Readers Q&A - Tummy Support

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone knew of swimwear which offered tummy support. I have had 2 very big babies and my tummy is not what it used to be. I’d love to be able to wear something other than shorts and a t-shirt to go swimming this summer.
TIA
Nat

Hi Nat

This is a question that we get asked quite a lot. So we have put together a few points to keep in mind when buying your swimwear.

Avoid purchasing any swimwear with horizontal stripes that will make the tummy area look even larger. Look for vertical lines that give the appearance of a slimmer waistline.

Avoid buying a tankini. Many women believe because tankinis are longer than a regular bikini top it will cover the stomach; oh contraire. You will find that these tops began to rise exposing a hanging tummy.

So what should you be looking for I hear you ask?

To hide the belly bulge consider buying swimwear in dark colors or with a print to camouflage the tummy. There are also many swimsuits now that have tummy control, look for these and make sure they contain spandex or lycra.

As for brands to look out for we would advise everyone to take a look at the Magicsuit Studs halter mio.
