Addendum to BATHING SUIT HELL - My War with the Madonna suit

Addendum to BATHING SUIT HELL

Okay, so I ended up buying a 'tankini' (already I'm in a bad mood.  TANK?  Really?  I haven't gained THAT much.)

It has a 'shelf' top, size C/D.  Sort of fits, but here's the thing.  I am not a 'shelf.'  I cannot be 'moved' into a shelf.  I am two soft torpedoes with a sizable gap inbetween.

Which works okay, until you go into the pool, and that gap between the torpedoes fills with water.  And the whole top flops down to your navel with the weight.

WHO DESIGNS THESE THINGS??

  1. Very funny. It could be worse, a friend did a really energetic flip-dive into the lake and lost the bottom of her two-piece. She was mortified to climb out with her bare bum and other bits twinkling in the sun for all to admire.

    1. Yikes! Mary, I would still be in that lake, waiting for night to fall. :)

  2. Ah the challenge of getting the right bathing suit design. Just when you find one that works your body changes shape. I like tankinis because they are easy when I need to go to the bathroom. No struggling into total nakedness with a one piece. Good luck finding a good fit. Shop early. Bathing suits are either on sale or not there.

    1. Now *that* is an excellent reason to go the tankini route!
