Most women dread selecting a bathing suit. Between the mirrors, the lights and the pale winter skin, it is not as enjoyable as it should be. One key to making it less painful is to know what kind of bathing suit you want before you go. If what you want is an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie string bikini, follow these simple steps and you'll be a bathing beauty.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Select a style of string bikini. There are some with more coverage in the back, and some that go to the extreme, like a Brazilian Bikini, which has a string thong in the back.

Step2

Pick your favorite color or design. The quantity of colors out there now is overwhelming and it would be a good idea to select quite a few colors to try on. You might find that you think you look best in blue, but really look best in green or black.

Step3

Try them all on. Even if you have a stack of ten bikinis in your hand, you should try them all on to find the one that not only fits the best, but looks the best on you. Make sure the suit fits properly and you feel confident wearing it. A string bikini has less fabric than a regular bathing suit and you need to feel comfortable showing that much skin.

Step4

Order a string bikini online. If you need a special size or if you need a different size on top and bottom, the best place to get your suit is from an online retailer. Even though you can't try them on before buying, most retailers have a flexible return policy.
