Excellent advice Samantha and I agree about the skirted one piece suits. In my area, the skirted bikini bottoms are pretty popular with the soccer mom crowd, a crowd I try to blend into.

Age 30-45, in shape. They want to show off up top and the fact they have abs of steel. They have great legs. The one area they feel uncomfortable with is the little bit of sag in the tushy, which the skirt hides. Just my $.02 .

Yes, if you're 30-45 then a two piece skirt suit makes a lot of since.

Another thing I should mention about bathing suits. If you're a little bit out of shape (or a lot out of shape), because you have male fat distributions, at least to some degree, a shorts suit can help a lot.

Consider, a skirt suit can't really be paired with a loose fitting bathing top. You can get shorts suits that have loose fitting tops as part of the outfit and that's good for hiding your "interesting" spare tire to junk in the trunk ratio.

I'm kinda lucky in the bum department, nice firm, round, butt. It's just a good bit bigger than I'd like. (Yeah, I know, shut up!) Anyway, the rest of me is a bit to big too... I got a really nice Speedo one peace with built in stealth features... Compression panels in the front to mimimize my... Middle? Radar jamming to keep me off the Japansese fleet's radar, and a band of color from the bottom of my bust up that basically says "LOOK AT THESE" which I swore I'd never do, but I look good in it... I just at times want to put a sign on my chest that says "Hi, I'm up here" with an arrow that points to my face...

Works out really well. So much so that the first time I wore it to the beach I had a surfer trying to convince my breasts they wanted to learn to surf, and then get some dinner... He was like 20... Amazed when he found out I was older than his mother... I said so unless you have a thing about dating someone's Mom, I'll pass...

"Well, you know there's something to said for MILF!"

I didn't know if I wanted to kiss him, or punch him in the mouth... SO bizarre!

If you have smaller breasts you can get a push-up bikini top. And for a bottom you can get a size too small bikini bottom. You may even wanna try 2 sizes too small. Side-tying string bikinis work well because you can get it very snug.

Also consider the print and color of the suit. Stripes will take the eye away from any axtra flesh in the bikini area. Horizontal stripes.

In case someone hasn't figured it out yet: that advice works very well for normal underwear too. If you wear two pairs of underwear at a time (one on top of the other) they will last much longer.

Wheee! Off topic! Just thought I should mention that, feel free to ignore me.

Why in the name of all that's holy would you want to wear TWO pair of underwear? That doesn't make a cup of sense to me. Then again, I'm usually two dimes short of a nickle anyway...

If you wear two pairs of underwear it stretches less. The inside pair of underwear holds the stuff back while the outside pair takes some of the stress off of the inside underwear.

Hey, it works for me! I used to go though way more underwear than I do now.
