Why cant I do up bodysuits?

MerryMidwinter · 10/01/2024 10:24

I used to wear them all the time in my teens but when I try them these days I literally cant reach the back bit to do it up between my legs (I know this contours up a very glamorous image). Is it because I've got larger or has the style changed?

Impossible to know. How much larger? Are you wearing one that's actually too small? I don't have any issues doing it; the strap naturally hangs down between my legs so all I have to do is reach for it and pull it through.

How much too high up is it?

They just unpop as soon as I sit down, so I just don't bother fastening them now. As long as they are tucked in.

Are you putting it on back to front?

Have you got a long torso maybe?

You could always make an extension piece if you wanted like people do for baby vests. https://mamaadventure.com/2020/04/30/diy-your-own-baby-vest-extenders/

I'd guess that they're too short in the body. Or your boobs are too big. I had this pre in the 80s (or 90s) although I'm short bodied

Is it the right way round?

StarlightLady · 10/01/2024 12:36

Because of poor (possibly male?) design. You risk deflowering yourself all over again and it’s really not worth it.

I am tall and large chested and bodysuits are just a no no. I’m bendy enough to do fasten them but sitting down brings a world of pain so fuck that.

I have a couple of really basic plain ones from M&S which I got for specific outfits and these are actually fine - stretchy enough to accommodate my long and booby torso.

I got some from the tall range of river island of all places, they’re great

They scream thrush every time I see them Confused

My adult dd is constantly picking hers out of either her arse or front region yuk Hmm

SirenSays · 10/01/2024 13:05

Long torso and huge boobs means I've never bothered doing them up. As long as they're tucked it looks the same

MerryMidwinter · 10/01/2024 21:05

I think it might be a boob issue. I’m buying the right size but there’s a lot of me to cram in 🤦🏻😂

I'm also tall, long bodied and large chested. The last few years of scrimping on the length of clothes to save a few pennies had done me no favours.

Im an E cup and i struggle with boohoo bodysuits, but im fine with newlook and primark bodysuits
