Do I need to embrace the one-piece?

So, I'm nearly five months post-partum with my second and last child. My tummy is flat again and my pregnancy weight is nearly gone so I would be bikini fit by the summer were it not for, in order of my concern:

  • a stretched and misshapen outtie bellybutton;
  • excess tummy skin that looks like crepe paper when I sit down; and
  • some very faint stretch marks.


Do I need to wear a one-piece? They don't really suit me as I have a long body and shorter legs. I used to feel great in a bikini and feel very sad that my bikini days may be over.

Wear a bikini - honestly nobody cares or judges.

What about a tankini - fig leaves do some lovely ones...

Your tummy is flat five months post partum? Wear a bikini. End of.
