Advice re: foobless swimwear

Dee2010

Hi everyone.  I had my bilat in July, and am now hoping to start doing some aquafitness to get back into shape. However, I am not doing reconstruction, and want to avoid foobs as much as possible.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could wear as swimwear?  I've been thinking maybe those t-shirts for biking, which are quick drying and close enough to the body to not float up to my ears as I exercise.  Anyone with experience out there???  I would appreciate any ideas you might have.

 Dee, I don't have any advice myself, 'cause I do wear a foobie with my swimwear, but there is a thread farther down on this board that may be of help to you.  It's called Wardrobe Pics for Boobless Days, and has a lot of pictures and discussions of swimsuits and tops worn without foobies.

I bought a speedo. As it doesn't have a bra it works fine. Before I got the speedo, I wore my pre mast swim suit. It worked as it had a shelf bra.

i made one of these.  it is easy to make them larger than they need to be.  One works VERY well.

I bought a tankini and cut out the shelf bra. Lands End makes a lined suit without any bra. Athletica makes one too. I prefer the lined ones as my chest is a bit concave and the lined suits help hide that some.

I'm a little late in seeing this, but I bought a top at Target that was in the exercise area.  It rang up as a "yoga top"....it looked like a long tankini top, and had a nice fit.  It had a lined area at the top, and I found different designs that would camouflauge (sp??) my flat front a little (i.e. stripes, scattered design).  They were made of swimsuit fabric, too.  They were inexpensive - around $15 or less, even finding one on clearance. 

 They have worked well at the pool, at the lake, and for boating. 

Even now, I still see them at Target...I think they are running tops....
