Need help from other moms...bathing suit related...

So this is actually for me.

Summer is obviously fast approaching. I started weight watchers this week.

But I am not sure what to do about a bathing suit. We have a brand new semi inground pool this summer. And I know I'll be spending lots of time in it. But I am so self concisous about the way I look. The "pouch" is disgusting. And I know it will get better with time.

But, anyone have any style of bathing suit they find to be more complimenting than others? I am willing to spend $$ if that's what it will take!

I know that J. Crew made a tankini with a swing top last year. It was so flattering to hide a pooch. You can pair it with a lot of different bottoms. I'll see if they still have it...

Lands End has a bunch of different types of suits for different body styles...I don't know if the new ones are out yet though.

Check out the Miraclesuit at Nordstrom
I think anything with ruching or a faux wrap around the midsection would be flattering!
I also like this large colorful print, I think it's really flattering and distracts from the area...

I always find great ones at Lord & Taylor, you can usually always find a printable 20% coupon online. I haven't checked it out yet for this season, but I found some really pretty ones there last year, the tankini ones Chat Icon

I got two Nautica tankinis at Macys last year & love them. We have a town pool & I actually was able to go out in public with them 6 months after having DDChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

They held up so well that I think I'll get a few wears out of them this year.

I think Spanx should make bathing suitsChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I love this one! I wish it had straps on it though since my boobs would be down to my waist Chat Icon
