MSK, thats called a one piece with a wrap....

I hate how the new trend is for EVERYONE to wear a bikini (everyone under 40 I guess). They don't even seem to bother making one-piece suits for anyone under the Grandma age, so when you do find a one-piece it's usually got some flower design on it. Though French bikinis are coming back, thank god, so I guess I'll just cover up with those.

I'm Tall and hourglass shape.....so thanks for the advice......
and thinking about trying that Nivea challenge.

you shouldnt worry about what people think of you....who cares all that matters is your opinion!

Ogawa Burukku: There are a ton of very flattering, youthful one peices out there. Heck, even Victoria's Secret has them. Personally, I prefer to wear a bikini, but to each their own.

YOURS WAITS...

How about a suit that covers your legs right above or below the knee, like a spandex thing? That would be comfy, not too revealing and appropriate for all us ladies that hate our legs. Has anybody seen these?

Excellent information... Although I must agree with the comment made previously; what ever happen to the bathing suits that actually covered what needed to be covered. Although unpopular, I think more people should subscribe to the belief that less is not always best when dealing with bathing suites. Cover up people. On a side note check out the fab dresses on www.GoFazzio.com

great info .... gonna try Nivea ...

Hey Imogene, one-piece still show off a lot of skin especially those thighs. If you really want to keep your Holy Spirit, then wear suits that cover from neck to ankle.

whatever happened to those great bathing suits from the 20's and 30's? you know, the ones that were baggy and covered everything from chest to knees. oh how i wish those would come back into fashion!

What about those of us who are plus size hourglass shape? I didn't see any recommendations for those. And I'm going swimsuit shopping on Sat. Ugh!! I have awful thighs that I would love to cover up. I'm very top heavy with a smaller waist and bigger hips. Nothing flatters me! And, Pixie, sorry that us fat chicks offend your delicate eyes at the beach but we have the right to be there too. Enjoy the great body you apparently have while you have it because it may not last forever. Mine didn't. And you might want to work on your tolerance of all people. It will make your life much more enriched.

i like a skirt bottom, with a tankini top, a solid color on bottom, and a pattern on top, because i have an hourglass shape, but my hips are a little wide, and my waist is teeny tiny, and it makes my hips seem smaller and my waist a little bigger so i look halfway normal, lol

If boys and men can wear big sloppy swimtrunks, why on earth must girls and women wear swimsuits cut so closely to our crotches?!?! Why do I have to pay to have my hair ripped out so I don't have an unsightly hair anywhere? I've always thought it was kind of twisted to put little girls in swimsuits that are actually quite revealing compared to what little boys wear. Society needs to rethink this, because I know I have.

What about for people with an F cup on top, and not much belly/hips?

Ah yes, swimsuit season. The season when the people who really should cover up feel the unexplicable urge to wear speedos and thongs.

Sighs.

The only person's butt cheeks I want to see belong to my husband - and even I don't want to see them on the beach. Thank God we've got our own pool! Skinny dipping in the moonlight rocks!

If you want cool vintage looking bathing suits there's a really awesome (if a little spendy) website-www.modcloth.com. Most of the stuff on there isn't cheap by any means, BUT if you like that look they have REALLY cute stuff!

Hey the nurse, for your hourglass shape check out this website http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2010/05/how-to-find-the-sexiest-swimsuit-for-your-body-shape#slide=45

I'm actually glad that women's bathing suits are fitted. I tried swimming in baggy shorts a couple of times (I wear shorts over my suit if I am water skiing or wake boarding) and it's just annoying and cumbersome! Believe me, I too find it annoying to contantly have to shave, wax and pluck, and I really miss the boy short styles of bikini's, but I'll take skimpy and skin tight over clumsy and baggy. I suppose we could all wear skin tight, knee length, one piece short suits, but they are still skin tight and therefore not very modest. They also don't look comfortable at all. I just don't see a need for that. The human body is a beautiful thing and a little bikini can still look classy.
