Where do you buy yours? And are you a one piece or two piece kind of girl?

I'm on the hunt for one. I hate, hate, hate one pieces on me. They're so unflattering and offer no support up top. I haven't worn a two piece since before I had babies but I'm seriously considering it this summer.
 
i have this from speedo and love it.
my problem area is definitely my belly, so i chose one with some hold in. i would never ever ever in history go for a two piece. EVER.

if you need more support i imagine this one will be a better fit :)

I only buy from Lands End. One piece. I wear an 8/10, but I wear a D cup bra, so they are the only place I've found that offer this combination AND it actually holds me in/up/whatever. I love them.
 
I was always a very modest two piece girl (as in a top that covers most of me) and full coverage/boy short bottoms. Then year before last my little sister (15) outgrew her one piece and she gave it to me and I loved it. I can't wait until I can wear it again, but it probably won't be until sometime summer 2013.

I'm actually on the hunt now for a good one piece or very modest two piece nursing swimsuit.
 
I look so bad in a swim suit, I just ignore buying one... last year I didn't even wear shorts. Capris were it for me last year...
 
I bought one like this over a year ago and LOVE the fit and feel of it. I still feel kind of hip, it gives great support and is double lined, which I love! No longer have the exact one I bought, but this is similar. Athleta is a GREAT athletics company with really nice things, but costly. I will spend money on a good suit though because I need to feel comfortable!

I am looking into this one too for this year though, but I would need little straps at least for it!

I usually buy a tankini and short skirted bottoms from Lands End...they last forever!
 
just the thought of bathing suit shopping makes me want to vomit.

Last year I bought swim shorts and bikini tops from old navy to show off my abs since I was doing the Jilian 6 week 6 pack religiously. This year I am probably going to wear the same.
 
oh and I always wear a two piece but I wear shorts an a skirt cause I think that's cute and a lost less embarrassing. No one wants to see my thighs!
 
my thighs aint the problem its my belly,here in england there isnt really much need for one but if i do go swimming then its a one peace,but abroad i will wear a 2 peace bikini but thats in the water or on a sun bed the minute i get up i put a top on to cover up
 
I have both one and two-piece bathing suits depending on where we're going. If we're out at the lake with friends and such, then I'll wear a two-piece. If I'm with my family then I'll be in a one-piece.
 
I have a two piece but it is a tankini/shorts type from Target. No extra flesh showing. No one wants to see that. :giggle. But I also had to end up getting a one piece because when DD and I were doing water aerobics, and the tankini top would come up at the worst times. :blush AND DD got the same suit as me, so they joke about us being twins. We're so lame.

But I don't ever go anywhere else that I would need a bathing suit. We're not water people. :p I keep trying to get DH to buy me a swim spa so I don't ever have to wear a bathing suit in public, but he's vehemently opposed. It is a long-running joke now.
 
The last one I got was a two piece set from a web site - I think it was Swim Suits for All. I always get a top and a pair of shorts, although I really don't like wearing a bathing suit - didn't like to in my skinny years either! LOL!
 
Well, I'm a 2-piece sort of girl, but I have to wear a 1-piece these days because I don't want to make anyone puke, lol. I used to wear bikinis or tankinis, but I just have a gross belly right now. When I get rid of that (hopefully soon), I will be back to the cute stuff. I really just don't like 1-pieces because they are annoying when you spend a long day at the pool and need to use the bathroom.
 
i had a GREAT halter tankini with a skirt bottom that i got at meijer of all places, and somehow or another i LOST the top grrrrr!!! so i'm on the hunt for a new suit this year.
 
I'm going to the Dominican Repulic in two months and need a bathing suit by then. I'm getting closer to the point where I could wear a two piece and that is my goal, but I'm not sure I'll make it by May. Eep! Of course I just learned that they have topless beaches there. Yikes! Maybe people will look at the topless gals (I wont' be one of them) and then I won't worry so much about my flab! LOL!
