I have a swim suit similar to the PP with the skirt attached which is lovely, I got it in TKMaxx.

I would just like to say well done on the weight loss that's amazing!

I can honestly say I can't think of any occasion where I've been at a water park and noticed what someone else was wearing/looked like. I know you'll be self conscious regardless but people come in all shapes and sizes and we're all there to have fun, not looking at others bums but I completely understand your nerves and whatever you decide you won't stand out, there are far too many things to watch/do for anyone to be interested in someone else's swimming attire.

Try not to stress and have a fabulous time, they really are good fun even if you spend all day floating round the lazy river

Flip flops are ok for walking around, but they will fall on if you went swimming with them in TL.

Pool shoes will stay on your feet and have rubber grips on the base. The floor is very abrasive and when the waves hit you, it knocks you off your feet and it can act like sand paper.

Pretty sure most of those "skimpy on the bum" swimsuits are being worn by Brazilians not American! It always surprises me when even the grandma's in the group are wearing them.

I went into benmarche today and looked at this swim dress... They didn't have my size and the next size up was too big but I really liked the shirt to hide the thighs!

That's a really nice costume! Maybe they could order you one in?

I tried to wear a mankini but was refused entrance on the grounds it was to revealing.

I thought my buttocks weighing in at around 2 stone each fitted in rather well with some of the bigger ladies walking around in there tight fit bikini bottoms.

What I am trying to say is do not worry I have had many big bums stuck in my face as I was walking up the steps to a water slide its part of the water park theme.

No one is really looking at what your wearing or how big or small you might be there all there for fun.

But as some have posted for there own feeling they wear shorts and a tankini or similar but please do not worry about your size just have fun.

The only person I have ever seen getting funny looks was a lady fully gowned from head to toe in the blistering sun waiting for her turn to go down a water slide.
While her husband was wearing a pair of swimming shorts.

I go for flip flops, then wear them like bracelets on the rides.
