NSV: Bathing Suit

[rydersmama 804]

Good for you!! Isn't it nice to be able to shop at a reasonably priced store?

I knew my bathing suit was getting too big, but kept wearing it because I was hesitant to get a new one...they're so expensive at the "plus size" clothing stores.

Anyway, had to break down and get one when my boobs were basically floating outside my suit during deep Water aquasize.

I went to Walmart and got a suit for $30...I was beyond happy!! No more flashing the lifeguards!!

that is awesome!! the thought of putting on a bathing suit frightens me! I am 43 years old and have NEVER owned a bathing suit - how crazy is that?

Never owned a bathing suit? Inconceivable!

You must correct that right away! The biggest bathing suit I ever owned was a size 32. I am currently in a 22 (top) and 24 (bottom). I have never not had a bathing suit. I would go crazy if I couldn't swim.

The first NSV is that you walked into a store to shop for one in the first place!! The second NSV is that it fit and I bet you looked amazing....congratulations @Innersurfergirl, it is a big deal!

@@Inner Surfer Girl fantastic feeling, yes? I did the same last month and after being required to get my suits online, it is liberating and worth celebrating.

I can't wait until you post about you surfing as a NSV - it will happen! And you'll be in a cute swimsuit to boot!

ISG, how good is that? What a great feeling. You have worked hard for that. I want to be in the surf by Christmas. I will have to buy a boogie board. Like you I want to exercise in a pool, another month and i will be able to. How good to move out of the obligatory black and navy swimsuits made for larger women. Grab yourself a yellow one! Congratulations.

You go!!!! Had to do the dreaded bathing suit shopping myself last week & it wasn't TOO painful. How awesome is it to shop right off the rack and not have to try every single thing on?!?! LOVE these kind of NSVs!

Congratulations! That's amazing.

We went to a pool party last weekend and I had a massive amount of panic the morning of - my 2XL swim trunks looked massive and wouldn't even stay up with the ties. For sh**s and giggles I grabbed a pair of my partner's L swim trunks...and they fit - like REALLY well. And no belly hangover! One of my favorite NSVs so far.

Awesome NSV! Congrats!

I went back to Target to get another suit because I need one for our pool at home (so I can keep my other suit in my locker at the wellness center).

The first time I went I looked in the swimwear section first but then found that the plus size suits were in the plus size clothing section. This time, I went straight to the plus size section, no suits. They had moved them to the regular swim suit section.

I cannot wait to fit in "regular" clothes so I don't have to feel like I am on a scavenger hunt for clothes.

I also had a coupon for our local sporting goods store. I stopped in to see if they possibly has anything I might fit in. I got swim goggles and a hot pink under armour XL sports bra. I tried it on when I got home. My boobs are a bit squished, but it fit around my ribcage!
