Bikini!

This is mine. I wanted a one piece, with underwired bra and there wasn't a huge selection but it's ok. I look nothing like this lady in it though *sob*

@foodnerd81, it's disgusting how many swimsuits i have ordered online, tried on, and returned!

After my first, bikini's. After my second, one pieces. Even with a one piece, I have to find something that sucks it all in and pushes the girls up a little.

Mine is a tankini that looks like a retro one-piece. It hides everything (yay for black!) and I bought little boyshort bottoms for it. I really liked mine from last summer, but I lost 20lbs and now it doesnt fit.

Swimsuits are depressing.

@foodnerd81, heh, nobody even sells my size in store. I gave up after a long day of trekking around the mall. Free shipping and returns PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

Bikini with tshirt and shorts over top. I don't take off the tshirt or shorts.

The first summer when I was just weeks PP, I had a skirted tankini. I needed to be able to easily nurse in it and was still significantly bigger than my normal size. The second year I got a bikini. Ideally, I would have a really flattering one piece, but I am really tall and it is impossible for me to find one that fits without spending an arm and a leg and having to order online and be unsure of sizing. The bikini I got has under wire and a fold over bottom and I find it to be pretty flattering.

I wore a bikini last year at 9+ months postpartum. This year I'm 7 weeks pp with number 2 and haven't quite figured out a solution yet. Gotta go shopping, but would like to lose a little more weight first!

I wore a bikini. My top piece was underwire.

@hilsy85: you could probably do like a swimsuit cover-up? That way you have options?

I got a black one piece with a halter top that worked ok. I didn't hate it, which was more than I expected! I even went without a cover up at the pool

I honestly never thought I'd wear a tankini in my life, but I'm so much more jiggly that I started wearing them after having my son. Plus I like to be really active with him, and I just feel like I can be with more covered up. That said, I also keep a bikini on hand that I wear a men's columbia shirt over for those times that I want a little more sun on my tummy. I still feel wierd in a one piece.

@lovelyplum, I have a freya that is pretty serious-underwire and the whole 9 yards. And I have a La Blanca tankini and halter and both are very good fits up top. I'm a 36E and the 12 in La Blanca fits great (they don't do cup sizes. Grumble)
