Many
women are a little shakey about feeling comfortable wearing bikini swimwear.
I sometimes have the same temporary phobias, too—but then I go
to the beach and I notice that nobody is perfect. As a matter of fact
(though you are unlikely to see them at your local pool or at the beach),
even swimsuit models in the magazines and on TV have been air brushed
here and there.
Bikini swimwear is definintely a hotter item than regular swimsuits
these days, judging by the selections of bikini swimwear in most stores.
Most women would rather wear a two piece than a one-piece as you get
more tan and can look sexy doing it. It's just that showing more skin
can be embarrasing if you are less than satisfied with your body shape.
Hey, that's what one-piece suits are for. You can stay with a darker
color with some tummy control if needed.
There are many types of bikinis: bandeau top, halter top, triangle
top, boy short bottom, Brazilian cut bottom, thong, g-string mini, mini,
micro and hardly anything at all. There are bikinis for pregnant woman
that use top and bottom draping to smooth the silouette. There are mastectomy
suits with insertable pad pockets.
Thong bikinis are also now very popular bikini swimwear. Thong bikinis
have a strap and just a little cloth in front and behind. The top is
usually very skimpy to match. If you are looking for goddess swimwear
and you can bring it off —the thong bikini is for you.
There is a whole industry with styles just for babies and toddlers.
Beach prints with seashells or fishes and waves are always popular.
Let's not forget the' swimwear with the prints of Disney characters
like Nemo from Finding Nemo or Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Two-piece
suits can be worn at any age although on the very young its just cute--but
not necessary. Little boys like swimwear with prints of Spiderman and
the X-Men, etc.
Larger-breasted women will want something with straps or a halter—unless
it is a very well fitted tube top. Most designers sell separates to
match your top and bottom exactly. For smaller breasted women just make
sure you buy for your breast size. Triangle tops enable you to adjust
the fit somewhat. If you want to alter your breast shape, look into
silicone gel bra enhancers which can be worn under your bathing suit
top.
