1. Ignore the Other Eyes That You Think Are Staring at You
Okay, you may think there are a thousand eyes on you as you enter the pool area or the beach wearing your teeny bikini. But guess what, this is usually all in your head. Most people couldn't care less what bikini you are wearing, so stop feeling self conscious. Do not be intimidated, but walk with confidence. Usually, if and when people are staring at you, it is because they are in awe, not disgust. Keep your head up and be confident in your bikini. Confidence will make you look even more beautiful! So embrace yourself!
2. Wear the Bikini That is Right for Your Curves
If you have a larger bust you may find a strapless bikini top to be a nightmare, so avoid this and find the bikini that fits you and your curves. You can go to a department store or a bathing suit store to find the bathing wear that will fit you like a glove. It is okay if you have to pay a little more for a well fitted bikini because you can have this for years. I have some great bikinis that I have had for 7 years or more and I still get compliments. Bring a friend that can give you their honest opinion so you walk out with the right bikini for your body.
Frequently asked questions
3. Make Sure to Drink Plenty of Water
To eliminate bloating and avoid the bikini bulge, make sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. To add a natural diuretic to your water, squeeze a slice of lemon in each glass. This will not only make you look leaner but also feel better about your body. So rock your bikini with confidence!
4. Make Sure You Rock the Cardio Exercises
To sculpt your body and increase your confidence, make sure you integrate cardio exercises like walking, running, or biking to burn mega calories and get your body bikini ready! Aim to exercise with cardio workouts 4-6 days per week. If you are just starting out, begin with just 1-2 days a week.
5. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
We can all list something we may not like about our body, but guess what? All that causes are insecurities, and being insecure is definitely not sexy. Stop comparing yourself to the airbrushed celebrity on the magazine cover. You are beautiful because you are yourself. So love your body and kick all the negative thoughts to the curb. Be your own cheerleader and love your bikini body!
6. Treat Your Body with the Love It Deserves
Eat healthy with fruits, vegetables and whole grains and make sure you exercise. By treating your body with the love it deserves, you can defy obesity genetics if this runs in your family, and you will be more confident in your bikini!
7. Wear Your Bikini with Confidence
Forget about the few pounds you wanted to lose but didn’t, forget about how insecure you were about your butt or your chest and embrace yourself for who you are. Wear your bikini with confidence and walk with your head up and strong posture! I am sure you look amazing. Years from now you will look at pictures of yourself in your bikini and be in awe of just how amazing you look!
Now that you know the ways to wear your bikini with confidence, you better get shopping or searching in your own closet for your bikini. Will you wear a teeny bikini or a more modest two piece? Whatever you do, wear your bikini with confidence!

Emily: I'm just now reading this article! Everyone says I have a beautiful body, but I feel like whenever I wear a bikini I get so, idk unconfident? Lol... But reading this article, really made me think about how I should love my body, and do everything in my power to keep it healthy! And that nobody is gonna judge - or at least they shouldn't- ! So thank you for making this article, hope to see more like this! :)
Lucy: ..there's a pic of Justin timberlake holding a sign "real men like big booty" as part of the campaign for women to squat.
Jose: EN MI MURO TENGO UNA GRAN XCANTIDAD DE PACIENTES MUJERES QUE CON SEGURIDAD LES GUSTARAN SUS TEMAS GRACIAS
Lucy: I can vouch for black (its slimming colour) fold bikini bottoms from Panache on their ebay shop. But for bikini tops, it's better to try it on first.
Deeja: At some point, you have to do what you want. I've women size 16 in bikinis. And they looked confident and no one was critical. Take a leap of faith and feel good
kaitlyn:
Jasmine: This really helps! :) I'm lopsided and just bought a cheap bikini but was too scared to wear it
Adriana: Very nice article! Cardio won't sculpt muscles all over though, for instance, biking might give you great legs, but it won't sculpt triceps, etc.
Alletta: Have fun in the sun!! But really, a well fitting bikini makes the worlds difference, although I wish I could wear gorgeous one pieces. They never fit my cup size!!
Jessica: Thank you for making my day. Until I read this. Now I have more confidence in myself.
