Expert Answer

Choose a swimsuit that goes really well with your body type. For some people, that might be a swimsuit with elastics, which provides some extra comfort around the waist. For other people, it might be a swimsuit with a drawstring.

Question

Should the bathing suit still be washed if I chose to wear it in the bathtub?

Community Answer

Yes, if you do not wash your bathing suit you will probably still have a swimsuit full of germs and bacteria.

Question

Should underwear be accepted for swimming in a public pool?

Community Answer

No, it should not. Not only will you end up with soggy underwear, but it will look embarrassing too. Maybe for 5 year olds and under but not above.

Question

I'm not always comfortable baring my torso. What kind of top/swimsuit is recommended?

Community Answer

You could wear something like a rashguard, or a swim shirt. Even a regular shirt will probably be fine, as long as it can stand up to the water.

Question

Why are women's suits prettier than men's? I am a boy, can I wear a girl's one piece bathing suit?

Community Answer

You could wear it if you want, but don't be surprised if you're judged for it--people might not understand or like that. Don't listen to them though. People can't make you wear what you don't want to wear. Just wear what you want to and feel the most comfortable wearing.

Question

I'm big and tall and should buy board shorts. I still need support down there. Should I look for a liner or buy swim briefs and wear those with the board shorts?

Community Answer

Buy swimsuit liner that matches your size, as swimsuit liner is cheaper than swim briefs and board shorts.
