I don't know what size to order! I feel like I am a medium, anywhere between a 6-10 depending on the brand. Should I order a 12? Everything I have read size to order a size up with swimwear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/searching-for-swimsuit-bottom-that-doesnt-give-muffin-top-not-low-rise#post-1670674 Sat, 31 May 2014 16:39:38 +0000 Mamaof2 1670674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: oh sorry!!!

How does it fit with the band folded down? Do you have to wear it up to avoid the muffin top, or does folded down work too? </p> <p>@lilteacherbee: I need your review, too!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/searching-for-swimsuit-bottom-that-doesnt-give-muffin-top-not-low-rise#post-1654665 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:49:06 +0000 Sammyfab 1654665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Yes, I do have them!! They aren't dangerously low rise and I actually prefer a little lower because the higher the bottoms, the more they dig into the softer areas. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/searching-for-swimsuit-bottom-that-doesnt-give-muffin-top-not-low-rise#post-1654012 Fri, 23 May 2014 00:45:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1654012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: awesome--let me know!

Here they are. I have the pretty ditsy and the red gingham. They look lower in the pics than they are on me - im 5'7 and they all come up above my hipbones.

I loathe high-waisted bottoms and granny brief-looking bottoms . . . I don't care how old you are, they make everyone (and yes, that includes you, Taylor Swift!)--with rare exception!- look older and/or heavier because the lines hit at the widest part of the leg/thigh (the same is true of most skirted bottoms, too!) and bisect the body at the tummy, visually breaking up the body and making it appear less proportionate (and making the wearer seem as if they have stumpy legs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/searching-for-swimsuit-bottom-that-doesnt-give-muffin-top-not-low-rise#post-1650740 Thu, 22 May 2014 06:54:51 +0000 Mamaof2 1650740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: @Rainbow Sprinkles: I bought the Hapari one last year and loved it - I have awful muffin top but this lays soooo nicely and you have ZERO!!!!</p> <p>I will check my size tonight - I remember I ordered one size and it was too small and had to size up - I am a 6-8 - I think I got a large but will check tonight!</p> <p>I got their tankini top too and its very well made! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/searching-for-swimsuit-bottom-that-doesnt-give-muffin-top-not-low-rise#post-1650661 Thu, 22 May 2014 05:35:58 +0000 blackbird 1650661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rainbow sprinkles, amazon has free shipping and returns!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/searching-for-swimsuit-bottom-that-doesnt-give-muffin-top-not-low-rise#post-1650632 Thu, 22 May 2014 03:50:06 +0000 lilteacherbee 1650632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Right?? Well I read all the reviews on the different colors trying to figure out sizing.
