swimsuits that cover loose skin?



Recommended Posts

Glad to see I'm not the only one trying to figure out how to go swimming without being mistaken for a partially-deflated beach ball. :P My inner thighs are so droopy that my old, skirted swimsuit can't hide it, plus it's a bit loose on me overall now.

Thanks for the suggestions!

You could get a swim shirt to wear for "sun protection". Kills 2 birds with one stone.

Yes...... I have found several websites with those and, along with swim shorts, I think that will be perfect. Many thanks to everyone who responded.

I know this is an old topic, but relevant to me. I have super skinny arms, excess skin on belly and thighs. Breast, well, they are a mess. :(

Check out surf wear. I wear a long-sleeved rash guard when I swim because I get cold.

Amazon has lots of options as well. I have been searching, I like board shorts and wear a sports bra type top under rashguard t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, or tank top. It all depends on the sun exposure. I am excited they are coming out with more woman's shorts options. Not a skirt type girl but nothing one piece fits properly anyway.

The rashguard swim shirts are so nice because unlike cotton they don't weigh you down.

The only issue, I'm having right now is finding the sports bra type top to go under it all. I prefer something that can un hook instead of going over my head due to an old softball arm. Let's say I have not been blessed enough to fit into the ones I have found. Last years, is not an option. It's a good problem to have.

You may have to time travel to the 1920s to find bathing suits with sleeves and pants

Actually not. There are quite of few options these days.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned H2O but that catalog has a lot of different options. If you look at surfing clothes and suites there are all kinds of lengths and variations, too.

You can find a ton of rashguard/sufer type stuff on Amazon. LL Bean actually has some cute stuff too.

If you google rashguard you can find all kinds of cute options.

When I am at the Water this year I will be boating mostly so these options are perfect.

I got a set from Coolibar. If you wait for sales it isn't too bad. I got a swim shirt and a pair of Capri pants with an attached skirt. I wanted to hide due to weight but all my friends loved them and all got some too! They wear great in the Water and dry fast when you get out.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
