 FAQs

What does a tummy-control swimsuit do?

Similar to shapewear, a tummy control swimsuit will smooth out any lumps or bumps and hold everything in place, while your sunbathing, swimming or just taking a stroll along the beach. If you are someone who feels they need some extra support in their swimwear, then this is a great option for you.

There are also high-waisted bikini bottoms and tankini options to choose from if you would rather have extra coverage and support in a two-piece swimsuit instead of a one-piece swimsuit.  

 

What kind of swimsuit is slimming?

The most popular choice here is a tummy-control one-piece swimsuit. It is also recommended to go for darker colours, as monochromatic darker colours have an overall slimming effect. Swimsuits with ruffled or ruching design around the midsection can also help offer a more slimming effect and flattering silhouette.

 

Is it better to size up or down in swimsuits?

A well-fitted swimsuit is more likely to offer more effective tummy control, always make sure to check the recommended size guidelines and that the swimsuits made from high-quality materials that offer a good stretch. As this will provide better support and a more comfortable fit.
