Find the Right Swimsuit

From Cindy Alpers, for About.com

Teeny bikini

A perfectly toned and proportioned body looks great in a teeny bikini.

Do you know how beautiful you are right now? Enjoy your day in the sun!

Some moms-to-be choose to go with a regular bikini because they don’t have to worry about the middle part getting in the way. However, as the day draws closer, you will probably want a one-piece. Pick one that you can let out and adjust as your tummy and hips expand. You will probably want some support in the bust as well.

Avoid buying a cheapy swimsuit. You will be better off with one or two higher quality swimsuits that are sympathetic to your condition and will last the season.

The Perfect Body

If you've got it go for it! Let's face it; you work hard to keep your body in perfect shape.

A tiny, designer bikini looks good on so few people, you should consider it your solemn duty to beautify the beach and make a few heads turn. Spend the extra money on a hip, new, creation and look like a million dollars.

Find it BEFORE you go

Find your suit BEFORE you go on vacation. Prices at resorts can be astronomical and you don't want to spend all of your time looking for a suit that fits, especially in a foreign country that considers a size 3 "average."

Make sure you take your measurements before you start shopping and use those, not size numbers to find your best fit. Choose your tops and bottoms separately so that you can create a custom tailored suit. What ever you do, don't just sit there on the deck or sand. Get out there and enjoy your tropical adventure!
