Swimsuit question more or less.

No one?

I've not been a cutlet-user in the past, but lord knows I should be

. Are they intended to be put in the little lined pocket many swimsuits come with? That's the only way I'd risk it - putting them between suit and skin seems like asking for it!

I have takeouts and I'm not sure I'd risk wearing them with a swimsuit. They're kinda heavy and I'm afraid they'd fall or stick out the top.

ETA: They do stay in place well, but I know if I wore them with a swimsuit I'd be incredibly nervous - probably too paranoid to even have fun.

I agree with Elle, the best way whould be if the swimsuit has an insert in the cup.

subwolley · Kate Spade

Hmm...I don't know if this has an insert slot in the top or not. This is from Jcrew.

I guess I'll have to look around more.

I've never used them but I think your best bet would be to try and find a padded bikini top -- unless you are just planning to lie on the beach (as opposed to swimming, being active, etc.) these seem very risky.

Hi laides! I think I found something. They are made by nubra. I have one nubra and it's awesome. I don't know why I didn't think of looking at their website again. It's been awhile since summer I guess.

Anyway, these are pretty thin and have an adhesive on the back. It's specifically made for things like bikinis.

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

Those seem like they would would better since they have an adhesive. It's worth a shot.
