Bikini or one piece swimsuit?

I'm not as confident as I was, I'm not as slim and toned as I was now at 43, going on holiday in a week. I definitely look better in a one piece and you can get some sexy nice ones, does anyone else wear a one piece on the beach , my bum and legs are good it's just my horrible tummy??!!!

Well I'm here now and it is mainly bikinis but a mixture but I have to say I actually don't feel that bad in my bikini and realise I'm actually quite slim compared to some 😳

Glad you are feeling good :)

I don't want to look sexy in a bikini or a swimsuit...I don't wear clothes to look sexy, it's really not how I like to dress, which make beachwear a tricky affair. I'm more at home in androgynous clothing....much prefer Seafolly's 50's style all in one but dislike halter neck from a comfort perspective. Bikini top with swim shorts leaves me feeling more myself and therefore more confident. I never wear what everyone else wears anyway.
Hope you have a lovely holiday OP!

Bikini. Definitely.

Those slashed to the waist numbers are a bit wannabee WAG.

For anyone wondering there is quite a few tankinis here and one pieces so don't be worrying about wearing them, I may wear one of mine I certainly wouldn't feel out of place. I'm in Lanzarote btw

It turned out to be a fab holiday and my dp must of approved of my swimwear as he proposed last night on the beach 😊

I wear both.

This year I took swimsuits, bikinis and a tankini on hols with me.

I'm a fairly slim but a bit wobbly 39 yr old who has had two c-sections and with ghostly Irish skin Grin.

I wear the swimsuits and tankinis for the first few days until I get over the shock of wearing barely any clothes around strangers and then wack out the bikini when I stop giving a shite (usually week two of a holiday).

There are some lovely one pieces now about if you really can't face a bikini. Some of the cutaway styles are very flattering but still give belly coverage.
