If you still like wearing bikinis, there is no reason you should not go on buying them. You can easily fine one to suit your figure, especially if you opt to buy mix and match sets.

For those who are not as toned as they would like to be shaping swimwear is a good option. These garments have additional support built into the stomach area, which has a slight flattening effect. You can also buy shape-enhancing swimwear that has features built in which distract the eye so that your bulges are no longer as visible.
