I too am in the same boat.  Saggy thighs  - upcoming beach vacation.  I plan to wear the modest two piece suits that I wore for water arobics but put a long "beautiful" surong (sp) on when I lounge...hey atleast I now have a waste to tie a wrap around.  Yep saggy thighs...I think of them as wounds from a war that I AM WINNING!  And by the way....have you looked at some of the bodys around the pool and on the beach lately...there are some interesting body shapes out there and they not pretty or rock hard bodies...LOVE YOU SOME YOU!

Thanks, y'all, for the encouragement to change my perspective of what others think of me.  My husband has been preaching the same thing to me forever.  I like the thought of that saggy skin is the proof that the war is being won!

I am just throwing this out there and I know it's the same for all and some say exercise doesn't help the skin but this is my experience. I think muscle toning will help fill it in. When I walked regularly my thighs skin was looking so much better and less cellulite. The "cedar fever" kicked in and I am allergic to cedar. I have been down for about four months now with bad allergies and asthma. This last month my legs are looking bad again with "hangy" skin and cellulite. Anyway, if your not exercising regularly you might give it a try... what would it hurt?

I actually just started strength training again this week.  I had my InBody testing done last week and i had lost more muscle than I thought.  So, I have committed to doing weights 3 times a week.  Most of my muscle loss was in my legs, so I am hoping that it will help! 
You are right, there is nothing wrong with trying!!!

I ended up with a skirted tankini.  After seemingly endless searching I even found two tops that hoisted and contained the girls.  :)  And one is even pretty good at taming my upper tummy roll skin.  Tankini skirts can be found all over the place in various lengths.  I had a harder time with the tops.  These are the tops- skirts I found at Kohl's and Lands End Inlet.

And you can always look here too http://www.junonia.com/thumb.htm?tl=1&ldid=543&sdid=567&ddl=&RPP=30&Search=&CP=1 for lots of full coverage stuff like aquatards, bike shorts, capris, rashguards.

I ended up going to a swimwear boutique which was both nerve wracking (in anticipation) and fun.  I had an appt and they brought all the suits to me and put them all back.  They only carried medium to high end suits but it was worth it.  Maybe you could find one in your area.  Good luck!

Try to accept the new you and not worry too much what others think.
Fat thighs really aren't that attractive either.
My thighs are very saggy and wobbly but that's the price I pay for ruining my body through over eating.
Try toning and tanning (if you are light skinned) to help it look a bit better.
Jergen's Natural Glow tanning moisturizer looks pretty natural.

Read the drying brushing info after googling it.
Very interesting, think I'll try it!
Heads up: 
To tighten skin, you will have to keep a regular dry brushing routine for at least 5 months

COOL! 
I'm going to get some of these.
Swim shorts that go to the knee!
They have swim tops that go to the elbows too for those saggy upper arms.
