No one likes trying on women's bathing suits. Whether it be the judgemental lighting of the dressing room or truly questionable styles and cuts that don’t seem to look good on anyone, bathing suit shopping is my personal seventh circle of hell.
The sad truth is unless we plan to sweat inside all summer, bathing suit shopping is a discouraging but necessary annual event. This is why I lean on the experiences of other people when shopping for one. An Amazon bathing suit with 17,639 5-star reviews is certainly one that’s worth a roll of the dice.
As I discovered, the perfect women’s bathing suit does exist, and you can get it on Amazon for under $40. Allow me to introduce you to the Hilor One-Piece Bathing Suit.
When you put on this suit, a Campari spritzer immediately appears in your hand.
How to explain the Hilor One-Piece Bathing Suit? There are barely enough superlatives to describe how much I love this monokini. It’s the holy grail and LBD of bathing suits. It’s the problem-solving suit that makes everyone who wears it feel like a smoke show. I have yet to see someone who doesn’t look good in this sweet little number that is almost impossible to wear without envisioning yourself on a Sicilian summer getaway with a Campari Spritzer in hand.
This universally flattering one-piece is not only the pinnacle of comfortable bathing suits, it’s one of Amazon’s best-sellers. This Amazon bathing suit is all about the illusion, and my favorite thing about it is that it creates the illusion that I like pilates when, in reality, I like brownies.
Not only do I love the style of this suit, but it's also comfortable enough to be hammock-worthy.
Strategically placed mesh cutouts are where the magic happens. The criss-cross top creates the illusion of a longer neck, more toned shoulders, and a more robust chest than I have been naturally blessed with. A striped cutout “compression belt” along the midsection lends the appearance of a waist that’s been the benefactor of a belly-toning boot camp. A full-coverage bottom ensures this suit never slips out of place, while the slightly higher-cut thighs give the look of a gracious booty lift.
While this Amazon bathing suit is quite accomplished in the figure-flattering department, it's a $40 suit, so it's not going to last you forever. After two years of continuous wear, it's about time for me to replace mine. Thankfully, this slenderizing suit is priced at half the cost of other comparable women’s bathing suits. After two summers of non-stop compliments, not only do I plan to replace it with the exact same style, I plan to buy it in a second color.
