Swimsuit fit ?

[CallingAllAngels]

After swimming in my Land's End tankini all last year, I ordered a grab bag suit from swimoutlet.com. It came today. I am mostly happy with it, but it's a little short (I have a long torso). Will it stretch a little? Also, why does it have to make my boobs pancake flat?

is it poly or lycra?

poly won't stretch as much, if at all... lycra will stretch a bit.

It's Lycra. Thanks!

Why would you want your boobs to get in the way of your swimming? Think of it Iike a sports bra. It's supposed to hold the girls in.

This is way worse than any sports bra. My boobs totally disappear! Which is totally fine bc I will probably only use it at the gym at work, and they don't need to see my boobs anyway.

Yeah I have full C-cup boobs and I look entirely flat in a good fitness swimsuit. It's so unflattering but it does the job!

I have the same complaints of one piece athletic swimsuits. I wear a TYR two piece. I'm no superstar swimmer, so the other kids may be laughing at me, but I don't care. With my long torso, one piece suit = permawedgie.

I love my 2 piece but my stomach is still too chubby to really wear it. Soon, maybe.

I guess I'm so used to it I don't notice anymore. If there were cups/pads they'd get saturated and gross, not to mention really un-hydrodynamic and in the way. It's just the way it is. Most running shorts aren't that flattering either, you know? And god knows tri suits aren't. But it works.

I'd say as long as it's not SUPER uncomfortable, you're good to go.

You want it tight in the boobs so there's no slippage
