Hey girls! I’m a plus sized trans woman in my mid 20’s. I’ve always enjoyed swimming, but I havent done it since i began my transition over a year ago. Id really like to start swimming again this year, and id especially love to do so in an outfit that makes me feel good about myself.
The biggest concern that has stopped me is that i really dont want to have a visible bulge. Ive had some success with gaffs, but also a bit of an… incident involving short shorts. Bathing suits are obviously a bit trickier. I would welcome any reccomendations about brands, styles or techniques that would help me feel confident and feminine at the pool!
I have some bikini shorts combos I like. I wear them over bikini bottoms and tuck tape. Plus a sheer coverup I’m generally very comfortable and confident. Gives me options depending on setting, like if I’m just lounging/tanning I can take the shorts off, or walking a public beach I might toss the shorts and cover up on. Some of my favorites are from Prana, but they can be a tad pricey.
