Sorry for another boob thread. I'm getting frustrated trying to find a swimsuit this year. I'm looking for a bikini top that minimizes the size of your chest.

What are your thoughts?
Why do you want to minimize the look of your breast, lady? Be proud of how you look. The beauty comes from within. A woman could have small breast and yet look so lovely by simple confidence and displays pride of her body as it is.

Well, let me go this route. Why do you want to make your breast look smaller?

However, since I am a man and do not wear what you wear I do not know the different types of bikini tops.
I have no doubt you look lovely the way you are.

Maybe it is not for me to comment on this one but I just think women that love their bodies do not see the need to try to change its looks. Those women are beautiful in my opinion.

My two cents.

You have a great day.
El Amigo

What about a one-piece halter top? I think that one-pieces often look better than tankinis, you don't end up with the top bunching up and or have a line across your stomach that can make you look wider/shorter. Also, a lot of one-pieces have more of a glam/old Hollywood look that can be cute!

I'm thinking of something like this (although don't know if this comes in the right size, but this is the style I'm thinking of):
Sunkissed Shirred Front One Piece

I seriously doubt the OP is worried about looking dumpy of short...I think the point was not having her "girls" be the center attraction when she puts her bikini on. Women who are exceptionally endowed up top can be accused of being "tawdry" or "full of herself" and I think the goal was to not attract unwanted attention and still be able to get away with wearing a bikini.

Plus, this was a post started for last bikini season if I'm not mistaken - I suspect she has already found a bathing suit since then.

Oh geez, it is old!

(but I still think that with a big chest one pieces usually look better than tankinis! Not saying they make anyone look dumpy, just that with bigger boobs having a smoother one piece will attract less attention to them)

LOL, yes it is from last year, I do have a new suit, always can use good advice though.

And you are so correct on the reasons. It's not the unwanted attention from men that bothers me. It is the reaction/very unwanted attention from women most of the time. Sometimes they try to make you feel so horrible about yourself. I know you know what I'm talking about

The bandeau style usually makes boobs look smaller, imo.

I love the beauty of 1 piece swimsuits too! I pay from $2 for nice thrift store ones to my most expensive $64 ebay Miraclesuit size 8.

It was awesome getting TYR swimsuits for $1.80 thrift each when they cost $65 at Sports Authority! I like the feel of wearing various styles and cuts and back designs of 1 piece swimsuits.

Gosh... I wish I were a HOT ALPHA CHICK!
