Choosing the perfect swimsuit has always been difficult, but nowadays they made this a trivia game (more difficult than ever). What makes it now more difficult is that many stores started categorizing women body. So you go shopping for a swimsuit, and they ask you what is your body type? Pear shaped, hourglass, apple? What???? How should I know!
Many online stores adapted this same categorization model for their swimsuit guides. Believe me, I can’t still figure this out. Remember it does not stop with apple, there are more categories (straight, oval, etc..).
I guess I am not the only one trying to win this trivia game. Maybe it is just me, but do you have this same feeling when shopping for a swimsuit?
I thought about it for awhile and decided to come up with my own guide. This is basically from my point of view, and also from going through many articles on the internet about this same topic.
So this is my ultimate guide to swimsuit shopping for real women. This guide will be divided in 3 separate publications.
This week will we cover back fat, big and flat bum. So here we go….
Back Fat:
Don’t wear any swimsuit with straps, because the straps will press into your skin and emphasize the fat lumps in your back even more. You don’t want to wear a bikini or anything that is to open in the back as it will expose all that you would like to hide. The best swimsuit to wear is a type with high backs. This will cover and smooth out all the noise in the back.

Big Butt:
If you have a big booty, string bikinis and high-cut swimsuits can be a bit too revealing and often be uncomfortable. You’ll need a suit with enough fabric to cover the area that you would like to be cover. I don’t think you would like to walk around with a wedgie. This could be very uncomfortable as you may be constantly pulling the fabric out. You should also look for skirted bottoms or surf shorts instead of skimpy styles to camouflage a big bum. Avoid light colored bottoms, horizontal stripes, string, other skimpy bikinis and swimsuits.
Flat Butts:
If you have a flat bum it is just the opposite of big. In this case you need to go for the brazilian and more ruching bikinis. These types of bikinis will create the illusion of a bigger behind. Actually showing a little is better than a full cover bottom. The bikini should be something that takes attention from the behind to the bikini. Bikini bottoms with bright colors and loud prints will be the way to go here.
