Has anybody gone to the beach enfemme? I'm not talking about just wearing women's trousers, shorts, skirt, etc...I'm talking either one piece or two piece bathing suits. I read something on someone's website (about transitioning) that after her surgery, she could finally go to the beach. That got me thinking that we all may be limited in beach going dressed up if you intend to go into the water.

I've never been to the beach, but when I was younger (read better body) and lived in an apartment I went to the apartment pool around 1 am one night in a bikini. I spent about 20 minutes in the pool with absolutely no one going by. Then I got out and as I was walking back to my apartment (about 100 yards away) a teenage girl walked right by me. I don't think she noticed anything because she looked at me and even what I was wearing and then just kept walking. No second look at all. I was SO nervous but it turned out being a great confidence booster.

Hi Katrina,
My 0.02 :
I don't think it's possible to go in the water if you have breast forms. Plus, to look more like a woman, I know I need makeup but that would wash away if I went into the water. I imagine you could just lay on the sand but I know for me I could not wear a bikini as I'm sure the breast forms would stick out of the top part and be noticeable.

I think this woman was referring to the "bits below" causing an unsightly bulge. She had breasts and probably didn't wear much in the way of makeup since she was TS and was very far along.

I've been to the beach a few times in Florida. One was a fairly quiet beach and the other was at Miami Beach early one morning. I went in the water one time but couldn't go too deep because of my wig and makeup. Breast forms are fine in the water so long has you have a swimming cossy with a high enought front and hidden support. One approach is to get a cossy that is a size smaller than usual and this will help hold the boobs in place. Regarding other bulges I have been blessed (?) with not too much to bulge. So a secure tuck and tape keep everything in place. If want to see some photos of the expedition take a look at my website.

Thought about it but haven't done it yet. I live at Panama City Beach,FL ;it only takes me a few minutes from my apartment to get to the ocean .

I have a one piece with a skirt. Last summer I replaced all of the fencing around my backyard with 6' fencing and shrubs that are growing taller. So why drive a half hour to get to the beach and deal with parking when I can step outside my door and be in water within 8 feet?
I've seen clear breast forms for swimsuits and they were water resistant as well.Originally Posted by steffie39
But if they ever needed to evacuate a beach quickly, i'll gladly show up.

[SIZE="3"]actually, have been t' th' beach a couple times, when was not crowded,,, tho' th' need for make-up 'n a wig precluded any actual real swimming, did go in water up to my waist, once,,, but no splashing!!!,,,,, i have a skirted one-piece suit and a couple tankini's,, all with cups that were not too difficult t' modify t' hold breast forms, similar to a mastectomy bra,('n maybe someone might even sell such a thing), 'n worn tight/small sz.,, with th' tankini also kept a matching sarong handy, t' alleviate that unsightly bulge in case my tape 'n tuck didn't hold up,,,, incidentally,,, was oodles o' funn, but was nervous lots!!![/SIZE]
i go to the beach vevry summer in a black speedo i piece and no one even cares as long as i act natueral and just act like i belong in one and no i dont try and pass as a woman im just a guy in a swimsuit
I don't go out en-femme but I have stripped off on a beach and have been wearing panties under my jeans rather than male swiming trunks. Nobody gave me a second look. I would say that these panties weren't pink or frilly but in one case were white with a pattern and on another day a pair of women's pale blue Sloggi briefs, but others on that beach didn't seem to notice nor care.

Last summer I was on a surfing holiday with a load of my friends, and went pretty much everywhere as a girl, including surfing. I had a swim dress that I'd wear to the beach, breast forms weren't a problem - I used the sort of double sided tape you use to stop clothes sliding down or riding up to stick them on. Although did leave a sticky mess on the boob...

Not the beach, but when LG (Little Girl) Camp was held after the resort's pool opened one year, I went out to the pool for a swim. The pool area was packed with locals and I was wearing a cute two-piece skirted swimsuit I had made. I liked the suit very much and was well received.

From the title of the thread, I wasn't sure if it had to be at a beach or if it could also be a pool, a jacuzzi, or anywhere else that you might be seen by other people. In the latter instance, I can answer a definite yes! I've worn 1-pieces around the pool lots of times at my apartment complex, or just a bikini bottom if I wasn't really trying to pass, but even then, I had my legs shaved and my toenails painted red or fuschia to match the bikini. Like CharlotteSomers, I've also gone swimming in both the tops AND bottoms of bikinis, but always very late at night or maybe 1 or 2 in the morning, when the pool is deserted.
I think one company that makes a lot of nice suits for full-figured and well-endowed ladies is Exelnt Designs. Here's one of their better styles. Be sure to check out the back view. It's a really nice criss-cross style. I might also be able to help out with the wig/hair problem, insofar as going into the water. Anyone ever try those flower petal bathing caps? A lot of people think they're just for old ladies, but I've always loved wearing those. I'd probably match this one with the swimsuit in the first pic. Add to that a pair of beach sandals close to those colors, and I'm good to go!

Hi
I have been swimming at a beach in a swimsuit. And I loved it.
It was a quite beach up the Queensland coast, very private - it can only be reached by a 4WD.
I got into my swimsuit - a cute blue one-piece, put on some old plastic (yuck) breast forms and had a splash around in the water. I was nervious but if anyone had arrived I would have been able to see them for miles off and so had time to quickly get changed. I didn't worry about make up or even a wig, the swimsuit was enough to be able to enjoy the swim. I'd love to do it again.

I waterski in a two piece bikini,always shaved and my outlaw vest pushes my breast up like a corset.When heads turn I wonder if its my skiing or my aparrel [you know I'am a lengend in my own mind ...right?]
My wife recently took pics of me in a two piece Speedo... We were at a dead end road and I must admit to myself that I looked good. Would I venture to the beach? no. Would i venture to the local pool, sure.
I would love to go to the beach en-femme but as a naturist I am sure I would be read!
Helen
Yes one time in a white skirt, heels and tube top with long sleeves, this was during the summer but a chilly night took a walk down the board walk about 30 min's and back to the car.
I do have 5 one pice suits, one of them is even skirted. I will probably never get the chance to actually wear one to the beach though. But I must admit that it is a dream of mine.
my sister's reply when I told her how I prefer to dress
"Everyone has there thing, all that matters is that you are happy, love what you do and who you do it with"
Yes, many times. Usually I go around 8:00 AM, before the beach gets too crowded and before the teen girls get there. I have been read in the past and did not enjoy it. By going early, I can walk and swim to my heart's content and not worry about the tan lines from my top. I always wear a bikini so that when the beach starts to get more crowded, I can slip into the dunes and come out wearing only the bottoms and no one the wiser.
I don't know if it'll be of interest to anyone, but here's a bikini made for guys. It's the first one I know of that has a top with it. I guess it's more like the women's workout bikinis - SPEEDO or something - than what you might see girls wearing on the beach. For most of us, I'm sure the fact that it was made for guys takes away a lot of the fun all by itself, but I'll probably try it out around the pool this summer. It looks like it'd go nicely with a black flower-petal swim cap, and there's no question it'd go with red toenails!
