I don't usually shop at Walmart but this was recommended and I figured why not try it? I get so many compliments. It's also really easy and comfortable chasing after our toddler. This is the only suit I've ever had that stays put perfectly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109612 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 22:20:15 +0000 sunny 2109612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: I think that print (vintage vacation) is super cute!

The two piece is super cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109481 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 19:06:35 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2109481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want to go the high-waisted two piece route, I think something like this would be super flattering.</p> <p>In my experience, you have to be super careful with the high-waisted bottoms because if they are too structured or are too fitted at the top, they can create a mushroom effect and make matters worse. I think these ones would be great because they allow you to adjust them based on where your natural waistline falls (which is so crucial!) See how they fit on the model...super cute!<br /> <a href="http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=1753_8359_567&#038;bundleCatId=cat7270027&#038;catId=cat7280001" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=1753_8359_567&#038;bundleCatId=cat7270027&#038;catId=cat7280001</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=0752_8509_567&#038;bundleCatId=cat7270027&#038;catId=cat7280001" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=0752_8509_567&#038;bundleCatId=cat7270027&#038;catId=cat7280001</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109479 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 19:03:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2109479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about this one piece?</p> <p><a href="http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=0751_8598_890&#038;catId=cat6890012&#038;bundleCatId=cat7240025" rel="nofollow">http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?productId=0751_8598_890&#038;catId=cat6890012&#038;bundleCatId=cat7240025</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109477 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 19:00:04 +0000 Orchid 2109477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the miracle suits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109475 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 18:57:26 +0000 Reese 2109475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: that's really nice!

I felt like a 2 piece highlighted my stomach more, as others have said. This is the suit I went with - it's got a lot of spanx type material so it holds everything in, and in place! </p> [attach=1754/15/nla1rt.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109457 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 18:12:24 +0000 Ra 2109457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh.

I got it for a family trip to Hawaii so my nephews could not pull down a bikini in the pool. It's imortant to wear lots of sunscreen though. I got weird lines on my stomach one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109389 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 16:07:05 +0000 Smurfette 2109389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @lawbee11: I think it brings more attention. I understand what you are going through. We leave the 26th for vacation and the two women we are going with are way skinnier then me. So even though I have lost 17lbs, and still have more to lose, all my confidence I have gained is going out the window. Bathing suits suck!</p> <p>Word of advice: don't try them on at Target! They are made for 15 yr old skinny minis! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-waisted-bikinis#post-2109375 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 15:47:55 +0000 lawbee11 2109375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't actually own one so take this with a grain of salt, but I think they tend to accentuate problem areas on people who aren't very thin (which is why I don't have one!). I think a tankini with a string bottom is the way to go. I'm also not usually a fan of one-pieces because I feel like they look sort of mom-ish, but I have this one and it's flattering and sexy. </p> <p><a href="http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/robin-piccone-penelope-crochet-overlay-one-piece-swimsuit/3240353" rel="nofollow">http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/robin-piccone-penelope-crochet-overlay-one-piece-swimsuit/3240353</a></p> <p>[attach=1395/15/nl9trv.350x537.image.jpg] </p>
