How comfortable are YOU in a swimsuit?

So, I decided to post this because me and my bf are going on vacation to hawaii in october and i'm OBVIOUSLY going to be wearing a bikini most of the time.

Now, I don't have the perfect body and I know it, but I don't think I look horrid in a two piece, either. I've been saying to myself that I'm goin to firm up my stomach just a little before we go, but ha ha that will never happen because I am a lazy stoner. I know there are going to be some beautiful women in hawaii wearing like, string bikinis and looking completely hot. Thats when I guess I feel the letdown that *I* don't look as good in my two piece.

What do you do? Does anyone else feel a little self-conscious in their bathing suits?

 

Nope, not at all. But then again I hate swimming so this isn't an issue.

 

I feel self conscious in shorts...of any length. If they're long enough as to where I don't feel whorish/flabby thighed, then I feel like a dork for wearing long shorts. So pretty much any bathing suit in which my thighs are exposed makes me feel self-conscious. My belly...well, I could use some firming up to that as well. So I don't like bathing suits. At all, really.

 

I think as long as you are comfy with your own body you will be ok!!! I mean really, have you even noticed people who are not comfy with thier bodies tend to show it. Just be confident about yourself and you will shine like a star!!! And have fun, it's a great place!!!!

(BTW - where in the Dakota's do you live? I grew up in ND)

 

I feel 0% confortable... and while large mamas like to swim and tan just as much as thin women, I'd rather be white and dry.

 

I feel pretty comfortable in a bikini, the skimpier the better. Hahe


Edit: Actually, not really. I hate my thighs.

 

Depends a lot on the fit. Tops have never been a problem but it's always been a struggle finding bikini bottoms that fit me properly. I found the perfect solution though--a bikini skort. It's almost like wearing a little sarong but I can swim and do anything comfortably in it, and I don't have to worry about pubic hair popping out. It's very flattering too so right now, yes I feel comfortable in a swimsuit because mine actually fits.

 

LOL. That is one of the cutest things I have read in a while. Wear the suit!

 

I'm comfy in a bathing suit. the problem with me is filling them out...

 

im pretty comfy in a bathing suit... i wish i could, as headymoe said, fill them out a little more... and i wish my stomach was a TINGE, um smaller... but i dont stress over it....

 

yea i mean im a skinny girl but im not THAT skinny and i know i dont look bad in abthing suit but im soooo self conscious in anything that shows my body, exept apron tops... haha but i hate wearing a bathing suit in front of people or short too idk why though!!

 

I think most people are so insecure about how they look in a bathingsuit, they're not paying attention to the way other people look.

 

I just had a baby so this summer I had to wear a tankini (sp) I hate it I still love my body just not the stretch marks, if anyone has any advice (other than vitamin e I'm already doing that.) I'd really appreciate it!

 

how comfortable am I in a bathing suit? Not comfortable at all....I always have to fight the urge to put on clothes to cover my body up (I usually let myself wear either shorts or a shirt on top of it- but never both)

 

I'm usually pretty comfortable.. Depends on the type of suit and the mood I'm in that day.. Plus, I'm not a swimmer so it really makes no difference (aside from tanning)..

 

nope, not even close to comfortable. Fuck, I can hear people muttering about my size in the mall when I'm wearing flattering clothes some days. I don't swim though, nor do I go out tanning so it's not like I'm gonna be missing out on anything because I don't like swimsuits.

 

I am quite comfortable in a bikini. Even though I have stretch marks (two kids) and a slightly flabby tummy-oh, it's shockingly white, too. I don't care. If other people have a problem with it, then oh well. I don't mind the way I look and I love to swim and hang out on the beach.

 

Can you get Decleor over there? They do a product called Prolagene that fades scars including stretch marks. (Happy to give more info if required).

As for the bikini - I'm ok in mine as long as I am lying down! My stomsch is still a bit flabby from the last baby too. But the yoga *should* be helping me.

 

I wear shorts now when I'm walking around in a bathing suit, because of pubic hair. When I actually go swimming I take them off and run to the water!! I wish I had bigger breasts so I could fill my bathing suit out a little too. My weight changes from week to week, so sometimes I have normal-sized, and sometimes on the tiny side :/ oh well... the other thing is I never wear a bra, so my breasts appear way smaller than most girls my age... yet when I do wear one they look bigger than a lot of girls my age or about average. I WON'T GIVE IN! I WILL NOT WEAR A BRA!

 

There are? Where were they when I was there like a month ago?
