These Are The Best Tummy Control Swimsuits, According To Reviewers

Promising Boden review: "I am a bikini wearer, but as I have gained weight so I thought I'd try a [one-piece] to hide the tum a bit! I am a curvy 10-12 pear-shape and 5'3", and bought the 10 regular navy. Fits spot-on and smooths what's beneath it as it's semi-structured. Doesn't squish the 'girls' too much so it still gives a shape and, personally I do not find the bones digging-in and actually am not aware of them. I would say if you are taller (and not just legs) you'd probably need the tall fit." — anonymous

If you're after an elegantly designed suit with adequate front and back coverage, look no further than this one-piece that features a supportive and comfortable cross front that comes with removable padding, and wide straps that create an open back. This suit, with its slimming waistband, is made in sizes S-5XL in 38 colors and patterns.

Promising review: "I really love this color. It looked better than I anticipated. The bathing suit was flattering and not cheaply made. I have a 36 DDD chest and I was a little reserved about wearing this because there’s never enough boob coverage, however this bathing suit fit almost perfectly. I felt supported and confident as I can be pretty body shy at times. This bathing suite is a confidence booster. I love it. I bought the black and blue one as well." — ShoeLover

Promising Shapellx reviews: "This suit is perfect! It fits like a dream and gives me confidence while laying by the pool or swimming! Holds everything in and shows lots of great cleavage!" — Marlean S.

Promising Spanx review: "I probably haven’t worn a swimsuit in 20 years but I want to visit my son in Okinawa and beaches seem to be a main activity there. I own other Spanx pants etc and so I was excited to see this swimsuit advertised. It is perfect. The length is mid-thigh, which is good. The suit is completely opaque, which is good. It is not too low in the front and covers about half of the back and all of the rear end. It does not have an underwire and yet my chest still looks good." — Mary M.

Promising Ta3 review: "I am 5’5,'' 170 pounds and very curvy/busty. After having kids, swimsuits do not do my stomach justice not to mention a suit that will contain my breasts and also support them. This swimsuit has exceeded my expectations 100x over! I was so skeptical about spending the almost $200 but I would have spent so much more for the comfort, coverage and sculpt this suit gives. Absolutely recommend to anybody looking for the perfect swimwear!" — Miranda W

Promising Amazon reviews: "I was very nervous to buy a swimsuit online. After reading the reviews I decided to buy it in solid black. I love it. It is so comfortable and super cute. I haven’t been able to get rid of my post-pregnancy belly and this swimsuit does a good job of disguising it. I just received it today and I’m back on Amazon to see if there are any other patterns or colors I like." — Shirley A.

"This is quite possibly the most flattering swimsuit I’ve ever owned. It fit and held my busty chest very comfortably. The tummy control is amazing, as that’s where I hold most of my weight. Quality material. Super cute! I ordered a second one." — Amazon customer

Promising Ta3 review: " I couldn’t believe how flattering this swimsuit is. I’m beyond obsessed. I’m 8 months postpartum and even though I’m back to my pre pregnancy size and weight my stomach isn’t what it used to be. I was looking for a swimsuit that would make me feel confident in my body again. I’m happy to say I FOUND IT!" — Dayerlyn A.

Promising Summersalt review: "This suit is incredible! It is well-made, with good materials, and is incredibly flattering. I am 5'4", 168 pounds, and still have a tummy after having my third kid. Size 8 is a perfect fit. I did not think I would be able to feel confident in a swimsuit again for quite some time... Summersalt proved me wrong! Buy this suit - you won't regret it!" — Malia S.

Promising Amazon review: "OMG I love this swimsuit! Just got it in today, tired it on and it's everything that I can look for in a swimsuit. It definitely covers up my stomach area that I don't like to show off makes me feel slim and very comfortable with my body having this swimsuit on! The material and fabric are soft and very comfortable to wear. I am a mom of two kids. This is the swimsuit to go for to hide the tummy area." — Brogan
