Question

I am going to the beach on the weekend and I haven’t lost any weight since I having my baby so I am quite large.

What should I wear in the water? My thighs are covered in cellulite and I am a size 18.

Answer

Stripping down to your swimmers can often be a daunting thing especially at the start of the summer season. Luckily there are lots of options to help us feel more comfortable and covered up.

Find a swimwear style that is designed for larger sizes, these are function-built with bust support and tummy control panels. A one-piece or a tankini will offer the most coverage. Brands to look out for include: Palazzi, Ada, Miraclesuit, Jets.

To help cover your thighs try wearing a boardshort, most surf stores and department stores will carry a range of women’s board shorts.
