Girls: which do you prefer, Bikinis, Tankinis, or

[Lil' Nik]

one piece swimsuits? I am not asking guys which they would prefer to see girls in I am asking which the girls would rather wear.

Being a slightly larger than average girl, I prefer one-pieces or tankinis that cover the whole stomach area.

I perfer to wear Tankinis because they don't show too much and it doesn't ride up, like a 1 piece.

It depends on what you look like. If you are pleasantly plump, you should stick with one piece swimsuits. They could still look on you and still cover up what you don't want seen. Bikinis on good on girls who actually look good in them... if you are in shape and your body is well-built. Tankinis are nice if you are a little shy with yourself but you still have the confidence to expose your belly. I personally prefer bikinis and one-piece swimsuits... just because I like them better.

I am a typical "pear" shape, carrying my extra skin & weight in oversized hips & thighs. I prefer to wear bikini tops because my upper body and abs look just fine, but I wear them with shorty board shorts. The shorts sit nicely on my big hips, just below my "fashionable" T-shaped belly button (my husband told me this). The shorts hide the extra little rolls on my hips, and the flab on my thighs. This works well, because I am maintaining an 80 pound weight loss, and I feel great about it and want to flaunt my "new" body while hiding the bits that will never be toned again without surgery. I'm okay with giving up a little bit in the sun department and having nothing to be self-conscious about. On the other hand, function matters a lot - if I'm swimming for exercise it has to be a one-piece. If I'm going on a boat or scuba diving, I like two-pieces so that I don't have to 100% undress just to use the head (bathroom on a boat). If I am JUST laying in the sun for the exposure, I wear the smallest bikini I can.

[ummm...]

One piece.

One piece, you got to leave something to the imagination.

I prefer bikinis. Tankinis make me feel like a little girl. An a one piece makes me feel older than I am.
