What's with all the bikinis looking like incontinence pants?!

I am searching for bikinis ready for this years holiday abroad and nearly every nice print I see is only available in massive high waisted granny pants style bottoms. They may be in fashion but look hideous even on the 5"10 size 6 model with long legs, they won't do anything for my short stumpy legs!

And how do you get a tan if half your torso is covered?

Do they look good on anyone?!

I am so glad to see these! I am a short size 8 but hate my wobbly belly so anything that covers that up is great for me.

Yes, where are you lookign! Skimpy bikini bottoms look rubbish on my CS scar post-child belly overhang so I am all about the Giant Knickers.

I agree. I'm scratching my head at these parachutes.
They go from giant granny to so skimpy I'd be showing my flaps!
Where is the happy medium?
Enough to cover my fanjo but not my nipples at the same time thanks.

Size 8 but stretch marks here and very happy with the big pant style bikinis! Don't be mean about them, they might go away! Grin

I like them too, I don't have to choose whether to position them over or under my love handles.
