    I went shopping for a swimsuit last week … fuck me sideways, all the fancy stuff was either stupidly expensive, or frumpy, or full of that shaping shit.

    In the end I went and got a basic one-piece that’s made for people who actually want to swim, there’s nothing extra in it - for better or worse - all eyes will be on my nipples, I’m sure.

    It was really cheap, and in happy colours, too :-)

      I have a 2 piece “al la carte” that I’m happy with rn but this is my plan for my next swim suit. Thanks for the idea.

        If I could have found a nice cheap bikini I would totally have gone for that instead, but I could only find ugly or expensive ones this year … my last bikini top had stitching coming apart - had I realised I’d have had a go at reparing it

        Last year I paired a humankind top (it’s basically a sports bra for water) with a pair of solid-colored swim shorts from the guys’ section. The shorts have a shorter inseam but in a “men’s” way so I still get plenty of bum coverage. I feel cute in the combo, but more importantly it covers what I need to cover and (for better) does the opposite of sexualize me.

        That said I definitely want to find a cute one-piece that I’m comfortable in!
