What swimsuit is best for tummy control?
What does a tummy control swimsuit do?
Similar to how SPANX and SKIMS works, a tummy control swimsuit will smooth everything out and keep it in place whether you’re swimming, sunbathing or strolling along the beach/pool. If you’re someone who wants to feel supported in their swimwear, then they’re definitely for you.
While retro high-waisted bikini bottom/bikini brief styles are spot on for those who still wish to tan at least some of their tummy, its the one-piece swimsuits that are our favourite choice when it comes to feeling ultra confident and secure. Amazon’s black swimsuit with sheer panel and powermesh has a hidden under-the-midriff-area that will upgrade any beachside lewk, and Marks & Spencer and John Lewis take the cake with their brilliant array of slimming tummy-control swimsuits options.
