first time tanning
16/f. somewhat fair skinned, not too white but not too tan. im going to a workout place/tanning place to the tanning beds for my first time. i signed up for 30 days so i can go as much as i want, but like only once a day. my mom told me start off with like 5 minutes for the first few days, wear goggles..but anyone else have any tips..so i dont burn, so i get an even tan, so i dont have streaks..stuff like that? =] also, would you suggest wearing a swimming suit the first time? the people there said they will help me the first time, but it isnt like most salons, you can just walk in and sign in and go straight in by yourself. any tips are greatly appreciated!
and please, if you dont agree with tanning beds, dont answer. and dont tell me im gonna get cancer. im smart and am only doing it for a month =]

i agree with the other person, don't wear anything and you'll have no tanlines. i think you can only get streaks with a spray tan ,lol. i've been going to the tanning bed for more than a month, and i use a turbo bed (really powerful). i still don't do anymore thna 10 minutes. i started off at six. i get burned almost every time, lol. but it goes away after a day and turns into a tan. i think a tanning bed is better than Uv rays from the sun.

if you don't want tanlines/streaks at all, then don't wear anything. i go tanning in a bed and i've been in a stand up one. i don't wear anything but that's because i don't want any tan lines. and your mother is right, starting off with a lower amount of time for a few days is good, then casually rise the minutes you're in the bed for. i also wear the goggles, since you aren't too pale wearing them won't make lines or anything so don't worry about that. also, if you realize you a burning a bit the third or second day, give it atleast one day break from going in. you got a whole month, and have fun!
