Do You Like How You Look in a Bathing Suit?

The worst thing about summer, in our book? Having to squeeze into last year's bathing suit.

Turns out, we're not alone. Almost half (45 percent) of women have purchased a swimsuit that claims to trim them down, especially their tummies, according to a survey of 1,009 women conducted for ShopSmart, USA Today reports.

About half of women say it's OK to wear a bikini at any age; the other half say that at 47, you're too old for the two-piece look.

Forty-five percent of women say they have a hard time finding a bathing suit that fits properly, and 42 percent have regretted at least one swimsuit purchase.

But here's the good news: Only 18 percent of women don't like how they look in a suit. Forty percent of women are impartial, and 36 percent are OK with it.

Lucky you in the 36 percent!

    I like the way I look... If you don't like how you look then what do you do the rest of the time? I mean seriously, how do you walk around the rest of the time and be ok with that but you aren't ok with it in a nathing suit? This is the thing, you should be proud of what you got and if someone doesn't like it.... F U C K them.... :)) Just saying

    I am happy with the way I look in a bikini, I just like to be tanned all the time but it is winter here and I will not go to a solarium anymore.

    Well, I must say that Kent's photo makes me feel good about myself, but I still don't plan to lay-out in the sun at the beach this summer.

    There's always the concern that some animal-rights group will come to try to roll me back into the surf. ;)

    Yes, I am completely confident. I own only bikinis. I don't think it is purposely though, I just tend to buy them over whole pieces.

    I don't look bad at all in a bathing suit despite what I have been through. I actually have a lot of scars that resulted in a number of surgeries and those surgeries not only saved my life, they also tell a story and make me who I am. I am also 42 years old and I keep myself in good shape and I try my best to take care of myself. Even though I do not say that I look hot because of my age and scars, I am confident in myself .
