I actually bought a bikini today!!

Woohoo Cece that's awesome! Is your stoma low? Mine is high, so I'm trying to figure out this bikini business. I better get to it, only a few more months until the beach will be calling!


What a high that must have been to see yourself in a bikini, in a dressing room, with no bag showing. I'm excited for you!

r u serious?! i got totally pissed b/c i've been wearing bikinis since my mother said i was old enough :O). But the other day i went to target and got mad b/c i realized that i wont b able to wear one this summer. I've actually given up on wearing a swim suit at all.

So is it a real bikini or like one of those tankinis? i even feel weird about those b/c i feel like they'll lift up and show everything. I'm so happy u found something that works for u!

p.s.

i used to be a bikini top and shorts kinda girl. i always thought my bottom half was pretty unflattering ( consider the irony lol). I dont know what i am now.

Congrats Cece!! It's so nice to regain some normalcy isn't it? Especially with you being in Florida. :)

I've never worn a bikini - not because of my bag but because some bodies should just never ever be seen in a bikini, and mine's one of them lol

YAY! I actually just bought one last week! We're headed to Arizona for Spring TRaining baseball on Saturday, and I was soooooo scared to tryand find a suit with this bag. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I found a bikini bottom with a very short, straight skirt. It manages to hide the bag, yet not look like a little ol lady suit!! LOL, plus it comes up high enough to hide the stoma, but it isn't tooo high either. Once I found that, I was free to find any top I wanted, just like regular.

ok that is the best way i have ever heard for someone to describe their beer belly!

Haha I agree!

Speedos don't look good on any guy, despite their physique - stick with the boardies (board shorts) - they look heaps better :p
