Bikini with shorts for bottoms?

Got a holiday coming up in six weeks - doing my best to diet and tone up but have had too kids so have to face the fact I have a tummy saggy bum and flabby tops of my thighs.
Anyone know any good bikini swimwear lines that do hotpant style bottoms?

Surfdome's own brand have plain bikinis with hotpant type bottoms. They aren't terribly exciting but good and cheap!

The Sienna bikini on the Bravissimo site comes with shorts.

Landsend do swim shorts with a select of different bikini tops.

I've seen some cute swim skirts, as opposed to shorts which look great and might actually work better than shorts. I am ample of thigh, and find those shorts type bottoms tend to roll up on me or emphasise it. I've been eyeing up swim skirts in curvy kate and some other brands. You can get good deals for them beans new on eBay is you find a style that you like, as they are a bit dearer than other swimwear.

I chuck quick drying board shorts over my costume.

Those hotpants type bottoms really don't suit everyone including me and they ride up your backside which is another annoyance...

Living in a hot country, the norm for my age group is to buy the top only and a matching pair of shorts/skirt. We usually don't get them as a set, you have different tops and bottoms which match. But you do get some really flattering one pieces as well. One of the stores does a magic tummy range which really does give the look of a flatter tum.

But I would never buy one online. You have to try on each one as the cuts are different and some flatter and some most certainly don't.

Yes, Lands End are good for swimwear (although not cheap). There are various styles of bottoms - traditional bikini pants, mini-skirts, shorts, and high-waisted to avoid a gap with a tankini top. Then you can mix or match with various tops.
