AIBU to think that little girls swim suits and pants shouldn't be high cut

[BenandBolly]

It seems impossible to find a pretty swimsuit that is straight cut on the leg nowadays. AIBU to think a high cut legs for pants (gap) and swimsuits (M&S amonst others) are totally inappropriate and ill fitting for little girls.

[Pagwatch]

High cut legs?
Really?

Dd gets swimsuits from gap and m&s . I haven't noticed them being highcut. Is it a new thing?
Can you link one?

[SchrodingersMew]

Hope you have a hard hat.

[BenandBolly]

why schrodingers mew?

I went to gap yesterday and the only pants available were high cut legs. They would have covered very little on my DD's.

[Pagwatch]

DD wears these for club swimming. This isn't what you mean is it?

[Napdamnyou]

Aren't they more likely to flap if they are shorts style? Pant style would fit more snugly. Sand in crevices is not amusing, whatever age you are.

[Napdamnyou]

Although where I live (tropics) UV shorts suits are the thing, children need to be protected from too much sun.

[BenandBolly]

Oh Pagwatch I talking for a 3 and 5 year old.

I'll see if I can find them, although TBH it's when they are on it's noticable that the cut is high leg.

Bean Because this subject comes up a lot along with bikini tops.

The opinion is always split and always gets heated.

There is nothing wrong with that swimsuit at all.

[BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability]

I assume youre looking for the bottom part to be more like this? (But obv a kids swimsuit, so not this one)

[BlackberryIce]

There are plenty on the m&s site that state 'medium leg'

Maybe shop around a bit op? It's easy enough

Well that cut on both my DD's exposes their front bottoms when they move a bit because it is unfathomably narrow, so for my DD's it is a problem.
Thanks for your prediction of the thread though

[squeakytoy]

I cant see any problem with them at all.

[BenandBolly]

It's just that both DD's were given swim suits and neither fitted due to the narrow cut and high leg. I will shop around though, thanks for the pointer to the medium leg

[SchrodingersMew]

If it shows there bits then surely it's just a case of them not fitting properly.

And all you like, have a quick search of threads like this and you will see why I don't think it will end well.

Thanks for the link, I don't even think they need to be shorts just straight and not so narrow cut and high so as not to expose bits

squeaky I thought they'd be ok too but when you try them on you realise just how narrow and high cut they are. They weren't just M&S BTW.

[MrsMiniversCharlady]

Front bottoms?! Do you mean their vulvas?

What is it about so-called 'high-cut' legs that you dislike so much?

[squeakytoy]

sounds like they were the wrong size to me. my grandaughter had one of those and it fitted fine..

[BenandBolly]

You might be right squeaky but they seemed tight enough on the body just baggy and very narrow at the bottom.

[BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability]

Oo, a thought!

Maybe you could get a shorts and vest tankini for them? Thats what I used to wear (I was always a tall child and even now I struggle to get a costume thats long enough in the body)

[cansu]

The one you linked to looks ok to me. I cannot say I have noticed this as a problem and I only buy dd comfy practical clothing. I think you are reading too much into this and looking for a problem. anything I have ought from places like marks is very ordinary little girlish not at all high cut or revealing in any weird.

[BenandBolly]

Good idea beyond

[BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability]

(In order to get a costume long enough in the body, it would then end up being baggy)

[BlackberryIce]

The reviews on that props swimsuit weren't great though.

Op.... Sporty styles tend to be medium leg
