The Perfect Tummy Control Swimsuits

Shopping for a swimsuit doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Whether you're planning a trip to the beach or just want to soak in some rays by the pool, you'll want to invest in a swimsuit that flaunts your best assets and conceals those you'd rather not show off.

Finding the appropriate type of swimsuit to conceal a large belly is simply a matter of choosing one that offers suitable coverage, a flattering fit and the right details to accentuate other features.

Tummy control swimsuits are designed to conceal stomach imperfections. Besides being a great solution for women who are self-conscious about their figures, they also make a dip in the pool just a bit more comfortable. After all, if you look great, you'll feel great too, and that type of confidence is necessary in an environment where the dress code involves plenty of skin.

Control Panels

A swimsuit with a control panel is an ideal choice for women whose stomachs are trouble spots.

A control panel serves the following purposes:

• Slims the midsection, thereby giving the illusion of a flatter stomach
• Gently but firmly provides complete support to the area, eliminating unsightly bulges in the process
• Shifts the focus of attention to other parts of the body, such as the hips, shoulders or bust

Appropriate Swimsuits

These days, the selection is so diverse that it can actually be difficult settling on just one swimsuit. Make your job a little bit easier by choosing the type of swimsuit you are interested in first. Once you've done so, your only dilemma will be choosing a design you like!

Several types of swimsuits are considered appropriate for specific body types. Women who wish to conceal a belly should look at the following.

Tankinis

These two-piece suits feature a long top that extends to the end of the torso. The bottom is a pair of regular briefs. This style is especially suitable for anyone wishing to conceal the stomach – it covers the area completely, features a tummy control panel and streamlines the bottom half of the body for a smooth, sleek shape.

Skirtinis

Similar to the tankini, the skirtini features a skirted bottom with a bikini underneath. It is an excellent style solution for anyone whose concerns include not just the stomach, but also the hips, upper legs and bottom. The tankini-style top typically features a tummy control panel, while the bikini bottom may offer a support panel that slims the lower half.

Shortinis

By now, it's fairly easy to differentiate one "-ini" from another. The figure-flattering shortini set includes a tank top and a pair of baggy shorts attached to bikini bottoms. This is an ideal option for the woman who feels self-conscious in a swimsuit. It offers exceptional comfort, and it easily conceals all trouble spots.

Surplice Swimsuits

Women who would rather wear a basic swimsuit will love the surplice swimsuit. It's practically made for the woman who wants to hide her belly. Surplice suits feature a wrap-style bodice, and most also include tummy control panels.

Other Features to Look For

A great tummy-concealing swimsuit might also include one or more of the following features:

• Shirring across the midriff that adds a slightly textured look that discreetly conceals tummy bulges
• High-waist briefs that add extra comfort and support
• High content of Lycra and/or Spandex, both naturally slimming materials that offer greater control when used in larger quantities
• Color blocking, which can have a slimming effect

What to Avoid

Stay away from teeny bikinis, completely solid colors and anything that doesn't feature support for the stomach area. If you love the look of a bikini, consider wearing a bikini top with a sexy sarong wrapped around the bottom. This will provide moderate belly coverage without sacrificing style.
