As summer rolls in, the quest for the perfect bathing suit becomes a comical struggle for many moms. In a side-splitting new video, two relatable moms, Sarah and Lisa, capture the hilarity of swimsuit shopping and the ridiculousness that comes with it. Their witty commentary feels like a fitting room confessional for all women.
Sarah and Lisa, the dynamic duo behind the popular Facebook page “MomLifeUnfiltered,” dive right into the absurdity of swimwear. They start by comparing what men get to wear at the beach, sporting comfy board shorts and loose t-shirts. “Men have it so easy,” Lisa quips, “I mean, bending down without a wardrobe malfunction? Sign me up!” Can you imagine heading to the beach without the fear of exposing too much skin while simply reaching for a sunscreen bottle?
“I can’t say I feel confident in a swimsuit,” Sarah admits. “But hey, that’s not going to stop me from enjoying the beach.” She humorously points out that a few cocktails can help ease those body insecurities, but she’s still grappling with her post-baby figure. “I’m twelve pounds heavier than before, and it’s not even baby weight anymore—just call it life weight!”
The moms then showcase a series of absurd swimsuits, each one more ridiculous than the last. Sarah models a bizarre black one-piece with odd cutouts, exclaiming, “What’s up with these designs? Shouldn’t they be keeping everything in?” Meanwhile, Lisa’s ruffled monokini leaves her feeling like she’s sporting “four buttcheeks” instead of two. The struggle is real!
After trying on a few more impractical options, Sarah sums it up perfectly: “You know what’s truly attractive? Joy!” Because, in reality, our kids don’t care what we look like in our swimsuits; they just want us to have fun.
As they wrap up, the moms don practical swimwear and cover-ups for a day at the beach. Sarah reflects, “This is how I roll at the beach, and my kids think I’m the coolest because I’m just being me.” She emphasizes the importance of modeling self-acceptance for their daughters, saying, “I want my little girl to embrace her life, and she’ll learn that from seeing me do it.”
Her final takeaway? “Sure, I’d love a body that feels like revenge, but I’ll settle for a carefree attitude.”
