...to buy a swimsuit with legs?

[BaldricksTrousers]

Sorry for the strange wording. But I need a new one-piece swimsuit as I swim about three times a week for fitness. Most suits nowadays seem to be pretty high cut and I really dislike shaving my pubic area. Even trimming the hair doesn't seem to cut it. WIBU to buy a swimsuit that has built-in shorts like the one pictured? Or will I look strange? I should say that my body does not resemble the model's.

I have a nice swimsuit from sainsbugs with a skirt

Gleegeek, many have built in support, like a shelf lining. This speedo one does (I just bought one in the sale) and it also has slim pads which you can remove through a slit or keep in place (I remove them).

Thanks Puddock I didn't know that. I'm going to give that one a try.

Why are posters saying they're not suitable for the beach? I wouldn't look twice at anyone wearing any of these at the beach. The beach is the perfect place to wear swim wear of any type!

I have this one from Decathlon, though I only bought it the other week and haven't been swimming yet.

Just to warn you; I bought one and it looks ugly on me. But I'm a short fat person

I just bought a slazenger one for the same reason. Ive started baby swimming lessons and do not have to time or the inclination to bother with hacking away at my bikini line!!

I bought this one, I don't care if other people don't like it but it makes me feel far more comfortable. I'm an 8-10 but don't like high cut costumes that I have to pull out of my bum

I've seen people wearing leg suits - they generally look really nice!

I just wear a regular swimsuit when in my own pool (although I prefer to go without at night when DS is in bed and I'm on my own!). When at the beach, I either wear boy leg pants with a tankini top, or if I'm wearing a regular swimsuit, I will also often wear a swim skirt over it. Mine are similar to this pic (also have some that come to the top of my knees). They're a separate piece, so they don't look the old swimsuit with skirt built in that granny used to wear.

Porkless that's lovely! May I ask where it's from?

@RiverTam it's from Amazon I had an all black version last year. They wear really well and have underwire in for extra support.

I have one for exactly that reason - can't be bothered to shave or wax and deal with itchy regrowth, but don't quite have the confidence to parade around with it all hanging out (wish I did!). I do feel a little bit self conscious, but I'm often not the only woman at the pool wearing one. Go for it! Nobody really notices once you're in the water anyway.

The advantage of the shorter leg ones like the one Barbara posted, is that you can hoik the leg aside when you go for a wee! I can see the longer length one would be trickier for that but then you could always "go" in the shower, couldn't you...?
