Bikini bottoms for a horrible tummy?

Going away in July but starting the search early!

I'm a short 14 with a horrible, tyre style overhang. Is there any hope I can find something semi flattering?

I bought a feelin girl high waisted bikini from amazon which was very cheap, I used the navy bottoms with a top I already had as the top wasn’t a great fit but the bottoms were good quality and worked well.

I looked everywhere for a bikini and tried every style last year, the best I came up with was a 'tankini' which I bought but kind of regretted as I may as well wear a swim costume/all-in-one anyway. In the end I just wore my swim costume on holiday. Most women were wearing a bikini on the beach for sure, but I don't care, I feel better in a swim costume and I feel too exposed in a bikini. I have terrible loose skin on my tummy. I am a size 8 to 10, but the loose skin looks awful.

Sorry, I've not answered your question very well but I know I tried all styles and nothing worked for me.

Thanks. I have bikini and Tankini tops already (from bravissimo as I'm big busted)

I found a lovely bikini from Boux avenue high waisted bottoms and normal underwire top

I'm the same size as you and last year I got two pairs of bottoms from Sainsbury's TU. They were amazing quality and nice fabric; one high waisted bikini bottoms, firm material and a wide band at the top that holds everything in, the second were skirted but nice, slightly a-line skirt at hip level and very flattering. I got black and used them with Panache tops I already had.

High waisted bikini bottoms

How about something like these?

I think they might be quite effective at disguising the tummy you're conscious of.

I like the roll-top bikini bottoms as you can make them higher or lower and I don't think they cut into the tummy area as much. Next have loads of different colours online.

i like shorts style. i've just ordered some more from swimwear 365 as i wear them out as I swim a lot and prefer bikini to swimmer

The retro style high waisted bikinis on Amazon are miracle workers! I have just bought 3 and honestly, I can’t believe how much they flatter by tummy (destroyed by c sections)
I am a 10-12 but with big boobs and got the size xl (12-14) and they fit perfectly

I hope this pic has worked, this is one of the ones I have
