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?

I'm planning on a one piece with a skirt - they help ladies my age to not look like the are trying to recapture their youth! :rolleyes:

Love ya,

Recapture your youth?! Why, you're still very much in your youth, young lady. ;3

But regardless, skirted one pieces are cute. I approve. <3

Thank you, especially for the part about my youth! :blush:

The other option would be to wear a one piece with a higher neck like a tank top with the leg openings in a 'boy' cut - those are cute and hide the areas that we need to hide!

Love ya,

Sally

You're more than welcome.

While I agree that boy-cut one pieces are good, I's actually rather have an extra layer to help hide the fact that I've got narrow hips. If not shorts, then a skirt wouldn't be bad at all.

I voted board shorts. But that's only if I get dragged to the pool or the beach, which I generally avoid like the plague because I hate water. I can swim fine, but the whole floating in water and being surrounded by it kind of freaks me out. I dunno if you were looking for answers from FTMs though.

Everyone's welcome to answer here, of course.

I personally like water when it's warm, but I have circulation issues, I think; I can't even keep from shivering in lukewarm water, let alone cold water.

Ummm - I hide!

Too busty for a guy, not enough for a girl - or at least last year.

I wear shorts and a heavy teeshirt in the pool - refuse to cook in the sun anymore.

Maybe in another year?

That's what I'd wear too. A skirted one piece swimsuit. I haven't been swimming in 5 years now.

"Surfer shorts and a "T' shirt...look good but that may be in my eyes...no need to push it and the days of 6 pack abs and rippling pecs and deltoids are gone.............Mia

For lap swimming, I wear jammers, a binder, and a sleeveless compression shirt. When I swim for fun, though, I usually wear trunks/board shorts, a binder, and either a t-shirt or a compression shirt. I'm rather looking forward to swimming in the lake this summer. :)

I went out and bought swim trunks the other day. =3 Didn't get to use them, but now I can wear them, a binder, and black shirt and actually SWIM again! I haven't enjoyed swimming since I hit puberty...My Mom used to joke that I was a dolphin before that. =P

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!

I wear board shorts. but something more neutral would probably be nicer, maybe like a one piece with shorts? or maybe just a skirt (topless) :P but I'd probably look so weird

Hi,

I just found the poll and want to take part of it. I like one piece swimsuits most. In Germany is a group of real men who wear one piece swimsuit in public. Sometimes it is accepted, sometimes not. So for all MTF who look still like a man, I think it is possible to wear it public if it is not a super female swimsuit with high cutted legs and strange colors. What I like are the swimsuits for sport with the race neck. They are very tight and helps tucking. Okay I never try this outside of my home.

What you can also try to use is a triathlon swimsuit. Both male and female version looks nearly the same. They are with a close bag and with short legs. If it is one also for cycling, than it has a soft pad inside and it is perfect for tucking.

My dream is to go out one day in a tiny bikini.

Greetings

Nelly

Swim trunks and a binder. When my hair's wet I pass better so I get weird looks about the binder, since it looks like I'm wearing trunks over a one-piece, but I don't want to wear a shirt while swimming.

Soo many choices... i two years time (SRS) I'll probably wear a bikini.

For now... a one piece and either very tight panties a or a wrap-around :)

I love bikinis tho...

Maybe one like borat's??? ^^

nah, you have to be hairy for that.

Hmmm :D

Well anyway, we're heading into winter here soooo. I'm doing boot, trenchcoat, long skirt, jersey, scarve and pj/slipper shopping with mommy :D

Omw and we gna watch confessions of a shopaholic.

Suppose we could reccord ourselves for that :) maybe like a South African version???

Unfortunately, I do not like to swim much because of my body. However, I convinced my mother to buy two versions of bathing suit (as I am still under cover XD;; ) A girls one, is a one piece. (I do not plan to wear.)

But being a guy, I opted for board shorts and possibly a tank top with something to keep chest down on top. I am only an A-CUP in those female sizes, so it is awkward; but a little believable when compressed. (I have very wide hips though, despair! Board shorts cover that so much better than speedoes or anything else.)

Someday, I will not need a shirt while swimming! *glimmer of hope shines*

For MtF though, a lot of friends on my art site have said one-pieces or tankini (tank top bikini things?) with the skirt-bottom is a safe bet.

Of course these days, a lot of people swim in shorts and a t-shirt! Hurray for farmers tans!! XD

      What do you do when you feel triggered?
    • Heather Shay
      kind of in a null state

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.

      The numbers of those negatively affected are significant and discouraging, but the good news is that "over half" of Trans youth live in safe states, and such states do exist.

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.
