We have been patiently waiting for summer so we can dive into cool beach waters, lounge poolside and enjoy a sun-soaked season.
But for some of us, inevitable insecurities pop out, and some added security and confidence will never go astray.
Shaping and tummy-controlling swimwear could be the answer to getting you back out on the surf so you can focus on what matters- which is certainly not your tummy.
While by no means necessary, having a swimsuit that makes you feel your very best is invaluable, and a pair of swimmers that can give you that boost of confidence is a worthy investment.
Below are some of our favourite tummy control and shaping swimsuits for you to peruse.
