Question

Can a swimsuit be worn underneath a person's clothes?

Community Answer

Yes, but bathing suits are not breathable like underwear, so should not be worn under clothes for long periods of time or you risk developing skin rashes or yeast infections.

Question

What do I do if there is no changing area and my suit is a one piece?

Community Answer

Bathroom stalls tend to be the best bet, even though it is a smaller area and there may be the hazard of toilet water. If there is any empty room with a door available, use that. If you're outside, you can go behind some trees, or even have some friends form a wall to shield you.

Question

What should I do if someone sees me?

Community Answer

It depends who sees you. In most societies, it is considered acceptable for women and girls to change clothes in a common area. There is also "locker room courtesy" which means giving space as available, giving other people privacy as possible and personal comfort level, and so on. Typically other people are not interested in how you look naked. Other tactics are needed if you are in an area of mixed genders.

How do I avoid getting nervous and accidentally dropping my towel?

Community Answer

If possible, get a friend to hold a towel for you, or maybe find a more discreet area to get changed.
