These Moms Talking About Swimsuits Will Have You Nodding So Hard Your Head Will Fall Off

Swimsuit season is here, and that means women can be heard collectively screaming “WTF! ” in fitting rooms around the globe. Two such women – the hilarious Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley of the IMomSoHard video series – are brave enough to give us a peek inside their attempts to try on the season’s “hottest” swimwear.

I Swimsuit Season So Hard

When I’m at the beach, I’m there to lifeguard, build sandcastles, supply treats, re-stand the umbrella every dang time it blows over, spray sunscreen, drink a beer, look for seashells, warm-up wet kiddos, force people to eat sandwiches and drink juice, blow up water-wings, and keep my son from publicly urinating.

Basically, I’ve got a really fun job to do and I don’t have time to let a piece of lycra throw me off my game. #imomsohard #baywatch #swimsuit #cutouts #doubledecker #brave #moat #onelife #liveit #momlife #reallife #mombod #beach

Their viral video begins with the two moms in stereotypical male Summer attire – oversize t-shirts and loose-fitting trunk shorts that let you “move around, no nipples coming out. ” Oh, sign us all up.

But, no, just as quickly, the women swap those practical duds for what they’re expected to wear while navigating a beach day with kids. As Smedley, decked out in a ruffled teal monokini, points out, “Hmmm, I wonder if there’s a way to make your butt look too big, to really accentuate your love handles and make your bust feel inadequate? ”

As hilarious as the video is, what perhaps hit a nerve among viewers (it’s been watched more than five million times and shared more than 76,000 times) is how ridiculous they make these unrealistic beauty standards really seem.

Hensley, in a moment of clarity, makes the point abundantly clear: “I want my daughter to love her life and to love herself and she’s not gonna do it because I tell her to, she’s gonna do it because I teach her to. ”

And if that doesn’t make you nod your head so hard that it up and falls off your body, here’s her kicker: “I really want a revenge body, but I’ll take a f*cking attitude. ”

Preach, mamas.
