Amazon
Promising review:"This bathing suit is beautiful. I struggled so much to find a suit that fit me and hid my bottom. This suit checked all the boxes. It has tummy control without making you feel like you can't breathe. It's light and comfortable. I did not even have to wear a cover-up. My mom saw it and ordered it in a different color.

Promising review:"Gorgeous and versatile! I was finally able to be comfortable at the beach and comfortable walking around town afterward while on vacation in the Caribbean. Dries fairly quickly! Does not excessively weigh you down when wet. Sand washes off easily. The turban stays on!

Promising review:"Love love love this suit! It's comfortable, looks cute, and actually covers your butt instead of trying to climb up it. It has soft cups, but if you aren't very busty, it doesn't matter because the ruffle covers you up." — CB
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 14 styles).

The legs are cut just high enough, and the bottoms reach my belly button. The material is soft and stretchy, and it's lined on the inside, so not see-through!!" — gchart

Promising review:"OBSESSED! I cannot say enough good things about Wild Isles! I bought this suit on a whim, and OH MY GOSH, it is incredible. I honestly don't think I've ever felt comfortable or sexy in a swimsuit, but this one did the impossible! It is amazing quality, sexy, but still modest. It holds the girls in and feels like I could jump around and do flips without the dreaded 'nip slip.' Wild Isles, you guys totally know what you are doing!" — Madeline

18. A swim top you can wear in a variety of ways, excellent for switching up your style without breaking the bank.
Promising review:"This is the best fitting thing I've ever purchased! Very sexy without worry that I'll fall out! This suit top holds up my boobs and fits better than some bras I have. Highly recommended and would definitely encourage anyone to purchase!!" — A. Spencer

Promising review:"No more compromise! I have never been happier with a swimsuit top. It is incredibly supportive (wave tested!) without being constraining. The underwire is completely comfortable and discreet. The colors are fun and bright! I absolutely recommend it to anyone who has a hard time finding something that is both supportive and cute. I've never ordered a swimsuit online before, but I went out on a limb based on the reviews and was not disappointed!" — K. Healy
Get it from Amazon for $47.95+ (available in sizes D–F and 28 styles).
20. A bikini set featuring a one-shoulder top and high-waisted bottoms that won't give off Tarzan vibes (or at least that's what my husband calls every single one-shouldered item I own).
Promising review:"I really like this bathing suit. It's well-made, thick, and very soft. The bottom does not slip and slide, but it is on the cheekier side. Because it's high-waisted, it accentuates me in all the right places. I would recommend this bathing suit; it's my favorite one I've ordered from Amazon. Just bought one in another color." — peyton
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 33 styles).
21. And a plunging one-piece made with eco-processed fabric with SPF 50+ sun protection — show a little skin without the fear of burning it! Win-win.
