    Promising review: "I don’t always do reviews but I understand how scary online ordering of a body-baring swimsuit can be! Lemme just tell ya: GET. THE. SUIT. I was very pleased at how well it fit and how freaking CONFIDENT I felt in it! I had an amazing time at the hot springs last weekend WITHOUT A COVER-UP and it was the best feeling! This swimsuit will make you feel sexy — guaranteed!" —Holly Schopfer

    Promising review: "Just received my bathing suit yesterday and had to immediately try it on. I love it!! I was a bit nervous about the fit because I have a really long torso and every one piece I've bought is too short. This one could be a tad longer, but still works well. This suit makes me feel sexy!" —Breeze

    Promising review: "Listen, I'm a mom of three with no toned abs. I'm so self-conscious in swimwear. (And also rarely write reviews.)

The fit was like a glove. I'm in ready to get one in every color! 😍" —Caitlin Lott

    Promising review: "This is my favorite suit in years that I’ve purchased! It’s so cute! This suit hugs those curves just right while still giving a little sexiness in the booty. I’m obsessed!" —Andira

    Promising review: "Three words: buy this swimsuit. Thick, average, thin...buy it. I am thrilled that this comes in oodles of colors/patterns because it is about to be my go-to suit for every summer from now until eternity. It is extremely light weight, double lined, has fabulous and forgiving coverage in all of the important places, and just enough cutouts to make a girl feel couture sexy but simultaneously modest. Long story short: take the leap, place the order (it fits true to size), and wear the thing. This is absolutely what you want in a one piece (especially if you're a mom). 10/10 recommend." —LAM1015

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 4–18 and in 45 styles).

    Promising review: "I love this bathing suit! I'm tall and curvy, and let me tell you this suit really makes me feel very sexy. It's hard to find a bathing suit in stores because they always turn out too short, but this fits. I can't wait to wear it out to the beach! I feel confident." —W.

    Promising review: "Wow! I did not expect this to be as great as it is! I’ve been searching for a bathing suit that’s sexy and stylish but not too revealing and this one is perfect! The quality is great! The bottoms are standard, but the top is really good quality. The support is there, the off the shoulder straps are perfect (not tight, loose enough to fall of the shoulders while still hugging your shoulders and not flopping off) I’m so impressed." —JasminA

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL, 18–22, and in 38 colors and patterns).

    15. A long-sleeve rash guard top and ruched high-waisted bottoms for anyone who loves going to the beach or pool, but prefers to protect their skin a little bit more from the sun. 

    Promising review: "This is soooooo adorable and sexy. I burn easily and would sometimes rather cover up than deal with a ton of sun block. This keeps your upper body protected from the sun while still being fashionable. I like the high waisted bottoms but also like it with some regular bikini bottoms. You could easily mix and match with different bottoms. The included bottoms are full coverage on my butt and super cute." —Jennifer German

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and 10 colors).

    16. cutout one-piece made with eco-processed fabric that has SPF 50+ sun protection — take that, sun!

    18. A ruffled one-piece so chic you'll want to throw all of your other swimsuits out and just exclusively wear this one.

    Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SWIMSUIT. Seriously. Is it slightly more exposing in the chest and butt than I am normally comfortable with? Yes - it is. BUT this swimsuit made me feel sexy as hell. The suit in general provided a great combo of comfort, stretch and support. There is a bit of side boob but it was better than the other suit I ordered and at no point did I feel as though I was falling out. I will buy this swimsuit in every color." —Amazon customer

    Get it from Amazon for $22.59+ (available in sizes 00–26 and 12 patterns).

    Promising review: "I wore this bathing suit a lot on vacation this year. This bathing suit covered up everything I wanted it to cover and I still felt sexy in it. It was lower cut on the butt so much more conservative than most bathing suits, great for water sports. The top fit great too. I loved the ruching on the front of the bottoms so it allowed for a little extra space if needed." —Jessica File

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–5XL and in 13 colors/prints).
