DD#1 is a larger gal, and she buys the same way as I do. She likes the option of having the shorts to wear at some public places, but at friends she is comfortable just wearing the suit.
I agree, I buy my swimsuits at Costco, under 25 dollars, and I also bought a pair of men's swim shorts. I swim 5 days a week with a handicapped client and the ladies swimsuit lasts about a year, due to the exposure to the chlorine in the pool. Funny, the men's swimsuit doesn't show any fading and it's been a few years now. I buy the largest size and squeeze myself into it!!
