Okay, it's summer, and I have to go swimming some time, of course. My onlny problem is that I hate the way I look in a bathing suit and I need ideas of how to cover up a little more.

The problem is, I have some stretch marks on the insides of my thighs, which makes me really scared if people see them. It's not that I'm overweight, but I have stretch marks. No clue why.

Also, I don't like my stomach to show all that much, but I don't want a one-piece.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do?

Have you tried the streach-mark removal stuff?
I'm pretty sure you can buy it at your local drug store.
As for the stomach not showing-- try a tankini. If you don't know what that is, google it. I'm too lazy to describe it here. :)

Use those cute boy swim shorts[Girls wear them too] and wear a tankini over it if you're bothered. Tankinis are like tank tops.

Try some cocoa butter.. people say that it helps fade stretch marks. Have you lost weight or anything, or grew? You can get stretch marks that way too!

I used to hate buying bathing suits.. but I found that I love string bikinis b/c you can adjust them.. and then they look more flattering and not too tight like some. I would definitely recommend a tankini if you don't want your stomach showing though.. there are some really cute backless tankinis if you want something not TOO covered up. Boy short bottoms are a great idea.. they are cute and comfy and I always find more of these that fit well than the wider strapped bikini bottoms.. I either like boy shorts or the tie string kind.

Good luck!! There are lots of places with great swimsuits.. check out department stores, places like Old Navy, Aeropostale, American Eagle.. I know Hollister doesn't have any boy shorts since I work there.. or tankinis.. but maybe they'll get some this summer!!
