Finding flattering swimwear feels like an impossible challenge. You want something you love, but it still needs to feel comfortable and supportive of your body. Fortunately, just as every body shape is unique, so is each bikini – and every pair has its perfect match. At Nobadaddiction, we know how important it is to feel incredible in your swimwear, which is why we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to buying swimwear that flatters you.

Determine Your Shape 

How To Choose The Best Bikini Bottoms For Your Shape

There is no such thing as the perfect body, and real sexiness comes from feeling confident within yourself. Determining your body's shape helps you pick bikini bottoms that make you feel supported, sexy, and confident.

The best way to start this process is to get to know your body and your shape. Some women have an athletic shape with slim hips and a muscular tone, while others have an hourglass figure with a small waist and curvier hips and bust. There are plenty of forms in between, like pear and apple shapes – we don’t understand the fruit comparisons either. Whichever shape you feel like best describes your body, there is most certainly a bikini bottom to perfectly hug your bum.

One thing is for sure, the 2020s are all about the booty, and the Brazilian bikini bottom is one of the cheekiest styles! If you have an athletic shape with a muscular booty, then you are in luck! Brazilian bikini bottoms are the perfect pair for you. The easiest way to identify a pair of Brazilian bottoms is looking for a pair that gits slightly above the waist and shows a whole lot of cheek! Go for our Aisha, Lulan, or Most Wanted bottoms to perfectly accentuate your tight booty.

The Best Bikini Bottoms For Hourglass Shapes

Hourglass figures are defined by a fuller bust and bottom with thinner middle – think Marilyn Monroe. The bikini bottoms best suited for this shape show a little cheek while accentuating your curves in a sexy and subtle way. Most bikini bottoms are going to flatter you very well! We recommend our Nellie bottoms with a high, thick band and plenty of cheek.

The Best Swimwear For Round Shapes

If you have a round shape, you likely are wider in the bust, shoulders, and tummy and slimmer in the legs and hips. High-waisted styles are great for balancing a heavier top and adding more shape to your hips. Our Elsa bottoms highlight your bum with a high-legged, high-waisted style while adding a bit of definition to your waist.

The Bikini Bottoms You Should Wear For a Pear Shape 

How To Choose The Best Bikini Bottoms For Your Shape

Pear shapes (or spoon) are defined by hips that are wider than your upper body, just like Kim K. A mid-coverage bottom is a great way to show off your booty in a subtle way. High waisted styles help to draw the eye upward and add emphasis on your tiny upper body. Our Matilda bottoms are great for balancing out a larger bottom with a smaller top.

No Matter Your Shape, You Should Always Wear Confidence

Being sexy in a bikini or in your swimwear has very little to do with your actual shape. Letting your confidence and self-esteem shine through is way sexier than any bikini bottom. Loving your body and choosing a style that shows it off and accentuates your curves is a great way to boost your confidence and feel sexy in your suit!
