    A speedo racing suit, I used be a lifeguard, and in the pool would usually swim a mile or so.

    The speedo suits are the most comfy I've found recently, I used love arena, but can't seem to find them in the shops.

    Bikini on beach and swimsuit in the swimming pool. Not that I ever actually go to the beach. And the swimsuit is like e5 from Penneys but it looks nice so I don't care

    Yeah, I'd do the same as you Quality. Bikinis are for tanning; they'd more than likely come off with proper swimming in the gym!

    I'd be the same, bikini for beach, swimsuit for pool or else good bikini bottoms and a tankini for aqua aerobics.

    If I'm in the gym I'm there for swimming and need something that won't fall off me so full swimsuit.

    At the beach and on hols I'd like a bit of colour, so strip off and bare my pale Irish skin in a bikini :)

    I think bikinis are not really swimwear at all. If you want to swim - get a swimsuit.

    I'd just wear a bikini myself! Even though I probably shouldn't be wearing one, for everyone else's sake!
    :pac:

    I'd just feel like a block in a one piece ... I have one of those tankini things that I wear sometimes, the halterneck top and shorts thing!

    I never go to the gym but I'd say if I did, I'd stick on a swimsuit 'cause I'd actually be swimming, not just lounging around and I wouldn't want my bikini to fall off! :pac:

    On holidays, I always wear a bikini though!

    I used to be in Jackie Skellys 2 years ago and you could see down to the pool when you were on the treadmill; so anyway one day I went to hop on one and they were all in use (by guys) - which was a tad unusual. When I eventually got on one I realised why...there were two blonde chicks in the pool in freaking g strings and bikini tops!

    Now, bikinis are fair enough, but why the hell would you wear a g string in an inside pool?! They were hardly going to get a tan!!:rolleyes::pac:

    I use a bickini as my chest is a lot bigger that my rear.

    If you wear a bikini in the pool, don't use the diving board! I did once :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭metaoblivia


    If I'm working out or going to a water park/doing something very physical, then I wear a one piece (going on some water park rides can be very risky in a bikini!). But if I'm just going to lay out at the beach or the pool or the pond, I wear a bikini.

    A womens one-piece bathing suit flatters everyone to keep you looking great. It is possible for plus sized women to find ones which make them look and feel fabulous, as plus size women can be as sexy and feminine as any other woman. You can now find the one piece swimsuits that are perfect for you, rather than having to make do and you'll be happy to see the burst of colors that are currently in fashion.

    I have never found a one piece that fits someone with a fairly large bust (E cup and above) but small elsewere (size 8).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭tatabubbly


    Totally one piece in the swimming pool, got a class colour speedo one for £5 in a sale..

    But i wear tankinis outside the pool due to larger bust, i always feel like everything is hanging out if i wear a bikini.. Plus i can never find nice bikini to suit my size!
