I’ve always dreaded trying on swimsuits. There’s something about those harsh dressing room lights that’s particularly unforgiving when you’re standing there in a bikini. Buying swimsuits online, then trying them on in the comfort of your home—in front of your favorite mirror that never lies to you—is the only way to go, in my opinion. But don’t just order anything that catches your eye, especially if you’re looking for something specific, like tummy control swimsuits. This compressive fabric (if that’s what you’re looking for!) can help smooth out your silhouette and provide more comfort and support.

Best Style and Material for a Swimsuit With Tummy Control
Having pounded the (virtual) pavement to identify the best swimsuits under the sun, I discovered that tummy control — essentially, shapewear built into the midsection of your suit — comes in a few different forms.
If you’re looking for as much support as you can get, a one-piece swimsuit is probably best, as it’ll have a compression panel in front but also hold you in all around your core. But you’re not limited to one-pieces. Some brands expertly incorporate tummy control into the high-waisted bottoms of their bikinis and tankinis, too.
Swimsuits are typically a nylon- or polyester-spandex blend, and tummy control panels often make the material feel a little thicker and more supportive while incorporating mesh for breathability.
Here are 15 tummy control swimsuits that are making a splash as we speak.
