bathing suits?

[Dihead]

What type of bathing suits are good for women with a little 'fluff' around the stomach area..

 

Is there maybe something that hangs looser in the midsection rather than accentuating a spare tire?

[travlin housewife]

from what i have seen-the tankini is the way to go. color,style depend on other figure concerns. most importantly-do your best and relax and forget about it! take a good honest look at the people around you. my first cruise-well it wasnt "baywatch" (thank god) in fact even when i was on South Beach i saw plenty of the same walmart shoppers i see everywhere else! i think amt of time concerned with this should be minimal. have fun!

The stomach is my "trouble" area and I have found that Tankinis work well for me - especially when you can choose separate sizes for top and bottom. You can generally find tops that cover all (or most, if that's your choice) of your skin, and they come in some really cute styles. In my experience, wearing a 1 piece tends to draw more attention to your stomach than a 2 piece. A nice option for really downplaying the tummy is wearing a solid, dark color on the bottom, and something bright and colorful on top.

 

Good luck!

Well, since the exercise plan went astray I plan on inflicting my "mummy tummy" on fellow cruise pax by wearing my 2 piece. :D

 

Lands End makes great one piece bathing suits and their customer service is excellent.

A one-piece tank with rouching in the middle will disguise that pesky tummy.

LOL,

 

I bought a bathing suit today from newport news. They have lots of options. The one I got was a one shouldered tankini and cute bottom. I like to drape a nice wrap around the waste..it helps..also if you are walking around, if you can wear heels, it elongates the legs.

Can I ask where you got it?

[janabug]

Here's a direct link to the suit http://www.silhouettes.com/Parent.asp?product=505899x&dept%5Fid=16700

Be careful wearing heels on a wet deck, or if there is a lot of movement, no one wants you to break a leg or twist an ankle. :)

I've been debating buying this one:

 

http://www.swimsuitsforall.com/products.asp?product_id=100694&dept_id=100057&parent_id=100000

 

But it's price tag is holding me back since right now our November cruise to the Panama Canal is uncertain. (We might be switching to Australia/New Zealand in March, so it's a good trade!) I don't want to spend that much on a suit I might not wear until March. (There's always the hope I will shrink by then. Heh.)

 

I do love swimsuitsforall.com though. Great selection.

If I ever wear heels with a swimsuit... someone shoot me. please.

I bought my two mix and match tankinis online at www.landsend.com. They have a (depressingly accurate) model that you can plug in your measurements and see what items look like on you.

 

I have a tummy on me. I was dismayed to see how icky the model looked, but when I got a suit on her that looked good - it looked good on me, too.

This is a cute suit. I don't think the price is that bad, I've paid more for a swim suit.

Now that's a great price for a swim suit. I may have to pick this one up.:p

[janabug]

I bought it at regular price and was very upset to see the sale price. I then was happy again when I saw they didn't have my size anymore. I would have missed out if I waited for the sale!

MIRACLE SUIT--- works wonders hehe

I also purchased a couple of tankinis from lands end. Even with the tummy, they looked nice on me. Right now, some of the suits are on sale but hurry because quantities are getting pretty scarce.

[ShedQueen77]

I bought this one from JCPenney. Mine is black and pink though, not brown. I have a midsection from hell and this suit hides it nicely. Also, the halter top brings attention away from my belly and to my chest. Can't beat that! ;)

 

[Lynn the Cruiser]

Definitely a tankini with a PRINTED top. Actually shirts and dresses that are a print fabric can hide fluffy middles. I wear mostly all printed tops to hide my rolls. I saw that on a TV show once, maybe Oprah. And also I just read or saw that solid black dresses often shows more rolls than other colors and prints.

That is a really cute suit. I just looked on eBay (search Christina tankini) and found a very similar one (new with tags) for 38.00. There are a lot of good deals there.

[sailorwife]

Hi janabug, I also live in Ontario and would like to know about shipping from USA to Canada, extra cost etc.

Thanks in advance

I went to walmart last night and bought a suit that somewhat looks like this:

although it doesn't hide every bump, it is black and It does draw your eye up towards the boob area because of the deep V halter style..but it was on sale for $7.00 so im not really going to complain all that much. Can't beat the price that's for sure!
