What does a tummy control swimsuit do?

A tummy control swimsuit is designed to smooth and shape your midsection, offering a more toned appearance and a streamlined silhouette. It typically features built-in panels or lining made from stretchy, compressive materials that help shape the tummy area.

Our sculpting swimwear range also includes extra support in the form of compression fabric or mesh, which can enhance posture and give a firmer feel.

Flattering

Tummy control swimsuits are designed to flatter your body. Built-in panels or power mesh smooth the stomach and create a streamlined silhouette. Details like belts, ruching and wrap designs cinch the waist to create an hourglass look. Support-focused bust designs like underwires, padded cups or hater necks lift and shape the bust, complementing the overall fit.

Supportive

Seamless materials are discreet and soft against the skin, avoiding discomfort or irritation. Adjustable straps and secure closures provide personalised support for all-day wear. Many tummy control swimsuits are made with quick-drying, lightweight fabrics for added convenience.
