I need your help.  I am going bathing suit shopping Friday for the first time in years.  I am really excited but also a bit anxious.  I am still very modest and need to be because of all the loose skin.  My question is are there any particular suits that you know of that will help with sagging skin especially around tummy and butt?  I know I will probably still need to do the skirt-type because of the tops of my thighs and I feel more comfortable in those anyways.  You may wonder why I'm going so early...We are going on vacation during Easter and the resort has an indoor water park that I will have to take my children to.  Thanks for your input.

Hey there! Sounds like you are going to have a great vacation. I am a skirt kinda girl myself and a tummy panel is always good. For me, my main requirement is good support for the girls. They have not adapted very well and I really have to have a good structured top to keep them up and in place. Happy shopping and I hope to see you at the next OH meeting. Take care.

I wanna go!  Please...Please....Please...

I just know you will have a great time with your children.

I just saw online that spanx now has a line of swimwear, you may want to check it out.  I wear a lot of the firmer control spanx (not the styles in stores) and they are really good about supporting the areas you indicated.

Have a GREAT time.

Oh the stress of bathing suit shopping....

I found that Lands End suits fit me much better than anything I could find in stores.  They have a great selection of mix and match tops/bottoms.  Like any good bathing suit, they are a little pricey but the last forever and to me are worth the extra bucks.

Good luck my friend and have fun!

Thanks for the info regarding Lands End... I'm gonna look to see if they have something that starts with a turtle neck, has long sleeves, and goes to my ankles... that's the only thing i would wear out to a public beach/pool!!!
