Gear up with the best bikini swimwear

While the bikini in today's times may look more like a sexy fashion must-have used to flaunt and showcase one's body, it must be remembered that the bikini was originally designed to be swim wear. Dating back to the 1400s, the first bikini swimsuits (it wasn't called bikini then) were actually two-piece types of clothing that women wore for athletic purposes and offered a very large coverage.

Of course, the bikini has evolved much since then, decreasing more and more in size and becoming more and more versatile in style and cut. Today, so many bikinis are used in non-swimming activities like in the modeling industry and in beauty pageants or swimsuit competitions, and one might wonder, what is the best bikini to buy and wear when you want to use it as an actual swimwear? More specifically, what is the best type and style of bikini swimwear for your body?

Women looking for the best and hottest bikini swimsuits that fit them need to consider a lot of factors like the cut, design, and fabric. So many types of bikini swimsuits exist in the market, like the string bikini, thong bikini, Tankini, Monokini, under wire tops, skirted bottoms, wraps, side tie bottoms, halter tops, bandeau tops, and full scoop bottoms. While choosing gorgeous swimsuits may be fun, the tough part is finding one that actually enhances the flattering parts of your body and hides the not so excellent ones.

If you want to buy bikini swimwear to actually swim, you must wear one that should hold up fine for swimming and sunbathing. Surely you've heard horror stories of women coming out of the pool or the beach in topless conditions. This primarily happens if the fit of the bikini swimsuit top is not right. A bikini swimsuit top that fits too loosely will obviously break free easily.

If you have large breasts, you must get a bikini swimwear with a top that gives a lot of support. Swimming entails a lot of movement, and you must make sure your breasts are well protected. Bikini swimsuits with a halter-top or under wire cups work best. Bikini swimsuits with extra straps on the back also add support and decrease the risk of accidental exposures. On the other hand, if you are a little less on top but want to have that enhancing disguise, wear bikini swimsuits with padding stitched in at the top. Not only does this volumizes the breasts, it also adds more support to your sensitive bust area.

While no one is banning you from wearing skimpy micro bikinis like G-strings and T-backs while swimming, you have to be aware that the smaller your bikini swimwear is, the more prone you are to unwanted foreign objects in the water entering your body. In this case, you might have to decide on whether looking gorgeous and causing men to fall is important enough to risk your body. If you really want to get the best of both worlds, find a bikini swimwear offering enough coverage and a lot of support yet comes in the color and style that most flatters you.
