Description
Our high waisted tummy control bikini gives you the best of both worlds — the freedom of a two-piece with the smoothing effect of a one-piece, thanks to a high-waisted bottom that covers your tummy.
The high-rise bottom sits right at your navel, with a built-in front panel that visually flattens your stomach and defines your waist. The top comes with molded cups for shape, keeping that relaxed, breezy summer look.
Where a classic bikini leaves your whole midsection exposed, this high waisted bikini pairs 1950s-inspired styling with modern tummy-control technology. It's especially flattering on hourglass figures who want to highlight their natural waist.
Wear it to the beach, by the pool, on a cruise, or anywhere by the water — for anyone who loves the femininity of a two-piece without giving up comfort or shape.
The high-waisted bottom: how it flattens your tummy
What sets this tummy control two-piece swimsuit apart is the bottom. It rises up to your navel with a built-in front panel that smooths your lower belly and shapes your waist — just like tummy-control knickers, but designed for the water. The result: a redefined silhouette and a smoother tummy, while you keep all the freedom and breeziness of a two-piece. The 82% nylon / 18% elastane fabric dries fast and resists chlorine and UV, so the shaping effect holds up swim after swim, without losing its stretch.
High waisted bikini, push-up bikini, or one-piece: which one to choose

When to wear a high waisted tummy control bikini
