After having a baby 4 months ago, I still don’t have the somewhat “flat tummy” I had once upon a time ago.

I couldn’t fit my speedo swimsuit after baby #3 (I think my hips expanded or something?) and never wore bikinis before I was pregnant yet alone after I had my babies (thanks to the beautiful marks of motherhood on my tummy and for modesty reasons) 🙂

I found a “Tankini” swimsuit at Kohls recently. A tankini has a separate top and bottom and the top most often fits slightly over the bottoms (kind of like a tank top). It is a little tight fitting but loose as well.

I paid $30 for both the top and bottom together. It was 50% off at Kohls, but you can also find them at Old Navy, Victoria’s Secret, and other department stores. I feel totally comfortable in it – I don’t feel like my stomach shows through the swimsuit and it flatters my figure.

It’s the perfect swimsuit for someone who has just had a baby (or any woman for that matter).
