Over a year ago, Manolo the shoe blogger had a post on modest swim wear...and got a lot of answers from Christian and Jewish women (some who included links) who said: Yes, and we want to use them too...
The Manolo he should not laugh. Many of the womens of the religious faiths, including the Sarah, who is Orthodox Jewish, struggle to balance the modesty with the modernity.... Better for the modest Muslim womens to be swimming in the Smurf suits, getting exercise and enjoying herselves, than to sit at home with the bon-bons, gazing at the photos of the hankerchiefs that pass for bathing suits in these days in the fashion magazines, or compromising on her beliefs in the religion and the spirituality...
So USAToday notes the success of companies selling modest and ultramodest swimwear...
some Muslim HERE.. And Christian HERE
Me, I use a classic dark blue bathing suit, but have to cover my top with a teeshirt to protect my skin from sunburn, and as soon as I'm out of the water, I use a towel as a skirt (Sarong).
or as RedHatHaHas notes:
Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:
- A nose ring and bifocals
- Spiked hair and bald spots
- A pierced tongue and dentures
- Miniskirts and support hose
- Ankle bracelets and corn pads
- Speedo's and cellulite
- A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
- Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor
- Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge!
- Bikinis and liver spots
- Short shorts and varicose veins (seen on my cruise)
- Inline skates and a walker And last, but not least ... my personal favorite ...
- Thongs and Depends
