I tried something some of you have done, but many have not: I wore a swimsuit.
Often, it's hard to find the right article of women's clothing to wear, usually because they want to

Swimsuits are difficult because I have to find one that will both hide my forms and keep them in place. There are suits with molded bras which hold their shape even if empty, but sometimes the cups collapse if you move in unexpected ways. That's kind of embarrassing.
After trying to keep my forms covered in different styles unsuccessfully, I turned to mastectomy suits. These are more expensive, which sucks for women who need them. In reality, they are just suits with a higher front (not an uncommon style) and a little piece of fabric with a pocket for a form. I guess they charge more because they can.
I ordered the suit shown here from SwimOutlet.com. It arrived pretty quickly and looked better in person than on their website.
The suit I ordered has a small "skirt" front and fits quite well. It's not the suit that would attract my eye if I was on the beach, but it would serve its purpose. And nice as it is to be noticed, I don't really want to attract eyes. Or so I say.
I put in my "overnight" forms, which are more firm than the ones I usually wear and I think it looked OK.... once I did that excessive shaving bit. But I like the way my regular clothes feel over shaved legs, and now that feeling went all the way UP. It was worth the extra time.
But there are limits to what I'm going to wax!
