on me. I ended up buying a really cute 2-piece (tankini) maternity swimsuit and it is flattering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86779 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 03:18:25 +0000 looch 86779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One pieces with something interesting going on, either a one shoulder style, with ruching, a pattern, etc.</p> <p>I like the JCrew jersey lomalina suits, I stalk the site when they're on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimsuits#post-86771 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:33:36 +0000 autumnlove 86771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am/was pretty obsessed with swimsuits before having my LO...<br /> I don't think I will ever wear a bikini again! How about you, what kind of swimwear do you rock now? </p>
