Does anyone have a preferred style??

I wear all -- one-piece, tankini, and bikini. Thanks to family's genes, I'm petite and have always been slim all my life, though every time I compare my body with others, I can feel the green-eyed monster creeping round. I never had a curvy body and never will, but husband and daughter always say I look good in bathers, so that's that.

I swam as a kid so it was all one piece. I had one bikini once and I felt very bare like everyone was staring at me and I was doing something wrong. So, I've had a one piece.

But, I do envy those that can wear a tankini or a bikini.
