so what does a formerly fairly fit (looking) person, now a bit, er, squidgy, post babies (with NO inclination to exercise)... wear on a beach then?

[BoysOnToast]

ive seen swimming cossies with support in the tummy, but what about the dimply thights etc? do i just accept that from now on i get to be 'a woman of a certain age' on the beach? and buy some nice sarongs?

where and what?

currently size 12-14, 5'4", 9stone7. boobs not much to write home about either.

cheers

ok, maybe ill rephrase...

I am an 8-10 and have always worn sarongs on the beach, my bikini days are over thanks to the stretch marks but there are some really nice sarongs out there.
Tescos have some lovely beach wear!

Fake tan before you even start. That'll hide rice pudding thighs a bit.

A bikini. You are a mother! Celebrate your wrinkly tum and dimply thighs Look at what they helped produce! (well, maybe not the thighs. They probably didn't have a lot to do with it )

oh god yes, bikinis are not going to work for me unless i suddenly develop a desire to work out every day (not likely)

Go retro and buy one of those 1940s jobs then you'll be the quirkiest woman on the beach.
Don't buy a shroud, it just looks sooo yesterday.

yes, quirky sounds about right.

so no exciting links to droolsome swimwear then? [hopes dashed]

ho hum

a burka sounds quite attractive tbh...
