What Is Usually Worn With Boarding Shorts… Tank Top Or Swimsuit Underneath?
After having kids, I feel way more comfortable swimming with board shorts. Just wondering if I should buy a new swim suit this year to wear under the shorts, or if it is acceptable to wear a tank top.

There are elastic waistbands on cheap boardshorts but those aren’t very comfortable and just offer added room in the waist. O’Neill makes a boardshort with a little bit of all over stretch to it (86% polyester, 14% spandex) so that even when sitting or after a meal you’re comfortable.
The problem with wearing a suit and boardies is that you increase your chance of getting a yeast infection. It’s rather uncomfortable too having so many layers on a hot day. You’re supposed to change out of wet/damp clothes as soon as possible. If you’ve got a suit and shorts on in hot weather then you’ll get a lot of moisture down there which yeast thrives on.
Of course you can wear a tank top. You can wear a bikini top under the tank top. You can also wear a rash guard with a bikini top under it.

I just bought some board shorts, and i wear those as my bathing suit bottom and i got a regular bikini top :]]
its super cute and hides the belly a lil
don’t wear a tank top, when that gets wet it sticks to you, and then it sticks to the parts your trying to hide, much more obvious. lol
Good luck!

what’s the tank top have to do with under the board shorts?
i like the board shorts too. if you feel like wearing a speedo or something, go for it.
cheers
. . . oh, are you a chick- i’d suggest wearing something that gives you support up top (alone or under). unless you’re looking to impress, go with what you’re comfortable with.
sorry, that pic’s SO small, no offense intended
