1. A Closed off One-Piece
You don't have to show off your entire stomach in a bikini. You can buy a one-piece instead, so that your torso is covered. That way, you won't feel self-conscious about your tummy, and you won't have to worry about getting sunburn all over either. It's much easier to apply SPF when only half of your body is exposed.
2. A Cutout One-Piece
If you want to wear a one-piece, but are worried it won't look sexy enough, you can find plenty of cute cutout swimsuits. Some of them will expose the sides of your stomach, some will expose your hips, and some will expose different areas of your chest. You can choose whichever style shows off your good traits and hides your "flaws."
3. A Bathing Suit Dress
If you're not a fan of showing off your thighs, you can buy a swimsuit that looks like a dress (with bottoms underneath it, of course). That way, you won't have to worry about your bikini line during your whole day at the beach. Even if you missed a spot shaving, no one will be able to see it beneath your dress.
4. A Tankini
Here's the perfect type of swimsuit for all you ladies who are afraid of having a wardrobe malfunction. This top won't fall off as easily as a regular bikini top would. There's more holding the outfit together than a few tiny strings, so you don't have to worry about the waves ripping your top off of you.

6. Some Boy Shorts
This is another outfit that's perfect for women who don't want to obsess over shaving. You can purchase boy shorts that are almost as long as the regular shorts you'd wear around town, so you won't have to shave any further up your legs than you usually do. Plus, you won't have to worry about your bathing suit shifting and exposing your booty, because you have enough fabric on to stay covered.
7. A Strapless Top
If you're daring, you can wear a strapless bathing suit top. Just remember how difficult it can be to keep a strapless dress in place. The stakes are higher when you're at the beach, because if your top slips down, you won't have a bra on to save yourself from embarrassment.
You don't have to wear a teeny bikini in order to look attractive. There are dozens of other styles you can try that are just as fabulous, and will make you feel much more comfortable. What type of bathing suit are you going to wear to the beach this summer?
