I wear a one-piece which has some support Triumph make such a costume. However I allways wear a gaff underneath to give a flat abdominal profile.

I've pulled off a bikini before... but it was in a club dress with open sides at a foam party lol. I've never actually gone swimming in a girls suit, and it might be a bit since I'm still stealth/closeted as of the moment. However, I definitely like cute one-piece suits too!

With late-Spring/Summer approaching, I've been thinking about swimsuits, and I want to try something new this year. Because I'm male-bodied, and my legs were (until recently) very hairy, I was pretty much stuck with board-short style trunks. Now that I've been working on de-hairing my body, I really want to try a one-piece with shorts that end around mid-thigh. I can't really wear a bikini, as it wouldn't quite look right (no boobs, you see).

So, what do you wear when you go swimming? One-piece? Bikini? Board-shorts? What?

Floral print one piece, it's just so cool feeling the water rush by, as you dive in....

I can't WAIT to go bikini shopping now that I'm post op! Finally, I can go swimming and not need to spend 20 minutes prepping and half a $15 roll of industrial weatherproof duct tape. And should I need to use the restroom while I'm there, I don't have to pack up and go home to do it.

I want to get a brand new quality bikini for my first tape-free excursion!

Swimsuits..

I haven't gone to the beach or pool in a while honestly, several years in fact.

I always wore one pieces, and I plan on wearing them in the future. I don't like bikinis; Too feminine and they show off my body.

Male bathers is the only time that I go out without my bra on, I still have not the courage to purchase a ladies bathers, and would probable have difficulty in getting ones to fit.

I typically swim in a loose t-shirt and shorts, though when I'm forced to wear female bathing suits I'll wear a one-piece, since those don't draw quite as much attention to my chest as two-pieces do.

Well my current "boy suit" is a square legged speedo. I used to wear a regular old speedo when I swam in high school and board shorts when I was a lifeguard. As I move towards transitioning, I am thinking about buying a short sleeved rash guard. This will allow a presentation of either gender and will help protect my skin while out in the sun.

HI there my name is Dani,, I am mtf. I would like to go swimming someday and need some advice on smoothing out the crotch area to a near perfect feminine crotch ... any suggestion and I seen some of the early posts one says try a triathalon swimsuit and I have severy bikinis and one piece tried everything from gaffs and skirted but I want to go with whats in style .. Thanks I will waiting for a response

I would rather wear a swimsuit that is more like a t-shirt and some shorts. I don't want to just go swimming in my current shorts and shirts, as that would proabbly ruin them, but I think wetsuits look pretty cool. I'd never want to wear the current, trendy bathing suits like bikinis or board shorts.

Then again, I also can't swim.

i would love to be able to wear a bikini to the beach this summer i have seen some that look amazing, but as I haven't even started to transition yet it would be impossible.

Well not impossible but it would look really strange. I will probably be wearing board shorts this year, hopefully this will change in a few years.

Love <3

A one-piece for me. The only way to make those lovely "love handles" disappear.

It's almost time to go swimming, the lake is a toasty 37 degrees, and no ice. B)

I voted "other". I bought my first swimsuit last week with the help of my best girl friend (and the help of an iPhone to take and text pictures from the dressing room). I ended up getting a tankini with a skirt bottom and I LOVE it! It actually shows off what little boobs I have grown so far and makes my butt and legs look great! I actually laid out in it today ;-)

i voted monokini. im blessed with one of those bodies that easily converts MTF and back without hormones, so with a little makeup, nobody would ever guess. but i spent years working outdoors, so my musculature is very dense, but not large. i sink to the bottom and stay there, so i avoid the water laike the plague.

So, it's almost summer 2012. Naked swim was just the thing on the French Riviera and Calif beaches back in the '70's. Ahhhh memories. It would be interesting to see how the other transgrannies feel this year... it has been awhile since you posted on this topic.

I only wear one-peices... Showing off my body is not my style haha I honestly don't think anyone needs to know what my body looks like, except maybe my "future spouse"... :)

Changed my mind on this TOPIC

SWIM NAKED!

hee hee

In a closed pool, in the dark, at night, no full moon - only me and my 61 year ole naked androgynous body!

LOL - Haven't done that since the 70's in San Diego. :)

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources. 
    • Ashley0616
      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath. 
    • Ashley0616
      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
