This is how you buy the right bikini

A well-fitting bikini does a lot for your body. We give tips to find the best bikini for your body.

Fit as many bikinis as possible
Try on as many different bikinis and bathing suits as possible. There are new models in the store every year and your body changes. You might find a new favourite.

Fit different sizes
It is important that your bikini fits properly. Please note that the material expands when wet.

Choose an adjustable bikini
Straps that you can adjust or strings that you can tie tighter are ideal. A bikini often has to be tighter than you think.

Move in the fitting room
You probably won't dance in your bikini, but it's nice if everything stays in place. So move around in the fitting room to see if everything stays put. Also bend over to see if your breasts are firmly seated in the cups.

Choose a bikini that suits you
The print of one bikini is so nice, while deep in your heart you know that the other bikini looks better on you. Don't be tempted by colours, prints and fashion trends, choose the model that flatters your body.

Don't just buy a size bigger
A size larger does not mean that your body is more covered, the bikini is simply too big. Want to cover some more skin? Then look for a model that is more opaque.

Invest in a good bikini
Especially if you have larger breasts, it is important that your bikini offers enough support. Unfortunately, that sometimes costs a little more money. But it is a good investment, also for your self-confidence.
