I too saw those swimsuits and thought they would be perfect. Now I fit into a women's size 8 (which I think is really a 10) but I could not find any that would fit me. Everything was small. So I ended up with one of those typical one piece somewhat boring swimsuits. blahcatsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-38344014889014146172012-06-12T10:17:02.150-04:002012-06-12T10:17:02.150-04:00Ugh, I'm fairly small and thin, but let me tel...Ugh, I'm fairly small and thin, but let me tell ya, NO ONE needs to see how gravity has affected these near-fifty-year old thighs.

She looked pretty good for any age, but still I didn't really want to see all that much flesh.<br /><br />I bought my suit from Land's End, and it has shorts and a top that's sort of like what you'd see at the gym. It's really comfortable and I don't feel overexposed in it. That's good because I am often chasing after a toddler or have one hanging on me in the pool. Most suits are not great when it comes to staying in place for all of that. <br /><br />Here's the suit in red.<br />http://bit.ly/LyH8R2Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267793335415078380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-32826938790248722282012-06-12T08:22:15.704-04:002012-06-12T08:22:15.704-04:00OMGoodness, Carolyn!

Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning. :)<br /><br />BTW, I haven't purchased or worn a bathing suit in too long to remember. They definitely do not design them for women over the age of 30. LOL!<br /><br />PS I'm so glad you purchased a nice new pair of needle-nose pliers...no chance of lock-jaw using them. :)C.H.

Truly, I saw a woman at a swimming pool one time who wore a several x-sized bathing suit where it had cut-outs all down the side...so the flesh had a place to exit. She didn't mind!
