For being such a small girl, I sure have a huge ass for my size. This means come summer time and swimwear I can't fill out the tops to save my life, and then spilleth over in those tiny bottoms. Classic bikini bottoms cover the majority of my butt, but do little to keep the "quad butt" from happening. Quad butt, if you don't know, is where your underwear or swimsuit bottoms only cover the first half of your butt, leaving your cheeks to hang out of the bottom, cutting your butt in half so it looks effectively like you have 4 butt cheeks.
Enter swim shorts, which are basically just like bikini bottoms only my ass doesn't eat them so they don't look like a thong. Swim shorts also end just at the most ample part of the butt, so it cuts off all circulation and makes your legs stick out like cookie dough from the tube. Yeah, sexy. Oh, and once gravity realizes you are trying to cram your butt into material that is praying not to explode from the mass within, your butt cheeks (one at a time) will creep their way out for air. The added bonus to swim shorts- they make your butt look just like a wide shelf with a half moon coming out the bottom.
This year, I am ignoring the swim shorts, bikini bottoms (even if they come with a skirt- the cheeks are still bare and it's breezy here!) and going for yoga shorts. Hot yoga shorts in particular are a godsend for ladies with ample bottoms who still want swim suit coverage. Hot yoga shorts can come as long as mid-thigh and as short as cheeks-hangeth-out, and are lowrise and adorable, both over a swimsuit for better butt holdage, and alone. Since they are more shape-forming, the butt still holds its original shape, and the material is sweat absorbing, making it almost exactly the same material as regular swimwear.
If hot yoga shorts look too tight for your liking, then regular yoga shorts can do the trick, and can be purchased in swimsuit type material as long as knee or calf length for coverage. Sexier and more appealing than board shorts, yoga shorts can appeal to any body type and still allow a person to feel like they are wearing a swim suit. The coolest thing? You can finally wear swim shorts that hold your ass in without feeling like you have a huge pig butt! And you won't be pulling wedgies all day long!
Check out eBay or any sportswear store for yoga shorts if you want great butt coverage without having to wear a wrap or skirt with your swim suit.

Post a CommentNicely done, Abby. I wanted to tell you that I will not be around the next few days...My cousin (and friend) who is disabled and lives alone in upstate NY died suddenly of heart failure. We visited her often and she was a gentle and kind spirit, my heart is heavy. The police called me yesterday when she didn't show up for her doctor app't and they found her alone, with her dogs. I will be spending Memorial Weekend making arrangements and retrieving her dogs, trying to find homes for them. cheers
