@Fundraiser12345 Boden's Kythira swimsuit is lovely too. The ruching is very good for hiding tums . You don't need to spend that much as other brands will have similar.

I love the first one op, beautiful!!

I think you would look better in an all in one. Bravissimo are good to try

I think they are both fine but the floral one is prettier.
Imo if you are carrying a bit of extra weight (I say this as someone who is about a stone and a half overweight) then one piece suits are flattering as they give you a more streamline figure, or those tankini style tops that cover your belly.
However that's my opinion as I don't feel comfortable in a bikini anymore, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Look fine to me!

Picklelily99 · 03/04/2026 16:22

I like both, but especially the flowery one! if it's a confidence issue, I think you need to OWN IT! Be brazen, be bold, occupy your space; Jackie O sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat. Make no apologies for your presence - you will be STUNNING!!! just remember, you have given birth to babies, that in itself, makes you amazing! Have a wonderful holiday!

Neither the OP nor the other poster who posted a photo at 11.55 has a belly button. Where are their belly buttons? Or is mine in the wrong place? Because if I took a photo like that you would see mine.

Mine is lower down, it’s a high waisted bikini

I think it appears lower if you’re overweight as it gets pulled down. It’s probably just under the waistband on both women.

Yeah that’s where it is on me. I don’t like showing it as it’s a mess after an operation

Sheepsmellnice · 03/04/2026 17:46

You look great in them

Zanussiforme · 03/04/2026 17:56

Ditch the stripes but u look great in the flowered ine

Hollybollyhughes · 03/04/2026 17:58

In what way bad? I'm older than you so body confidence is something I cannot relate to. But just wear what you like.

busymomtoone · 03/04/2026 17:58

I love the flowery one - you look great in that. The striped one I’m not personally so keen on simply because I don’t think that material with stripes looks great - nor does it particularly suit your skin colour , but truthfully , just enjoy sunbathing / swimming and being you. Our bodies are never as young again as each day we wake , so just enjoy and be confident - you look fine!

LilyBunch25 · 03/04/2026 18:08

The flowery ones are my favourite 😊

exaltedwombat · 03/04/2026 18:13

They’re fine. Have you got some nice skimpy ones too?

IWasThereOnce · 03/04/2026 18:15

You are very in proportion and they look nice

You look good in then, wear them and don't worry. If love to be able to wear something like this but after a big weight loss I have very saggy legs which need covered up.

Overtheatlantic · 03/04/2026 18:21

I think you’ve got good muscle tone.

Fundraiser12345 · 02/04/2026 14:56

First of all thank you so all so much for such lovely comments they’ve gave a huge confidence boost which I kind of needed!!

im gonna pop some tan on too which always makes me feel a little better

both swim suits are from SHEIN

YABU for buying from Shein.

OneBlueFinch · 03/04/2026 18:33

I think you should wear what you feel most comfortable with ,and I think they are lovely , maybe add a little self tan? but I usually go with a one piece now . Or maybe even a block colour like navy or black ? Have a lovely holiday xx
