Bon marche- cheaper swimwear,especially for larger ladies

Katiehound

If there is a better board to put this - please move!!

I have just noticed that the only swimming costume at Bon marche which has a tummy control panel is now reduced by £3 to £12:

If like me your costumes die fast due to the chlorine this is a great buy (I would have preferred a plain black or similar but I will settle for this!!) especially if you use the codes online which I posted here:

gives you 20% discount.
I am stocking up now!! (4 cozzies have had to be binned so far this year thanks to the chlorine factor!!)

Have you thought of treating yourself to an anti chlorine swimsuit? I got a Speedo one from a sport shop, might seem expensive to start at £30 but I swim at least twice a week and a year on it's still going strong :money:
I'm not small either, size 16/18 and I have noticed that the plain ones (navy and black) are slightly cheaper!

Hadn't thought of them for swimsuits but they look great and cheap too. I am looking for one or two for my next holiday, and they look just the job for a elderly porker whose bikini days are in the past!!

Thanks for the idea but I suspect they don't make them in my size! I try to swim 3 or 4 times a week so costumes disintegrate rather fast!! (despite washing them thoroughly afterwards etc.)
