I’m only a size 10 but bigger than other girls at the beach – I finally found a cute bikini that passes the ‘jump test’
THERE’S nothing worse than spending your entire day at the beach worrying about potential nip slips.
An avid surfer has shared her latest swimwear finds with her followers.
In her video, Sarah (@sarahinyellow) explained that most bikinis aren’t designed for her size 10 figure.
“Ever since I started surfing I’ve noticed that I am bigger than the other girls in the water,” the TikToker told her viewers.
“I’m constantly seeing these teeny tiny super lean girls in their adorable bikinis catching waves and they’ll just look like the ultimate surfer babes.
“Because my body is bigger than theirs, it just hasn’t been possible for me to find a bikini that I can wear in the water without completely falling out of it or being uncomfortable on my board.”
Sarah, who works as a body image coach, explained that wearing long-sleeved surf shirts damaged her confidence.
“I can’t help but feel like the reason that I can’t look as cute and carefree is because my body is too big,” she said.
After finding swim looks that not only fit her body but flatter it, Sarah discussed her new outlook as she modeled some of the bikinis.
“This is the first time that I’ve ever seen surf bikinis that come in my size, much less designed for a body like mine,” she said.
She jumped up and down to test the support and coverage of each bikini top.
“I don’t have to worry about having a nip slip when I’m just trying to ride a wave and I can still look cute,” she explained.
Sarah posed in a variety of the pastel colors available and in both the long-sleeve and classic styles.
“They actually come in cute colors not just the solid black or the cringe patterns that bigger sizes always seem to be offered in,” she told her audience.
“It feels so good to find clothing that honors my body instead of making me feel like I need to lose weight or change in order to just do an activity that I love.
“Overall, a 10 out of 10, such a win for curvy girls that surf.”
Her followers shared their thoughts on the swimwear in the comments section.
“You’re an ultimate surfer babe for even surfing,” wrote one supportive viewer.
“I did a surf lesson and the girls I was with had no fat on their bodies. I was the only one who was bigger and I focused too much on that and not enough on enjoying it,” said another TikTok user.
“I don’t surf but I’m a diver. I always used my old Shock Absorber sports bras instead of a bikini top,” commented a third person.
