I have two single piece costumes and six bikini sets , well you can't be seen wearing the same costume twice now can you. As for where to wear it ? . If you have the nerve , anywhere. I don't have the nerve . But I did rent a cottage near lemmington spa once that had it's own private swimming pool , that was the first time I wore a bikini. Now as I live on the coast I am just as happy to go night swimming at one of the many local hidden beaches.

I would imagine (doesn't take much imagination!) if you wear a swimsuit, one-piece or bikini set, its difficult to hide your attributes! How do you go on Melinda?

I just tuck, Anna doesn't really hide much , but most of the time I am alone on the beach anyway. And with a healthy set of moobs and a skimpy bikini top it usually draws attention elsewhere. ;)

oh yes the art of tucking and for me it helps to be fairly small down there!

I don't have any problem with the lower fitting. The costime fits perfectly in that area and is quite protective. No tucking required

I have just recently gotten a tankini from avenue. It has a swim skirt so a tuck is good enough. I haven't worn it in public, but i could. The only problem is that it's fairly low cut and I would have trouble hiding the fake girls. I've snuck out into the yard for a bit of time to work on my tan, but just cannot get enough time out safely since I have a retired neighbor always home.

I only wear the one piece, I don't look good enough to wear a 2 piece. Although I have seen some 2 piece suits I like that have a top which covers most of the belly, and I would get one if the bottom has a skirt. I prefer the ones with skirts, since it helps cover everything. I have several of them and wear them pretty much anywhere, don't worry about trying to not be seen. I figure that even if everyone knows that I'm a guy wearing a ladies swim suit, at least it looks better than if I were wearing a speedo with a beer belly rotf

Hello all :)
I was about to start a topic on pools/the beach and swimming costumes but searching brought me to here .. great minds think alike!

I have worn bikini bottoms around a private pool. That was lovely. I definitely couldn't wear a woman's costume in public, but I'd love to have the nerve.

Has anyone ever goneto the beach in a bikini? Is it possible? Maybe easier without forms for a naturally small frame? One would need to be sure to be immacuately shaved and buffed in all the right places. :)

An all in one swimsuit would be easier but still galling to think about it!

I would love that bikini tan line though.

We need to set a fashion and make it so all can wear 1 piece swimsuits. They are comfortable!

I've run through several through the years, including the classic yellow polka-dot bikini. I currently use 2 one pieces mostly. One is a Catalina turquoise blue 1950's fitted that once belonged to my mother and the other is a 1980's Jantzen swirl print faux wrap lycra/spandex that I inherited from my sister. Both have some boning and bodice support, the older one has a zip and hook back. I've done a little adjustment on both, they fit well and look flattering, the cuts are classics. I've worn them to beaches and pool parties where I wouldn't have any difficulties and have gotten some compliments.

I don't wear bikinis in public, I can always find other ways to embarrass myself ..^..

Without being big-headed I am sure I would get compliments if I did & people would like my idea
