Once, my boyfriend was looking through my facebook albums and noticed the date of an old beach photo– "Hey wait... oh my god, isn't that the same bikini you have now... ha! it is! hahaha! Why don't you just get a new one?!"
My avoidance of swimsuit shopping had caught up with me: 7 years of wearing the same one. Fortunately I don't go swimming much anyways.
As if bathing suit shopping isn't unpleasant enough already, let's throw in a deformity. The hunt can be emotionally draining to say the least. But it's worth gritting your teeth and braving the search process because once you find one that you feel comfortable wearing in public, the overall burden of having PE lightens.
I'm happy to report that I now have
three different ones (and have since deleted that photo he found in the depths of my account). Here are some bikinis for inspiration in your own search:
