Where to find bathing suits over a size 32

ByLindley Ashline

One of the best things about summer is water: swimming, splashing, wading, dancing, drinking, flavoring, floating, fishing, boating, or soaking in it!

The larger your clothing size, though, the more challenging it can be to find a swimsuit you find comfortable or beautiful. For folks who wear clothing sizes larger than are generally carried at brick-and-mortar stores — even plus-size stores — finding a bathing suit can be a real summer-joy-hindering pain.

Here are over 10 places for people who wear over a size U.S. 32 (who might identify as superfat or infinifat) to find both feminine and masculine-styled bathing suits, swimsuits and swim trunks.

Image description: A fat white woman in a short-sleeved red dress sits in front of a stone wall and shrugs. There’s a pattern I’ve seen displayed dozens of times by people and organizations who are asked to walk their talk about size inclusivity, and it goes something like this: Invalidation or gaslighting of the fat…

Thin privilege is eating out without fear of public ridicule or shaming due to your body size or food choices. I don’t always do thin privilege posts because, honestly, they’re exhausting. Thin fragility leads people to argue endlessly with me rather than listen. One of the ways I use my own privilege as a white…

I stopped briefly in Salt Lake City while traveling, and this session shows how much we can accomplish even during a very limited session.
