Can we just be honest for a second? We all have (or have had) some sort of body issue. Something about our body that we prefer to not accentuate. For me, and many women, it is our midsection. Add the fact that you’ll be in a swimsuit, and it gets too real. On this recent trip to San Juan, I wore some really cute midsection minimizing swimsuits that I felt very comfortable in.
Tribal Print High Waist Bikini. I wanted to push myself out of the one piece comfort zone, so I opted for this high waisted bikini. What made this one midsection friendly was that is was high waisted, the tassels on the bikini top cover the waist, and the back strap for the top was wide. I was impressed that the top actually was big enough to provide full coverage – it was actually a little too big. Purchase here.
Black Lace-Up Side One Piece. This swimsuit from Victoria’s Secret was one of my favorites. I loved that most everything was covered with just a little skin showing in the right places. The lace up accent on the side hip area was just perfect for me. The back was mostly out, so there was some side roll exposed, but I was okay with that.
Monochrome Print with Black Sides One Piece. I was so excited about this bathing suit when I tried it on. Then as I was taking it off, I broke the back strap. So this one didn’t make it on the trip, but it would’ve been perfect to disguise the love handles.
Basic Black One Piece. Black is sliming and so this basic black one piece is a keeper. I’ve had this swimsuit for YEARS and it just works. It covers everything so it is perfect if you are more conservative with showing skin. You can even jazz it up with a body chain.
Bonus! Kimono Beach Cover Up. A cover up will make any swimsuit work for you. I loved this one because of the beautiful print. I felt more comfortable moving about through the resort with this cover up on as a headed to the beach or pool. Honestly, this kimono style cover up is so cute I would wear it with jeans and a tank top or maxi dress. Purchase here.
While I’m looking to work on my midsection this year, I know I want to continue to travel and not feel some type of way about how I look in a swimsuit. These options worked for me, and I hope you found this helpful in selecting a swimsuit for you.
Love the bathing suit reviews!
Thanks!
You look fantastic! Love the colors of the first swimsuit ♥ The scenery is so beautiful and you look so chill just lounging around. Makes me want to plan a trip ASAP 🙂
I really like the black one piece outfit you have one, and l think l would love the monochrome suit. Definitely my kind of swim suit.
These are cute options. Too bad the black and white one did not make it on the trip. I am in the market for some new swimsuits so this post was right on time.
I’m a sucker for bold color. The tribal print was really cute and the fringe made it even better. I want this for myself.
I love that these are figure enhancing and stylish. Love this post
I love that first one. Very cute!
They all looked great on you! I love the tribal print with the fringe and the little black number from Victoria’s Secret. The fringe is everything. A cute cover-up is a vacation essential.
I need to hide my midsection x2! You look gorgeous girl. Love the swimsuit.
You look fab! Loving all of the prints and styles!
Yasssss! These are super cute! I got a bathing suit with fringe last year, but it was plain, I need this colorful one for the summer!
I see you had a ball in SJ! I love the fringe colorful swimsuit!
I like the suits you’ve show. I have a hard time finding a good swimsuit for myself because I’m petite, but I still have a belly from when I had my twins.
Looks like you really enjoyed your vacation. I am on the hunt to find a cute bathing suit. I’m tired of the one I have now.
