    Hi!

    This has probably been brought up before but in that case I failed at using the search function...

    I love swimming! But I haven't been at the beach for maybe 15-18 years... I haven't even worn short sleeve shirts for almost as long (yeah i've been hiding myself basically). Now I am out and eventually I might want to go to a secluded beach or island where I live to go swimming with my loved one (who also loves swimming).

    What to wear? Bikini or swim suit or anything else? What do you guys wear? I don't want to cause any commotion or scare people away. Any tips on what to wear to feel comfortable and not look too bad at the same time?

    I'm thinking of something a little patterned as camouflage for the "bits that shall not be spoken of"... But that's where my creation stops at the moment. Help please!

    Thanks for the replies!

    Yeah a gaff is a must I think! I will try to find some boy shorts-ish bikini bottoms to see what I think of them.

    I did find a swimsuit with a tiny bit of leg (maybe not even an inch on the inner thigh) which looked like it could work but I don't know. I will definitely keep my eyes open for the shorts bikini though! :thumbsup:

    That, or a bikini top with board shorts (typical guy style swimming trunks). My ex girlfriend wasn't even trans and wore that when she went swimming....
