I'm a size 9-10 right now.

I just wanted to know what size 1-piece swimsuit should I buy these days? Is it supposed be the same size as my regular clothes or is it different these days?

Right now I have a size 12 one and it fits perfect. But am I supposed to be the same size as my regulars clothes when it comes to swimsuits? Just wondering.

    I think usually the swimsuit is a size bigger than your clothes because it's formfitting and stretchy.

    I agree. I have a size 12 bathing suit that is a little tight, but looks really good (it has a fat sucker in it.. yay!). But I'm wearing a size 12 shorts right now.... so I'd say a size up, or the same depending on the suit.

    THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!! Man, I thought I was going crazy and was worried about my size and such (because I am losing some weight now).

    Yeah, I thought so with the stretchy material and such (and coverage in the crotch and butt areas is vital too, to think about). Okay, then I'll buy a 12 for now on. I'll just stick to 2 sizes bigger from my regular clothes....

    Oh, thank you so much, you guys!!

    In the wise words of Yoda, "Size matters not." :laugh:

    Try 'em on, and whatever flatters, fits and makes you happy is the winner, no matter what the tag says.

    I would say your a size 12 then. You usually go up a size then your regular pant size. I would also make sure you try them on first before purchase that is if you can.

    Totally agree...GO for the Bikini...It is a great feeling to put one on and be confident that the hard work is paying off. :)

    Yeah, I like bikinis, but I'm not tanned enough yet to wear one...LOL! I haven't wore a bikini out in public since 2009. But I still wear one in my backyard, when I go tanning outside.

    If its a training suit for swimming, when you try it on, lift the arm straps up and if they go past your ears it's too big.
