Girlawhirl – like every woman she knows – is keenly aware of the best and worst parts of her body. But truth be told, that doesn't make bathing suit season and shopping for a bathing suit any less painful. But with so much of her shopping done online these days, this season she completely avoided the dreaded department-store-dressing-room debacle and had what she liked shipped straight to her door. A Super Pal stopped by with a stash of suits she too had ordered and they made a bit of a party out of it. See what they found, for all body types…
• Bathing suits are expensive, so Girlawhirl's always excited to find one that's actually two! With reversible options she's always got plenty of choices. There are even reversible tankinis with a shelf bra hidden between the layers of fabric!
