It’s summer once again! Thinking of hitting the beach but have a few concerns before taking off your sarong at the beach? That’s perfectly normal. There are a number of common insecurities every woman has, like stretch marks and cellulites, but the most common hindrance from going all out is that pesky belly flab.
Relax, you’re not the only one who has this problem. Having a bit of fluff shouldn’t hinder you from feeling confident and beautiful, because you are! To accentuate your body, try these swimsuits that will make you forget about your muffin top. Read on to see which of these swimsuit styles suit you perfectly!
1. The Trusty Tankini
Recommended swimwear: Naked Sun’s Magnolia Blush
Price: PhP2,150
The top is also a sweetheart tube apart from having a ruffled design.

The tankini is the no-fail way to hide the excess tummy fats while still being able to rock a stunning swimsuit. It has more material for the top (hence, tankini) while still having a bikini bottom, creating the perfect mixture of sassy and conservative. Naked Sun ’s Magnolia Blush has a slight edge against other tankini options because of its ruffled design, which better helps you to disguise the belly.
2. The High-Waisted Bikini
Recommended swimwear: Beyond The Beach’s Joey High Waist bottoms
Price: PhP900 for the bottoms
The swimsuit comes in four color options: Electric Blue, Berry, Tangerine, and Stripes.

The classic bikini is perhaps the most common swimwear option for both swimming and photo shoots. However, if you are looking to hide a bit of that muffin top, then opting for high-waisted bikinis is the way to go. It gives off a feminine, classic vibe while still being able to show off other parts of your physique. The design is also reminiscent of the timeless pin-up girl aesthetic that never really goes out of style. Beyond The Beach’s Joey High Waist bottoms are available in blue or peach.
3. Fun Patterned Prints
Recommended swimwear: Neon Island x ZALORA Two-piece swimsuit
Price: PhP 2,295

What better way to make a statement while concealing tummy fat than with bold and fun prints? A stylish print is the perfect camouflage for your tummy and the perfect opportunity to show off your personal style as well. And with the endless patterns and designs to choose from, you’ll surely come across an option that connects to your taste. One brand to try is Neon Island . All of their prints are handmade by the founders themselves, including the Two-Piece pictured above, which, aside from having a fun and bold print, also boasts of a high-waisted bottom to hide your belly.
4. The Daring Frilled Plunge One-Piece
Recommended swimwear: Negritas’ Karamiah
Price: PhP2,500
Negritas’ Karamiah in Merlot comes in extra small, small, medium, and large.

Though it may be a bit more risqué than other options, the frilled plunge one-piece is a great style to hide the unwanted belly while showing off other parts of your body such as your cleavage and your back. The deep neckline also makes you look taller and leaner. All of these elements can be found in Negritas’ Karamiah in Merlot. Aside from having a plunging neckline, it also comes with a braided belt cinching the waist and further giving the illusion of a smaller waistline. The piece comes in noir (black), burgundy, white, and merlot.
5. Back to Black
Recommended swimwear: The AMAYA by Float Swimwear
Price: PhP3,650
The swimsuit is made out of 82% Nylon and 18% Spandex.
