Do you find the sizing to be at all accurate?
I just tried to buy a Speedo online, and chose a size 34 based on an equivalent sizing chart, actually thinking I might officially be a 32 but wanting to err on the side of comfort because I'm not trying to win any speed records here.
I could barely get the goddamn thing over my hips at all, and when it was on I looked like a squashed sausage. It was insane. If I bother getting a replacement, I'll be going up to a 38 at least, maybe a 40.
Except now I'm gun shy and figure I should just get one locally after all, where I can try them on for real. But where does one do that? All the places I know are only selling the two-piece/halter-top/look-at-me-but-don't-get-me-wet kind. You know, the kind that falls right off when the terrified 6 year old grabs the shit out of you because he thought for a second he might sink after all.
