You Deserve A Better Swimsuit!
When was the last time you tried on a bathing suit and thought about how great you looked?
I’m not talking about an unrealistic dream of looking like a swimsuit model in Sports Illustrated. But I mean, when did you last put on a swimsuit and think that suit makes you look good?
I’m going to guess that for most moms, trying on swimsuits deals a hard punch to their self esteem. I know for me, there is one store in the mall that I definitely do NOT enjoy visiting. You know the one. It’s full of skimpy bikinis and lightweight one pieces that cost a bundle and do nothing but depress you.
Well, a couple of years ago, when I first put on a new Land’s End bathing suit, I realized I would NEVER enter a shopping mall bathing suit store again.
In my Land’s End bathing suit, I feel good about myself. I’m excited to go to the beach. I’m not scared to be seen swimming.
Last year, a few months after Sophia was born, Land’s End asked me to test one of their slenderizing bathing suits that was still in the research and development phase. I jumped at the opportunity.
When the suit arrived, I went to my room with the survey sheet to fill out. I pulled on the suit, looked in the mirror, and literally said to myself, “Wow. I look great!”
Now Ladies, I am far from being toned and in-shape. My flabby middle reveals how long it’s been since I was at the gym. Seriously. But this slenderizing swimsuit made me look better. My baby-bearing tummy looked smooth and dare I say ‘flat’.
Now, of course, I didn’t instantly have rock-solid abs or cellulite free thighs. But I looked my best — my bathing suit best that is. And I felt good.
That suit I tested was an early release version of the Women’s Regular Solid Enhancing V-neck SwimShape Tank Swimsuit that you see here in red. My sample was black, but if I were to choose now, I think I’d go with navy.

I like the swim suit enhancing V neck tank. I like the color, and that it could enhance a small bust line, not all of us plus sized ladies are lucky enough to be Well endowed.

I would choose the Women’s All-over Control Slender Tunic Swimsuit. The tunic provides coverage withour really being a ‘skirt.”

I really like the Women’s Regular All-over Control Solid Grecian V-neck Slender Swimsuit
in berry.
I MISS the original slendertech faux tankini. The newer ones are either cut too high or too low. I wear a size G bra so I like the coverage from the old one better. Unfortunately, all 4 of mine (2 black, 1 purple and 1 blue) are SO picked that it is pathetic!
