As swimsuit season rolls around, two hilarious moms are here to empathize with our struggles. In a side-splitting new video, they portray the many challenges of finding a flattering bathing suit—it’s as if they’re right there with us in the dressing room.
Meet Sarah Thompson and Laura Jenkins, the comedic duo behind the popular Facebook page MomsWhoLaugh. Their latest video perfectly captures the absurdity surrounding women’s swimwear. They kick things off by showcasing “what men get to wear at the beach,” with both women clad in comfy board shorts and relaxed t-shirts. They poke fun at the practicality of men’s beach attire, highlighting how easy it is to bend down without any wardrobe malfunctions. “You can move freely, and nothing’s popping out,” Laura quips. “Everything stays put!”
Can you imagine hitting the beach without the fear of accidentally exposing half of your chest while reaching for snacks?
“I have zero confidence in a swimsuit,” Sarah admits, “but that won’t stop me from building a sandcastle.” She jokes that a few cocktails can help ease those insecurities, but she still struggles with her post-baby body. “I’m twelve pounds heavier than before my daughter was born, and she’s four now. It’s no longer just baby weight—it’s just weight.” We totally relate.
The pair treats us to a fashion show featuring swimsuits that would leave most moms scratching their heads, as they seem designed for lounging rather than actual swimming. Sarah models a black one-piece with an odd spiderweb pattern, exclaiming, “What’s with the cut-outs? Isn’t the point to keep everything in? It looks like you’re pressing something against a tennis racket!”
Laura isn’t impressed with her ruffled monokini either. “Is there a way to make your butt look even bigger while emphasizing love handles and downplaying your bust?” she jokes. She also shows off a swimsuit that gives her “four complete butt cheeks” while Sarah continues to lament her spiderweb suit. “I could tell just by the hanger it was a mistake. It had schematics for putting it on,” she laughs.
After trying on several ridiculous suits, Sarah sums it up perfectly: “You know what’s really appealing? Joy. That’s what matters.” And she’s spot on—our kids and partners care more about having fun than how we look in our swimsuits.
In the video’s conclusion, the moms don practical swimwear and cover-ups that they realistically wear to the beach. “This is real life. This is how I show up at the beach. And my kids think I’m pretty awesome. Because I am awesome at the beach,” Sarah says. She emphasizes the importance of modeling positive self-image for her daughter. “I want my daughter to love herself, and she won’t just because I tell her to. She’ll learn it from watching me.”
Her closing thought? “I’d love a revenge body, but I’ll settle for a ‘whatever’ attitude.” We couldn’t agree more!
