Do you prefer swim wear with control?

[ Edited ]

Even young 20's with perfect weight can have a little movement when they walk.  As women, we all have padding from hormones. With as much as swim suits reveal, which really, they're pretty much a "body stocking", I prefer a little firming.

I like swimsuits with the built-in bra but that's it.

 

The more layers, pieces, or shirring added for control, the hotter I feel in the swimsuit - especially if it's a humid day.

Yes, some control and a lot of bust support.  LOL

I just wish they'd build them with a decent real bra.  I don't need a piece of elastic; I need a bra.  That like trying to restrain an elephant with a rubber band.

Yes! and while I understand that we all want to cover our guts and bumps, I feel like the designers forget that swimsuits get wet - and regardless of the layers, they still will show your guts and lumps, if they don't have some control built in.  Know what I mean?   like the tiered swimsuits are a drag once you actually go swimming and then get out - I feel wet for forever.  I opt now for just a 1 piece and say, forget it to what others think of my body.  Oh, well!

It's not a preference, it's a requirement.  I got some junk in my trunk.  However. young women with great bodies don't want it. they like a little jiggle when they walk on the beach or sround the pool.
