Swim Solutions: Swimsuits with Shapewear

Today, you can get the best of both worlds from your swimsuit

As women, getting dressed is a deeply personal experience. Whether you’re fully loving your body or feeling somewhere in between, we can all relate to having days when getting dressed feels easy and days when it doesn't, especially when that comes to dressing for a day at the beach.

Many of the women who shop with us are looking for a swimsuit that helps them feel their best, so that day at the beach, by the pool, or in the sun being seen feels easy and enjoyable without spending the whole time second-guessing how they look.

Our swim solution to this?

One of the most loved swim solutions we can offer: a swimsuit with shapewear built right in.

Picture this: a perfectly designed one piece that looks like your favorite swimsuit, but feels like it’s quietly working in the background to support you. A swimsuit that offers a smooth, supportive fit, gently softens areas you may not be loving, and allows you to feel secure and comfortable in your own skin. 

Why?

…because finding a swimsuit that actually feels good to wear, that feels supportive and comfortable can be difficult especially when you’re wearing less than usual. Whether it’s your first time wearing a swimsuit after having a baby, navigating a changing body, or just wanting some extra support, women choose shapewear in their day to day lives for many reasons and the same is true for picking a swimsuit with shapewear built in.

So, what are some other reasons we love swimsuits built like shapewear?

1. A naturally smoother look

Swimwear with built in shapewear offers gentle support that helps everything feel a little more smooth through the tummy, hips, and waist. Some styles even go as far as being designed to provide a little extra lift and support in areas where a regular swimsuit can be less forgiving (like a little lift for your rear and smoothing that stubborn part of your upper back that other swimsuits can accentuate).

Rather than changing your shape, it just works to refine it, giving you a smoother look without the fabric bunching or constant adjusting.

2. Stay in place support

Built-in shapewear can also help your swimsuit stay put as you move throughout the day. Subtle fabric support through your midsection helps your swim suit stay comfortable and in place whether you’re swimming, playing with your kids on the beach, paddle boarding, or relaxing by the pool.

3. Thoughtful construction = better quality

Swimsuits with built in shapewear are designed with details in mind, meaning the craftsmanship is there. At Beach2Ocean, that means our swimsuits are made with dual-layered fabric, powermesh, removable soft cups, and subtle lift and support where it matters. The thoughtful design means you’re getting a quality, long lasting swimsuit you’ll feel comfortable in for seasons to come.

4. Comfort

In the past, shapewear had the reputation for feeling stiff or restrictive, but that’s not the case anymore. Today’s swimwear with built in shapewear is designed to feel soft, breathable, and stretchy, like an elevated version of your everyday swimwear.

5. Confidence without the squeeze

We know wearing a swimsuit can feel vulnerable, but it’s our hope that swimwear with shapewear can add just enough support to your pool day look that it can help make you feel secure and confident without feeling restricted, especially when walking around, swimming, or having your picture taken on vacation. 

So, what swimsuits are we shopping?
