Swimsuits for Curvy Women

Swimsuit season is upon us, folks. For some of you, it’s already here. This can be a time where, as a woman, you may feel self-conscious about your body, for what ever reason. Well, girlfriend (yep, I’m playing the girlfriend card), there is no need. There are so many swimsuits out now that complement any shape, size, and style preference.

When choosing a bathing suit, as yourself these questions: (1) Do I have enough support; (2) Do I feel comfortable; (3) Can I go to the beach now. Well, maybe that last question is the longing of my own heart. The beach is my happy place.

Here are a few different kinds to get your gears going.

Wanna Look Like You’ve Lost 5-10 lbs? (For Women)

Courtesy of Snugabell.com

If you are curious about how to look like you’ve lost 5-10 lbs immediately (depending on when you’re reading this), you’ve come to the right place. Some of you may know what I’m going to talk about already and if you do, I hope that you’ve rectified your situation already. If not, keep reading.

A bra. Not just any bra. A bra that is YOUR size.

Most women are wearing the incorrect sized causing them to look frumpy, dumpy, and any other adjective that signifies all that is unattractive. Don’t beat yourself up though. There is a very easy solution to this problem. Get measured. It costs you absolutely nothing to do so. If someone tried to charge you, tell them to kick rocks. If you are a more voluptuous gal, head to Lane Bryant and they will hook you up. (Side Note: You don’t have to be plus size to wear a size F. You just have to get measured to find out what you need). Once you get measured and get those ladies into the right situation, you will look much slimmer and shapely.

If you would rather measure your boobies yourself at home, you can find out how to do so here.

I promise you, once you get those ladies locked and loaded, your life will never be the same.
