    Would love some feedback from y’all on what you thought of the structure of this video! Did you like seeing me try on everything together before testing it? Or, do you like when I show myself trying on one outfit, and then cut to me testing it, before I show myself trying on the next piece?
    This was such a fun video to film and I want to do more like it in the future!! Not excuses to go boogie board for 2 hours in the middle of the day pleeeeease 😅🥰

    As someone who was wearing the wrong bra size for several years with worsening back pain, I suggest you measure again for bra sizes--40D would mean your ribcage measures 40" and the largest part of your boob is 44" around. Every inch is another cup size, and I suspect you need different sizing to get better support. I helped a friend who found out she needed to *reduce* the band size and increase the cup size by 4 sizes.

    I appreciate so much that you actually tested the swimsuits at the beach. I know you have a pool at home, so I never would’ve expected you to go to the beach, but that allowed you to do a really proper test in the ocean and running around.

      "Really proper test" is a good way to put it. I don't live near a beach, so it's not something I usually consider when buying a swimsuit, but then I went on a beach vacation and I had to readjust several times and it was so annoying

      Their swimwear was the first I've found that a) covered what I wanted covered, b) fit correctly, and c) wasn't ridiculously expensive. I feel so comfortable in it and don't have to readjust at all. They even have swim leggings and long-sleeve swim tunics if you'd like to be completely covered.

    As someone with dark, thick body hair I'm so glad they've come out with a shorts option. My bikini area is so sensitive that I can't shave or wax any hair in that area. Women are basically expected to be bald in this area (which gives me weird vibes) so I've always been insecure.
    Edit: And although I'm white (it's common for certain types of white European to have thick body hair, maybe it's different for white Americans), I think the shorts are a great way of having inclusively for POC. South Asians for example have dark body hair which has been targeted as a way to "other" them in the West. The option to cover it if you're insecure but still look nice will probably mean a lot to a lot of people.

      Ive had an abscess from shaving that ended up turning necrotic, which was just great fun 😐😶😑. I bought an at home IPL machine and its gives amazing results. Still trying to get to the hair free stage as every few weeks i have to stop because my scar starts getting reinfected. Its been a three year struggle especially when no dr will drain it and A&E just give me antibiotics, which do not end up getting the full infection out. Ive had a stint on antibiotics for 6 months in a row before. Didnt help. All this because hair is seen as gross. Even I think its gross(when its long) because of the trends while growing up and expectations of womens bodies.

      They are celebs and have money for surgeries. They live in Cali and cosmetic surgery is normal for them. They have larger sizes because it’s a business & they get more profit by catering to the larger crowd. Brands like Abercrombie and Hollister now have larger sizes when they previously did not. They don’t really care about obese women but they just want more money. Nothing confusing about it.

    Sierra, i just wanted to say that i appreciate you a lot. I love your kind and positive attitude, and this may sound weird but I want to thank you for trying on swimsuits and showing them. it helps me a lot to see someone with a similar body to mine be confident, carefree and having fun in swimsuits, and it helps that we see people like you more and more often embracing the body they have and being happy. you're fighting the good fight. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    It’s like they forgot when you make something bigger you actually need more fabric. When I shop plus size I usually have the issue that I can’t fill out the fabric because my cup size is m quite small, even though my body and chest is quite big. I feel in those pieces even I would be spilling out everywhere.

    And on a side note, having grown up in the 80s and 90s and only seeing ONE body type fed to me as 'beautiful', I am HERE for bodies of all types being portrayed as beautiful and something to be confident in. My 40 years of body issues are slowly but surely beginning to heal.

    As a slightly bigger girl some things I’ve found really helpful when it comes to swim suits is wearing my bottoms backwards and wearing my string bikini tops upside down is A LOT more flattering, no matter how small they are. Idk why, but it just WORKS! When it comes to wearing the bottoms backwards, your butt will be out, but if you have a bigger stomach and 🐈 it’s so much more comfortable than constantly trying to cover up.
