Shopping for a swimsuit has never exactly been a beloved past time. The act of heading to a fitting room, stripping down, and trying to find a swimsuit you like—nay, one you don’t hate is usually good enough—falls somewhere between getting a cavity filled and running into your ex while running errands. And it seems that every summer, swimsuits get just a little bit smaller.
The default swimsuit silhouette sits somewhere around “incredibly cheeky” right now, which is all fun and fine for most occasions. But summer comes with many booked-and-busy weekends, and if you’re going to be wearing your swimsuit around a certain subset of people—your grandma, or God forbid, your significant other’s family—you might be searching for a bathing suit to have on-hand that leaves your cheeks a little more… contained.
You don’t have to wear a swim skirt or don a cover-up all day to find a swimsuit you’re comfortable enough to be in front of your father-in-law in. These full-coverage swimsuits are still ultra-flattering, but provide a bit more material in just the right places to ensure you’re comfortable all day long—no matter who you’re seeing.
