If you are a woman with tummy imperfections, it doesn't have to be difficult to look good at the beach or the backyard pool.  You don't have to resort to old-fashioned bathing suits that are out of style to conceal bumps, bulges and excess weight.  With a tummy control swimsuit you can be comfortable and look stylish and youthful.

Tummy control swimwear comes in many styles and one excellent choice is the tankini.  The style of the tank provides a long, lean look and easily hides a less than perfect stomach.  The tankini is not only very fashionable, but it can also be found in a large variety of colors and patterns.  You can mix and match the tops with different  bikini bottoms  and create a style that makes it easy to look your very best.

Another option is a suit that includes a built-in control panel.  If your preference is a one-piece suit, the panel will give you just the right amount of control to look smooth and sleek.  The newer sytles of these suits are modern and attractive, unlike the one-piece suits of the past.  And, they are available in plenty of solid colors and prints.

Two other types of swimwear to consider if your figure imperfections include other areas are the shortini and the skirtini.  Both of these styles are youthful and fashionable and contain a little extra fabric, which may be just what you are looking for.

It is important to make sure your suit is made of the right material.  Slimming bathing suits of any style are better when they are made of spandex or Lycra, or a combination of both.  These materials provide a moderate amount of control while at the same time make the body look leaner.  Suits made of these materials are also comfortable to wear.

Some women  feel that they can never wear a bikini however, if you only need a little bit of help hiding the tummy area, you might find that you are happy with a bikini that includes a fishnet or similar netting material between the top and bottom pieces of the suit.  This allows you to have the great look of a bikini while concealing your tummy area at the same time.
