I always bend, stretch and reach in the bathing suit I am trying on. I gotta make sure my big ole arse is covered at all times and that what little I got up top doesn't fall out when I reach to pick up a towel.
Personally, its rare you'll ever catch me in a string bikini again. When I was younger (13 or 14) I was wearing one and went off the diving board. They came off in the water and I had put them almost all the way back on underwater and was feverishly trying to tie the other side just to cover myself. I came up for air and was starting to have problems doing that while treading water in the deep end as I couldn't see to tie, but I was still okay, I was fine - Lifeguard then started blowing his whistle thinking I was drowning, everyone turned as lifeguard then started throwing his styrophone rings at me, my brother jumped in to save me.
I was trying to explain to him I didn't have my bottoms all the way on, he didn't understand, he was pulling me to the ladder, I was beating him off yelling at him, he thought he was helping but instead he pulled me up with half of my bikini on and half off.
Yeah... I guess I looked like a real nut out there in the water beating off someone trying to help save me.
As a a teen I was mortified, but as an adult, I can laugh at it but have learned some swimsuits (although called swimsuits) really arn't for swimming, diving, etc... that's why its good to keep in mind the activity
