How to get a bikini body

Toning Timesaver: Push-Ups

To help get your body bikini-ready, “why not multitask?” suggests Peeke. “Push-ups are my No. 1 favorite because you can hit six muscles at once: biceps, triceps, deltoids, pecs, abs, and gluteals.” Start with a bent-knee push-up, and have a trainer watch once to check your form.

A one-piece with vertical stripes, ruffles, ruching, mesh panels, and/or properly positioned seams is also another great way to draw the eyes away from your tummy. When looking for the best swimsuit to hide tummy bulge a deep-v-neck or plunge style suit is a great option as they give the illusion of a longer chest.

As long as you are comfortable it doesn’t matter if you’re fat or thin and wear either a bikini or a burqa. Only your comfort matter, size doesn’t.

Wear a dark bathing suit.

Just like that classic little black dress, dark colors are the most slimming. Black and navy blue will reliably give you that thinning effect you’re looking for.

Bathing suits

For a smooth bikini fit, simplicity is always better than cutouts, metallic rings, or multiple ties. “The best for avoiding muffin-top are suits with soft or fold-over bands that sit on top of the skin, rather than digging in,” Gwyn Prentice, owner and founder of swimwear line Helen Jon, explained.

A muffin top (also muffin-top) is a slang term typically used to describe a person’s body fat that extends horizontally over the edges of the waistline of tightly fitting pants or skirts, visible when there is a gap between the upper and lower garment.

There are two easy ways you can add bust support to your swimsuit – by adding boning and/or cups. Even those of us that aren’t busty enough to require extra support can enjoy the benefits of boning and cups for they also help a swimsuit stay in place and hold its shape.

A unitard is great for those of us with thicker thighs as it elongates the body. A unitard is a one-piece swimsuit that hits above the knee. Many Waterpro swimsuits come in a color block print that features a bold print at the top and a black bottom to give a smaller appearance to your hips and thighs.

​Never wear a regular bra under your swimsuit – it will ruin it. If you must wear a bra under the suit, make sure to wear one specifically designed for it. Generally speaking, though, it’s better to save and find a better support option for your boobs and swimsuit than opting for a bra.
