While plus size swimwear is no doubt first and foremost in your mind, don’t forget to pick up the little odds and ends that you’ll be reaching for while you’re poolside (or beachside, if you’re really lucky!). These essentials can keep you safe, comfortable and happy while you’re enjoying the sun and water.
First, don’t forget to pack sunscreen. Try to find something with an SPF of 30+ or more, and don’t forget to look for sweat- and waterproof varieties. Sunscreen is available in foam, cream, and spray form, so there’s no excuse not to protect your skin from nasty and dangerous sunburns!
You’ll also need a beach towel or two! Find colorful, bold patterns that really show off your flirtatious side.
A plus size cover-up is a must if you plan on wearing your suit before or after you hit the pool or the waves. Dress “up” in style with a flashy cover-up paired with a cute pair of flip-flops or wedges!
Sunglasses and a hat go along nicely with that coating of sunscreen…
Don’t forget a fully charge cell phone, so you can keep in touch with loved ones! A digital music player or a netbook or laptop is always a nice form of entertainment to bring along as well.
