HELP - need a new swimming costume

3 replies

Right. I need a new swimming costume - one that I can actually swim in (rather than a lazying about by the pool one). I want one that isn't skinny and covers all my wobbly bits - I have a lot.

The other problem is I'm apple shaped. I have no waist, big boobs and thinner hips - so am thinking tankini may work as can buy a size 14-16 top and 12-14 shorts - but last time I had a tankini I spent all the time pulling the top down. Also interested in legsuit type as keen to cover up as much as possible but a lot of reviews say the legs roll up. Do I need to go for swimsuit with built in bra?

Major help needed. i haven't been swimming for years because I look so shit in a costume

You need underwire in your swimsuit. Then your boobs won’t hang down like a fat roll Grin. Fantasie Swimwear are pretty reasonable.

How often are you planning to go swimming? If regularly your No1 priority should be chlorine resistance otherwise you'll have to replace regularly. And make sure you rinse out in water after a swim, don't chuck in the machine.

Zoggs are really good for chlorine resistance but no longer do swimming costumes with integral wired bras. You may be able to get some end of stock online though.
