Swim Lake By George

     First of all, when buying a swimsuit, make sure that the fabric has been treated for chlorine resistance. You may access this information from either the manufacturer of your swimsuit or the store salesperson. Also, try shopping at a swimwear boutique or other small store to ensure that you are speaking with knowledgeable salespeople.

     Secondly, when you do go swimming in your new swimsuit, shower immediately after exiting the pool. While lounging on the poolside in your swimsuit is certainly a relaxing experience, the chlorine from the pool water will very quickly impregnate the fabric in the heat of the sun. Try showering first and then lounging to dry off. This action will also serve the added benefit of quickly removing chlorine that could irritate your skin and hair.

     If you have a small or flat chest, you’re in luck. Gone are the days of only big breasted women being regarded as curvy or sexy. Today, women with small breasts or none at all are just as alluring. If you have a small chest, then pick out a top for your chest size. Don’t try to wear a top that a bigger breasted woman would wear. It will look very tacky and show that you’re trying too hard. Try a ruched style or anything with ruffles or layers. Those types will make your bust look fuller if that’s what you are looking for. Look for a top with adjustable straps so you can have some flexibility. Yet, if you’re just looking to cover up your chest and not give the appearance of increasing it, then going with a triangle top style is the “in thing” that will show off your small bust.

     Busty girls need to pay attention too. Just because you are well endowed doesn’t mean it’s all gravy. Many top heavy girls make the mistake of choosing swimming tops that are too small so there is a bunch of extra stuff hanging out on the sides, making them look quite desperate. First thing is to be honest about your breast size. Trying to fit a DD into a B is not sexy. It looks quite “cheap” and takes away the “class” when wearing a nice bikini. Try to avoid strapless tops because they can make your bust look unleveled and saggy. Halter tops are good for busty girls, allowing for more bust support for if you’re playing volleyball and don’t want anything falling out. Make sure you use a top with an underwire so your breasts won’t appear to sag. Continue Reading
