When it comes to this time of year, guys have it pretty easy, I mean, as a sports fan, it’s great. Baseball’s in full swing and hockey and basketball are making their final run to the championships.
Yet it’s this time of year that I hear women complaining about the most. No, not about all those sports events. I know plenty of women that are die-hard hockey fans, basketball junkies or baseball fanatics. No, I’m talking about those two words that many women dread to hear each and every year:
Swimsuit season.
Yeah, guys do have it easy when it comes to bathing suits. The biggest issue I ever have with a swimsuit is what color to get. And even then, it really doesn’t matter. As long as the drawstring stays tied and my suit stays on, I’m good.
True story. I remember being a kid probably around 10 or 11. I was over at Cape Cod in Massachusetts with my family one summer. My dad and I were having a blast riding the waves out in the ocean. They were pretty rough too, knocking us this way and that.
I was having an absolute blast getting knocked around a bit in my bright red swim trunks. Then out of nowhere, a huge wave smacked us so hard. I remember being face first in the sand, coughing out salty water. I shook my head a bit and then stood up…
…only to realize my bathing suit was now around my ankles.
My face turned a brighter shade of red than my swimsuit, as I pulled it up quickly. A guy next to me just laughed and said something like, “That was some wave, huh?”
So when I say all I care about is that the drawstring holds, I definitely mean it!
Women, on the other hand, worry about so much more. There’s the color and pattern. The cut, the fit, and how revealing to go. I can only imagine how exhausting swimsuit shopping can be.
There are plenty of online stores, however, that take the dread of the dressing room mirror out of the picture. Just browse online, buy what you want and try them on in the comfort of your own home.

I am not generally a big fan. I find a suit based on comfort alone usually and not usually loving how it looks so it is kind of a neutral feeling!
not to happy about it because im a little bit over weight but the swimsuits on here i would wear because it don’t show alot .havent worn a swimsuit since i was a kid
Ehh.. it’s not a good subject. I’ve gained a few pounds and I’m a bit hippy.. So I make sure I always have a suit with a skirt =)
I need as much coverup as I can because I have a sun allergy.
I’m not a big fan but once you get me in the water I forget all about it!
I don’t mind swimsuit season that much.
Since I’ve been weightlifting, the BEST I’ve felt in years!
I don’t mind swimsuit season. I let myself enjoy it. 🙂

I love swim suit season!
I worry about swimsuit season until I start having fun in the moment.
I’m not ready…. 🙂
I HATE IT
I don’t feel any different about it than the rest of the year.
I like swimsuit season because of the weather, I dont like it because I am self conscious in swimwear but try to make the best of it for my family
extreme dread and fear LOL. we have a pool so i dont worry too much. i really dont have the bod for a bikini though
I love to swim and go to the beach but I hate trying to find a swimsuit that looks good and feels comfortable on me
I enjoy swimsuit season…but hate my swimsuit!
Im so ready for swim suit season, sun screen and just fun in the sun!! Winning this suit would just make my summer perfect!!
I like swimming pools but not a beach person much!
I am not a fan of it. lol I don’t like the hot. I’m a winter girl all the way! Thank you
Thank you for the giveaway. Swimsuit season is very intimidating for me, but I am looking for a swimsuit that I will feel comfortable in. I haven’t worn a swimsuit in several years and think that I am ready to find the right one!
I typically dread swimsuit season, but as I’m getting older I’m becoming less self-conscious about it and am just trying to enjoy life and my family!
I don’t mind swimsuit season.
I say bring it on.
I’ll be honest currently I very much dread swimsuit season but I am working out and losing weight slowly. Perhaps next summer will be better.
I hate swimsuit season, but I deal with it for the sake of my son
Swimsuit season is my favorite! I love being outdoors and practically live in my swimmies during the summer.
Glad swimsuit season is here!
hate it i can never find a swimsuit i feel comfy in
UGH
my feelings are.. i’m not ready!!
I kind of feel good about it. My body isn’t perfect but I feel free being in a bathing suit.
I have a Love/Hate relationship with Swimsuit Season. Summer here in the Arizona desert is blazing hot so I spend a lot of time in our swimming pool. I love the cool water on a hot day but finding a comfortable swimsuit is a challenge. I would love to win a Leonisa swimsuit. Thanks
After some winter health issues, I’m a bit heavier this year…so swimsuit season isn’t super wonderful…yet!
I love the swim suits. To be honest I have not been in a swimsuit since my rare surgery back in 2009. I had a rare tumor that ate thru my pelvis bone. So they took the tumor and the damage pelvis bone out. Now I have a ugly scar across my back so I need a bathing suit that can cover it..I can’t swim due to limited mobility but I do like to float in the pool to help with the pain..
when I was younger, and ahem, had a figure I loved swimsuit season! Now I kind of dread it and rarely go swimming. However my daughter is a swimsuit fanatic and fashionista in the making, and has the figure for it so we usually get her a couple of nice suits each season.
I don’t mind it…it helps to have a nice bathing suit.
I enjoy swimsuit season when I’m feeling good about myself…this year not so much, need to lose about 20 lbs
I have high hopes for swimsuit season. So far I’ve lost 12 pounds and looking to lose more. Go me!
Love the summer season. I don’t really like wearing a bathing suit but it’s the only way to enjoy my favorite water sports.
i am not a fan but that is because i dont have a suit!
I live in AZ so it’s swimsuit season almost all year, always ready!
I just had a baby, so I need to lose a little bit of baby weight 🙂
I am more excited than last I am over half way to my goal weight looking forward to showing off my hard work
I’m ready, I could go to the beach every day!
I absolutely love swimsuit season!
Als voorbeeld , stel je bent op twee pair , maar er is een bevek naar straight schets.
Love swimsuit season because we have our own pool! I love being out there with my kiddos.
Not really a fan of swimsuit season but losing the 20lbs that I just did is helping it along
Love the season, hate the swimsuit part
Love swimsuit season ready for it like always – wish Canada had summer all ur round.
I am looking forward to swimsuit season as I love the feeling of the sun on my skin
I hate the hotter weather. I feel that swimsuit season is good because it makes me remember not to neglect my workouts.
I love the warm weather and the beaches.
Summer is my favorite season — I’m looking forward to swimsuit season. Suits I’ve see this year are super cute. Really like the ones shown here.
I have a love/hate relationship with swimsuit season. I love being in the water but I hate being seen in a suit. A good fitting and flattering suit makes it all more enjoyable though.
I have made a choice to quit focusing on it being swimsuit season and focus on having fun with my kids in the pool.
I love the warm weather, suntanning and hanging out at the beaches
I haven’t lost all of my winter weight though. I don’t care, the right style will still look fantastic. I DO need a new swimsuit though.
I love that it is warmer, but not so excited about being seen in a swimsuit.
I’m looking forward to some warm swimming weather after the long winter we had.
Lovely bathing suit
Umm, I really don’t care. I don’t have the best body, but I don’t fret over it. I just buy something that is flattering and call it a day!
Worried for swimsuit season, didn’t lose as much weight as I wanted to for this one 🙁
I am beyond excited & always looking forward for summer. We love going to the beach & swimming at the pool
This is the first year I am actually excited about swimsuit season since our family is going on vacation to a water park. I can’t even remember the last time I went swimsuit shopping and put on a bathing suit in public!
i hate it
I am out of shape, so I’m never thrilled to put a swimsuit on…but I love to be at the beach anyways! And I’ve been working on getting in shape, so this year I’ll look better than last year!
I am excited about swimsuit season. I like to spend time at the beach.
I live in Florida, it is “swimsuit season” year-round here! I am very comfortable with my body and have no problem wearing my swimsuit out to the beach, out on the boat, or out kayaking or tubing one of the many rivers around here.
I’m super excited! I’ve been working out a lot lately and lost some weight, so I cannot wait to put on a swim suit
Swimsuit season doesn’t bother me.
wish I had some weight gone, working on it though
im a mother of two and id rather cover up andlook more respectful i love swim wear and fashion
I am looking forward to swimsuit season. I have been working out lately.
I am pretty confident about swimsuit season and look forward to it every year! I would love to update my swimsuit though as it’s really outdated. Can’t wait to hit the pool soon with the kids!!
I’m excited about it. It did seem that it came really quick this year. The weather here has been really odd this year so I think it through us off a bit.
Swimsuit season came way to fast this year! I’m proud of my body but I wish I would’ve worked off a bit of that holiday weight I gained lol
I need to lose a bit of weight. These suits look amazing.
Swimsuit season is scary but these particular suits would ease my anxieties a bit..thanks for the chance to win! 😀
well i wish my body was ready for it
I absolutely love swimsuit season. Wish I weighed just a few pounds less but oh well 🙂
Dreading it. Totally did not work out for this summer 🙁
I’m more about spending time with my son having fun than fretting about swimsuit season!
I am excited about it!
I don’ love swimsuit season, but I love my kids and taking them out to have fun makes it fun for me.
I dread it
Love the beach and water, love swimsuit season.
Im OK with it at the beginning, once Im tan Im totally comfortable!
Im excited. I love the warm weather.
Love hate relationship…. love it in my own swimming pool, hate it anywhere in public!
I dread swimsuit season because I can never find a swimsuit I actually feel comfortable in
I love swimsuit season!
I am ready for it!
I love swimsuit season
I’m dreading it as a usual. I love the black one piece though so maybe layered tank tops and shorts won’t be my water wear again this year -that’s as close to a suit as I’ve been getting.
My feelings are that I wish I weighed a heck of a lot less than I do!!!
I love swimsuit season! I used to be self conscious because of scars I have from a car accident but I have learned to let go and live life!
I’m not ready for it yet
Dreading it! I’ve put on some extra pounds & it really affects my self-confidence at this time of year.
oh great,I really like the Bloused One-Piece Bathing Suit with Bottom Control..so cute! Would be nice to have a new bathing suit 🙂
I’m excited about it for sure
I’ve always hated swimsuit season, even as a teenager.
Feeling better this year about it than I have in a long time.
Not a problem here.
Wanting a flattering bathing suit!!
I don’t mind Swimsuit Season.
I love swimsuit season! Just make sure you cover yourselves in sunscreen, people!
I love the swimsuit season! 🙂
I am looking forward to going to the beach with my kids. My body isn’t perfect, but it’s a beautiful thing not to care what others think of how I look.
I used to have a real issue with it until a friend said this: Go to a beach. Any beach. Look around you. No matter HOW bad you think you look….there is someone there who looks 100 times worse. And could care less. So rock that suit!
I love the pool and beach, but I do feel a bit self conscious in a swim suit. I definitely need to work out a bit more!
I don’t love nor hate swimsuit season. I don’t particularly care for swimsuit shopping but when I find one that fits well, I am happy. I love being out in the sun.
Love swimsuit season and enjoy as much of it as I can!
Equal parts dread and excitement! I love swimming and getting a new swimsuit, but finding a flattering one is a chore.
I like swimsuit season.
I’m glad that it’s finally here!
I love spending time at the lake and river throughout the summer, so swimsuits are just a part of that. It helps to have a good-quality one, though, which I do not. I need a new one after throwing out my last one this past year.
It used to not bother me, but now I rarely go places that requiring wearing a swimsuit, so when I do, I feel kinda weird about it.
I’m not a big fan of swimsuit season – it’s okay if you got the figure for it
Love swim wear season. I was born a beach bum.
I’ve been diligently working out so I feel much better this summer than previous years.
Moderately excited
My feeling about swimsuit season is that it is a great time to get out and enjoy the beach or the pool.
Not excited.
I don’t even wear t shirts unless I have a GREAT body image day… I haven’t been in a bikini since I was 14 years old…
I don’t mind at all. I still maintain my figure even at 55
actually I like swimsuit season, I love the beach and think a cute new suit just lifts my spirit!
I like swimsuit season because it means sunshine and hopefully some time in a pool.
It really depends on the swimsuit to me.I am so not ready this year.
If I lost ten or fifteen pounds I’d like it a lot better!
I like swimsuit season, it means the weather is nice and warm.
This year is going to be the hardest yet because I’ve gained about 15 pounds.
i am not a fan of swimsuit season..i dont feel i look very good in one
I don’t like the water so I rarely need a swimsuit but this year I’m taking a trip and will need one. Hate trying them on!
Hmmm… Love to swim – hate to wear swimsuit!
I just told my husband, about a week or so ago, that I don’t do swimsuits anymore. Haha!
I am excited about swimsuit season.
I love being in the water, but not thrilled with swimsuits
I’m not a super fan of swimsuit season, but I make myself to set an example for my children and grandchildren!
i love it…
but i’m a man.
I feel like i’m not ready this summer and it makes me sad.
I don’t love it.
Honestly–I dread it. Always have, always will.
I have a love/hate relationship with bathing suit season.
That I should start getting in shape haha
always a little nervous at first
I had swimsuit season, but I’m working on fitness so maybe I can like it again.
I may not have the “perfect swimsuit body” but I love swimsuit season! I strut my stuff, mom gut and all..lol
Not the biggest fan of it, I need a new suit and keep procrastinating about going shopping for one.
It doesn’t bother me because I love swimming.
I’m scared of swimsuit season.
