I need a new bathing suit. I have my eye on a couple from Athleta. Also looking at Summersalt.

I appreciate their using real women as models, but I’m so used to seeing non real women (painfully bony teens) modeling bathing suits that it’s really hard for me to visualize how they’ll fit.

I asked my hubs what he thinks of hi-rise bikini bottoms, and his opinion is that they do us a disservice, which I wish I didn’t agree with.

Also if my bathing suit bottoms don’t have ties at the waist, I will get pantsed by the ocean immediately. So many details no one asked for right here in this thread.
