Do you wear a one piece or bikini? Unfortuntly with my body type I cannot wear a bikini. And I have a scar from surgery I'd rather not show it off-LOL How about you?

I have had four kids and they have left their marks on my body unfortunately. I have lots of stretch marks all over and my tummy is in such a sorry state that I could not possibly consider wearing a bikini. I struggle to even wear a one piece I am that self conscious, but I tell you what is good at fading stretch marks and also I have been told works on scars, and that is a thing called bio oil.

Thank you for the info. I dont think Ive heard of it. I'll see if I can find it. I dont like the looks of my tummy anyway-I'd still get a one piece.

Just use a small amount, and massage it in to the worst areas, you have to stick with it you will not see a result straight away you have to use it every day. Over time it will fade your stretch marks, you can also use it on your face too.

Heck I had my kids 14 years ago and I never liked my stomach since. Ive heard sit ups is good but it takes so long to get results I gave up. I figure people like me for me not my stomach Some folks lose it some dont. Hugs. Someone suggested Bio oil for stretch marks. I'm not sure where to find it though.

I wear both. I like to wear a bikini if we do not have company here at the house. We have our own swimming pool. I wear a whole piece if we have company and I also wear a t-shirt over it. I don't like the way my body looks sine I have gained a little git of weight over the years.

I too where a a t-shirt. It helps from getting too sun burnt, and hides the belly. As I have really fair skin.

I don't really like the way I look in a bathing suit, so I don't wear a bikini, but I do wear a two-piece. It is a two-piece suit that looks like a one piece. The top part is like a little tank top, so it covers all of my stomach. You can't really tell that it's two pieces, but I really like it cause I think it is more convenient than wearing a one piece. That way when I need to go to the bathroom, I don't have to take off my whole swim suit! lol

I never looked at a two piece that way. Your right going potty would be easier. And it still covers the tummy area. Nice.

I prefer maillots over sexy bikinis.maillots are one-piece bathing ones with strategic cuts.it will depend on what body part you want to show off and to conceal.I love maillots since it is sexy and functional at the same time.I am not comfortable with bikinis.
