Q. So I'm finally on summer break. Yesterday, I was invited by a friend to her 16th birthday party next week. I planned on going but I'm in need of a new swimsuit and I'm going shopping this weekend.
I'm not entirely sure which type to choose though. I am a bigger girl, although I'm not huge. I am on the plus side though when it comes to shopping for clothes.
I have worn one pieces my whole life but I am growing tired of them. They are hard to get off when they're wet and sometimes hard to get on. I've never been able to find a one piece that exactly flatters my figure nor support my breasts. If anything, it flattens out my breasts.
I am considering buying a tankini this year because it seems to flatter the figure of a larger woman more but still with the coverage of a one piece. But I'm not sure how much better a tankini would be compared to just a one piece.
If I do get a tankini, I'm also curious and what type of bottoms I should get because I'm self conscious about my thighs. I've seen some that are like shorts, but not many.
If you wear either, why do you prefer that one rather than others? Can you give me some cons and pros of both? This will really help me decide what to get when I get to shopping for a swimsuit.

Look, I'm not going to give you a list of what swimwear suits your figure or what doesn't. However, I will tell you that I've been in your shoes. I hate my thighs, my body, my stomach. I've questioned myself and even my former bf on swimsuits that I felt were too pretty & flashy for my size. After comparing myself to girls in magazines & absorbing my bf's criticism I learned this..
Soceity has a fucked up view on "beauty". Honestly, the world could tell you that a one piece is better but at the end of the day if you want a Tankini, then you better get a Tankini and where that Tankini like a diva! I have seen women of all sizes wearing swimsuits of all sizes at the pool / beach. I've seen plus sized women in bikini's and skinny girls in one-pieces. It doesn't matter. I don't think they'd make something in your size if it wasn't meant for you to wear. How about you try on a few swimsuits, pick a cute one that you like & buy it. You said it yourself, you're growing tired of the "usual" so switch it up. You're young, I wish I had more confidence when I was your age. At 17 I remember wearing jeans to the beach.
Whatever you choose to wear, you'll be fine. But don't ever feel insecure! rock your swimwear girl. Good luck!
