Rashie and boar dies here, with my pre DS bikini underneath! DS loves that Mummy wears a rashie like he does, plus I like setting a good example. And, I really feel the cold, so the easier keeps me a bit warmer.
All the other mummies here wear the same.... Though there is one mummy in mums group who wears a teeny tiny bikini and, at 20 weeks pregnant, had a smaller tummy than all of the rest if us! Personally, I wanted to throw something at her!
You can get some great tummy sucking tankinis - or ones with ruching or side gathering hidea tummy well. I always wear boardies over my bottoms as I have atrocious legs!
birqini for best-ever sun protection. actually mine's a 3/4 length one, so technically not a proper birqini, but anyway. I'd like one with full-length top and 3/4 length bottoms...maybe I should write to the company
I have a one piece - its got a bit of structure to it and sucks a few flabby bits in a bit and is super comfortable, I hate wet board shorts against my legs - ewwwww
I am currently a size 18, I have cellulite and my body has seen better days, but as a Mum I really don't care what people think anymore and am comfortable in a good fitting one piece.
At swimming lessons I must tell you I have never bothered to look at what the other Mums are wearing, I honestly have no idea!
Bikini here, in fact hubby bought me a new one yesterday I have matching board shorts too just so if I can't be bothered shaving my bikini area it's easily hidden.
I wear a one piece that my cousin made for me. She has her own boutique surewhat swimwear range cos she's ridiculously talented (shakes fist). Halter neck and has boy leg cut, & I love it.
Honestly I can't even remember what other mums in swimming lesson wear, I often wear a Rashie even though indoors because my two both have habit of pulling at swim suit. The Rashie also gives them something to grip onto instead of my skin! Underneath I wear swimsuit, tankini basically whatever I grab first. But overall my main criteria is that I can't easily be exposed by my grabby children.
