tankini or swimsuit?

[tvfriend]

Bikinis ditched since recently having 2 babies in 17 months and have always favoured the tankini option but now thinking that a swimsuit is more flattering??
Is it a better option for hiding the flabby tummy do you think? (Size 12(ish..) and almost 40

swimsuit
tankinis are odd

Depends if you'll want to wear stuff over it - I'm assuming here it's for hols and not swimming - if so, tankinis more practical imo.

Tankinis have a tendency to just showcase the flab by rolling up- I'd say go for a swimsuit. Or my personal favourite, the retro look

tankini, the kind with a long top and wee shorts

the top can be long enough to crumple a bit and hide wobbles

the shorts are just nice, you can walk to the ice cream shop and not think about your crotch

Swimsuit, if you can't wear a bikini than you can't wear a tankini imo.

Tankinis never cover all the way down to your pants. How do you feel about the 2 inches just above your knickers being on show?

they do if you're short

are you short?

And do you have large norks? If you do make sure you get your swimsuit/tankini/whatever in a bra size from a sensible place so you have support - well-supported boobs will make sure no-one notices your tummy at all!

If you've got great norks, go for this one

I like this

polka dot

halterneck

strapless

Thanks nappyaddict! Thought I'd looked at all the ones on m&s- seems not!
Missmelly- I look uncannilly like the model in your link . Norks not too bad pre Dc's, now not so great..
I have a couple of tankinis already- may investigate the swimsuit option.
