20 Best Shapewear Swimsuits With Tummy Control

When we put slimming swimsuits to the test in the Textiles Lab, this classic style from Miraclesuit came out on top. It was loved by our testers who said it minimized their tummies and shrunk their waists and users rated it better than other slimming swimsuits they’ve tried. They also appreciated the built-in underwire for bust support, emphasizing that it provided nice lift. In our evaluations, this style stood up to elements like seawater, chlorine, sweat, UV rays and more, so you know it will last season after season, and the timeless look won't be going out of style anytime soon. If basic colors bore you, the brand offers 17 colors and prints to choose from, and while the size range is a little more limited starting at size 8, the brand does offer plus-size options up to size 24.

Sizes: 8-18 | Color variations: 17 options | Material: Nylon and Lycra spandex blend

One of the hottest swimsuits on Amazon, this one-piece from Tempt Me has more than 25,000 five-star reviews from real shoppers, and it costs a fraction of the price of other popular styles. Plus, it wowed both product experts and consumer testers in our evaluations. Every single tester, regardless of age, body type or style preference, rated it as flattering. They especially liked the ruching that hides belly bulges and the smoothing mesh in the back that prevents spillage often seen with tight-fitting bathing suits. Our testers gave it high ratings for feeling comfortable and supportive, but some did share that the leg openings felt a little too tight and wished they were cut higher for a less restrictive feel. When we assessed this suit in the Textiles Lab, the vibrant color didn't bleed, and there were no signs of wear after repeated washing.

Sizes: XXS-XL and 16-26 Plus | Color variations: 45 options | Material: Nylon and spandex blend

No matter which way you choose to style it, this swimsuit shows off some skin while still shaping the tummy. The straps can be modified to create two different looks: Thread the strap through the front for a higher neckline with a cleavage cutout (as pictured), or loop the strap through the sides for a deeper halter neckline. Ruching across the midsection creates a slimming look that online reviewers love, with one sharing that it helped her to feel beautiful in a swimsuit for the first time. While the material isn't as high-quality as other swim styles we've assessed, the suit overall is a great value for the price point. We love that, along with being versatile, the swimsuit is adjustable, so you're able to remove the padding from the cups and easily shorten or lengthen the straps to find the fit and level of coverage that works best for you.

Sizes: S-XXL and 18-20 Plus | Color variations: 36 options | Material: Chinlon and spandex blend

Our testers rated a former version of this style the "most flattering" in our tests. This newer ombre version breaks up the body with lighter colors up top and darker colors at the waist and stomach, creating a visual slimming effect. Along with the ombre coloring, the wrapped bodice design emphasizes the waist, smooths the stomach and shapes the torso. The wide straps aren't adjustable, but they do prevent the swimsuit from digging into the shoulders and offer chest support. Lands' End also carries petite, long, plus and long plus versions of the popular style, as well as options for D, DD and DDD cups to help you find the right fit. And if you're not a fan of the deep v-neck style, the brand offers other versions of this swimsuit including a sarong style for added coverage and a traditional maillot neckline. Lands' End claims the swimsuit is resistant to chlorine and sunscreen, but some online reviewers say the bold colors spot and fade after wearing the swimsuit in chlorinated water regularly.

Sizes: 6-18 with petite, long, plus, long plus and larger cup sizes | Color variations: 3 options | Material: Nylon and Lycra Xtra Life spandex blend

Not only does this affordable one-piece have a ruched midsection to hide bumps and bulges, but it also stands out for its stylish design with a low v-neck and ruffle trim. It comes in 25 colors and prints and has more than 24,000 five-star reviews on Amazon from real users who love how it shapes and flatters their bodies without looking like a typical slimming swimsuit. One reviewer shared that the combination of the style and pattern "camouflaged" her tummy and another explained that the cut of the swimsuit flattens her stomach while still emphasizing her chest and bottom. This swimsuit has removable padded cups for customizable shape and support, and the back is laced, so you can loosen or tighten it for an even better fit. Online reviewers also say the cheeky style stays in place without riding up. When we've tried swimsuits from Cupshe, we've found that the material is thinner and less durable than swimsuits from other brands, so this style may not hold up well to wear season after season, but we still think it's a great value option.

Sizes: XS-XXL | Color variations: 25 options | Material: Chinlon and spandex blend

Thanks to a long front panel for fuller coverage, a smoothing power mesh lining over the stomach, subtle shirring on each side and a v-shaped neckline, this sarong style from Swimsuits for All is designed to accentuate your waist and curves. Online reviewers rave about the comfortable shaping material and attractive design, with many sharing that they've purchased multiples of this suit in different prints and patterns — there are 15 to choose from. We appreciate details like the wide straps, built-in soft cups and an elastic underband to support the chest, but know that the straps can't be adjusted. You can choose from sizes 8 to 34, which is a more inclusive size range than other swim brands we've evaluated, and there are other variations of the style including a lace-up version and surplice design.

Sizes: 8-34 | Color variations: 15 options | Material: Nylon and spandex blend

Miraclesuit's sculpting style (literally!) slimmed more than any other suit when we measured wearers in our swimwear tests. The swimsuit is designed with compressive materials that help to shape and slim, and our testers said it had a visually slimming appearance and that they loved wearing it. Other highlights include adjustable straps to help you achieve the best fit, underwires for bust support and draping around the torso to create the look of more defined curves. Because the material is compressive, it can feel a little restrictive, but that's typical of slimming swimsuits. The brand recommends sizing up if you prefer a less snug fit, but the suit is only available in sizes 10 to 18.

Sizes: 10-18 | Color variations: 9 options | Material: Nylon and Lycra spandex blend

Ideal for someone who wants a two-piece style but would like more coverage up top, this swim set comes with a long tankini top and traditional bikini bottoms for under $40, and there are over 40 fun colors and patterns to choose from. The blouson design features gathering at the neckline, extra fabric throughout the bodice and a banded hemline to hide the stomach. Online reviewers say they love how the tankini fits their curves and rave about how confident they feel in this swimsuit set. Unfortunately, you can't choose separate sizing for the top and bottom, and some reviewers say the bottoms run tight compared to the top. It's best to size up if you wear inconsistent sizes on the top and bottom because the top's straps can be adjusted for a more secure fit.

Sizes: XXS-XXL and 18-26 Plus | Color variations: 41 options | Material: Polyester and spandex blend

If you prefer to mix and match your two-piece swimsuit, especially if you have a hard time finding sets with the right size on the top and bottom, we think this bikini bottom checks off the boxes for a flattering fit. It has a high waist for tummy coverage, a ruched front panel for a slimming appearance and a full coverage back for modesty. The bottoms are lightly lined without strong compressive material, which can feel more comfortable to wear but may not be for you if you prefer something more secure and slimming. Online reviewers love that it's available in more than 20 colors and prints to coordinate with their favorite swim tops, and they applaud the design for covering everything — front and back. Some reviewers say it runs small, while others disagree and say it runs large, so be sure to review the brand's size chart before buying.

Sizes: XS-3XL | Color variations: 21 options | Material: Polyester and spandex blend

Summersalt is an online swim brand with a huge following, and its Sidestroke style has sold out dozens of times thanks to its simple one-shoulder, striped design that looks amazing on all kinds of body types. Diagonal lines run across the bodice to create a slimming appearance, and the fabric is slightly compressive for shaping but it's not too tight or restrictive. It's available in sizes 0 through 24, and there's a long-torso option for taller folks — one analyst who is 6 feet tall says it fits perfectly. Plus, this swimsuit has thousands of five-star reviews from users who say it's "worth every penny." The swimsuit doesn't feature any padded cups or lining for modesty or support, but even our analysts with larger bust sizes say the high-quality suit feels secure and stays put. There are also tons of variations of this style, including bright color-blocked options, solid neutrals and trendy patterns with details like bow shoulders and trendy cutouts.

Sizes: 0-24 with tall options | Color variations: 14 options | Material: Polyamide and elastane blend

With a traditional sweetheart neckline and halter ties, this swimsuit has a retro flair that tens of thousands of online reviewers love. Just a few of the swimsuit's praises include "best suit ever," "it's so flattering" and "it makes me feel confident." Design details like princess seams running down the bodice and shirred material across the front emphasize an hourglass shape. A built-in bra with removable padded cups and a full lining provides coverage and support, and online reviewers say the suit stays in place, so you don't have to stress about tugging your top up or bottoms down while you're relaxing at the pool. Many reviewers love the suit so much that they buy multiple, but some have noted inconsistencies in sizing between the different colors and prints. Thanks to Amazon's return policy, you can send most styles and colors back within 30 days if it isn't the right fit.

Sizes: S-5XL | Color variations: 40 options | Material: Nylon and spandex blend

Panache offers bathing suits in UK bra sizes, with availability in band measurements of 30 to 40 and cup sizes of D through K (equivalent to US cup size O) — making it a whole lot easier for anyone who struggles to find swimwear that fits a large chest. There are tons of bikinis and other one-pieces to choose from, but this style in particular has slimming features including a lining at the tummy and subtle ruching at the sides. It also has adjustable straps, a built-in underwire and an elastic band under the bust for additional lift and support. We love the brand's bras for larger bust sizes, and this suit is of the same high quality. Some online reviewers complain that the underwire is uncomfortable, so keep that in mind if you prefer a wireless swimsuit, and they recommend paying close attention to the fit chart to ensure that you're choosing the correct cup size since UK sizing is different than US.

Sizes: UK cup sizes D-K and band sizes 30-40 | Color variations: Black and fiery red | Material: Polyamide and elastane blend with power mesh lining

To avoid tan lines and uncomfortable straps that dig in, try a strapless style. This strapless swimsuit provides support with lightly padded cups and flexible boning so you don’t need to worry about it falling down. It also has a built-in tummy panel and shirred fabric across the stomach to help slim and shape, along with a sweetheart neckline and twisted design at the bust to enhance the chest. Both online reviewers and the brand note that the swimsuit runs small, and they recommend sizing up to achieve the best, most comfortable fit. There are plenty of colors and prints to choose from, and more importantly, we love that it doesn't break the bank.

Sizes: 6-18 | Color variations: 24 options | Material: Nylon and spandex blend

One GH analyst who swears by Boden's swimwear says this style is her go-to for a flattering, slimming look. The swimsuit has flexible boning at the side seams for support, but our analyst says the suit isn't overly structured, explaining, "It holds you in without squeezing you too hard." There are lightly padded cups for modesty, a lining for a smooth look and silicone tape inside the neckline to prevent the top from sliding down. We love the banded design with strips of fabric outlining the swimsuit and defining the waistline to emphasize an hourglass shape and that the halter straps can be tightened or loosened to help you achieve a better fit. Some online reviewers have trouble finding the right size and recommend sizing up, while others say the swimsuits fit true-to-size. We always suggest reviewing the brand's size chart to determine the proper size, but Boden does offer returns if you choose the incorrect size, as long as the hygienic strips inside the swimsuit are still intact.

Sizes: 2-16/18 with long options | Color variations: 6 options | Material: Polyamide and elastane blend with polyester and elastane lining

Tempt Me has a range of two-piece sets with high waistlines, which provide added coverage and emphasize the waist for a slimming effect. This style in particular is one of the most popular sets, with more than 21,000 reviews and an average 4.3-star rating on Amazon. The halter top uses both a hook closure in the back and two adjustable straps to help you achieve a secure and proper fit. Plus, the molded cups shape the chest for push-up lift. The bottoms are ruched for tummy control and feature a high-leg cut, which creates the appearance of longer legs. Online reviewers love how this swimsuit emphasizes their natural curves while feeling super comfortable to wear. Like other affordable styles on Amazon, this one comes in lots of colors and prints for every style preference. The brand recommends hand-washing the suit to keep it in tip-top shape, and some online reviewers share that the color fades in the wash, so it requires gentler care than other styles.

Sizes: XXS-XXL and 18-22 Plus| Color variations: 41 options | Material: Nylon and spandex blend

When you want fuller coverage on the bottom but prefer to wear a traditional bikini top, opt for a swim skirt. This style from Spanx combines bikini bottoms with a skirt overlay, so you don't have the bulk of wearing two separate pieces. Inside, there's a tie that connects the bikini bottoms to the skirt to prevent it from floating up when you're in the water, which means you won't have to worry about feeling exposed. The swim skirt is designed with an on-trend textured pique fabric, plus power mesh for shaping and smoothing. The brand says the swim bottoms are high-waisted, but some online reviewers wish they were even higher waisted, sharing that they sat slightly below their natural waist. If you're looking for a top to match or prefer a one-piece style, Spanx carries plenty of other shaping swimsuits to choose from.

Sizes: XS-3X | Color variations: Black | Material: Nylon and elastane blend

Whether you're taking laps or going for a dip in the pool, this basic swimsuit from athletic brand Speedo has you covered. Although it's simple in design with no ruching or shaping panels, this suit is fully lined and made from highly compressive material that keeps everything in place. Straps that cross in the back stay put, so you don't have to worry about them slipping and sliding during your swim, and the legs have a high cut while the back remains fuller coverage for modesty. The swimsuit is made for competitive swimmers, so the all-over compressive material may feel tight, and the brand and online reviewers recommend sizing up if you prefer a looser feel. Some of the color and size options may have extended shipping times or limited availability.

Sizes: 26-40 | Color variations: 14 options | Material: Polyester and spandex blend

If you’re looking for extra armor against the sun’s harmful UV rays (besides sunscreen, of course), this long-sleeved swim top offers more coverage for your skin. Whether you’re looking to do water sports, want to avoid getting burned or just want to cover up, this affordable option is perfect for throwing on over another bathing suit. We love that the ruched design is fashionable and functional in more ways than one. Not only does the extra fabric conceal bumps and bulges, but it's also adjustable, so you're able to transform the look and fit of the rash guard by simply pulling on the side drawcords — even extending it into a mini dress. While many online reviewers appreciate the zippered neckline, sharing that it makes getting the rash guard on and off easier, some say the zipper is prone to catching on the material and that it can feel a little uncomfortable against the skin.

Sizes: XXS-4XL | Color variations: 9 options | Material: Nylon

Our experts are regularly impressed by the quality of L.L.Bean's products, and this swim dress is no exception. A swim dress is your best bet if you want to fully cover your hips and butt. This pick provides the coverage you're looking for, and thanks to its draped design, form-fitted shaping fabrics and subtle shirring at the hips and waist, it also has a slimming effect. Online reviewers say the swim dress is comfy, attractive and holds everything in place nicely. The halter strap is adjustable so you can find a good fit, and it comes in a wide range of sizes including long and plus options; however, sizing starts at a size 8, so you may not find the right fit if you're slim or petite. Along with the traditional black and bold plum hues, the swimsuit comes in fun prints if you prefer a more vibrant style.

Sizes: 8-18 as well as plus and long options | Color variations: Black and royal plum | Material: Nylon and Xtra Life spandex blend

Designed to be worn either in the pool or out for a night on the town, this versatile swimsuit from Stylest is stylish and chic. Longer sleeves and a full-coverage back lend modesty and extra protection from the sun, but you can unzip the front of the suit to reveal more skin. One Textiles Lab analyst who has tried a swimsuit from Stylest shared that the suits aren't ideal for those with longer torsos. The brand recommends sizing up if you're tall, but our analyst said even after sizing up, the suit was still a bit short. It's made with a quality compressive material that sculpts your waist, and you can pair this swimsuit with one of the brand's swim solutions, including water-safe bras and bodysuits, for even more support and shaping.

Sizes: XS-2X | Color variations: 6 options | Material: Polyamide and elastane blend
