Confession: I’ve never worn a bikini in my life. It’s not really for any particular reason, or at least not the traditional one. It was always less about body self confidence (although, once upon a time, I lacked plenty of that) but more about comfort. I was never comfortable in a bikini.
Post-children, my body has certainly changed and I feel more confident now than when I was younger. I still am sticking primarily with one-piece bathing suits or tankinis. When you are splashing around with kids in the pool, there are certain bathing suits that you want to wear. Namely, ones that make it difficult for you to flash the world.
I now have a few different suits. Some are for public pools when swimming with the kids, and others are for our beach trips (read: more revealing). They still aren’t bikinis (although, I am considering picking up a bikini top to go with one of my tankini bottoms for the summer) but I like the look of all of them. And most importantly, I feel comfortable in them.
Below, I’ve sourced three one-piece bathing suits that I am loving the look of and if I was in the market for another I would be buying one of them (I don’t need to add to the four I already have, right?).
One-Piece Bathing Suits
I love the cut on this one. The dual-colours make it stand out, and the low cut is hot. Click on the link to see the back too.
This one is basic but classic. I like the higher cut on the top, making swimming with the kids easier, but by throwing a wrap around my waist it would almost make it look like I was going to a fancy pool party.
Ahhh I wish I hadn’t found this one. It has a belt! And a skirt! And it’s so adorable. This suit is available in tomato (shown below) or a turquoise.

What’s your favourite bathing suit to wear?
NONE! I currently have a tankini top and a short skirt bottom. I feel comfortable and like everything is covered. There are just some things people don’t want to see!
My tankini and skirt bottom is one of my go-tos. I love it. It’s cute, but covers stuff. That’s basically my number one priority 😉
Love the last one. I currently only have tankinis, took forever to find ones that I like. Finally found some at swimsuitsforall. That last one you almost can’t tell that it’s a one piece! Still stylish while covering up too.
