Every body is a beach body, but there's no shame in preferring the shaping effect of a tummy control swimsuit over a basic bathing suit. If you feel more confident in a style with built-in compression or a slimming design, there are tons of styles to choose from. Not only should a tummy control swimsuit help you to look and feel great, but most importantly, it should be comfortable to wear, and it should be able to hold up to regular use swim season after swim season.
At the Good Housekeeping Institute, we test one-piece swimsuits and two-piece bathing suits in our Textiles Lab to find the ones that live up to their slimming promises. Along with testing durability to ensure the material won't be damaged by rough surfaces like the edge of the pool, we also share the swimsuits with real testers who give us feedback about the fit and the slimming capabilities. We've even measured our testers to see if compressive bathing suits actually take inches off of their waists, hips and tummies as promised. In recent years, we've reviewed more than 1,400 data points from our lab and consumer tests and used this insight to make our picks for the best slimming swimsuits. We also researched top-rated swimsuits from popular brands that real users love.
