eriadne 6 Posted June 1, 2013 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. 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! 2 TheRealMeIsHere! and Eat That Frog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GypsyQueen 198 Posted June 2, 2013 You could get a swim shirt to wear for "sun protection". Kills 2 birds with one stone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jandseakin 96 Posted June 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted June 2, 2013 Dang...wish I knew about that hydrochic site before! Could have gone swimming without embarrassment long ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annek2014 58 Posted March 16, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted March 16, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GibbsGirl 483 Posted March 17, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JupiterinVirgo 846 Posted April 20, 2016 You may have to time travel to the 1920s to find bathing suits with sleeves and pants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted April 20, 2016 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.

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted April 20, 2016 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.

Cinnamon16 18 Posted April 27, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
