Swimsuits

Does anyone have experience of swimming with a stoma ? Do you just wear normal swimsuit ?

I have a fairly long body so find a separate top and bottom more comfortable. It's easier to go to the loo as well!

Moving on fomr this slightly, can anyone recommend a good firm tummy control swimsuit? I can cope with a steel plate if that's what it takes!

Bully for you, oliviablond but I have a feeling that your post will be deleted as spam.

I also have a feeling that your youth is not as far behind you as most of ours.

Thank you all I see JL have Zoggs so I might go for one of those.

Luckygirl are the Triumph Doreen swimsuits true to size, and is it underwired.
I never knew that Triumph Doreen did a swimsuit.

I can remember having a knitted cossie, one with shoulder straps. Not a good look when dry, let alone when wet.

When I was a child my mum and her friend took me and friend's son to Skegness in a caravan. This would have been either during the war or just after. M's friend knitted us both bathing costumes, they were awful, even Hayden's had the built up shoulders. The first time we came out of the freezing sea the costumes were down round our knees they had stretched and dropped so much. Everyone around apparently laughed to our shame. Thank you for the memory,very precious all three have died now.

Thought you ladies would be able to knit one !
Some while ago one of you offered to knit me a mankini, so a bikini should be a doddle.

I have one of these www.amazon.co.uk/TRIUMPH-DOREEN-O-SWIMMING-COSTUME/dp/B00FYXIQBI It is very comfortable indeed.

I buy all mine, about 3 at a time, from Asda, use them for a year, or until they look past it and then chuck away. £12. Cheap as chips and a good fit too. I take a size below my normal dress size and take out the stuffing/chicken fillets from the boob bit which I can't stand. Worth a try.
