Swimsuits for Petite Figures

"Swimsuits often don't fit me." -- Fong Wa Chung, 27

Fong Wa's petite figure makes finding the right suit a challenge. "The bottoms are usually too big," she says. We showed her why a string bikini works best: She can cinch the side ties for a snug fit. "I never would have picked this suit myself, but it's perfect for my body," Fong Wa says.

On Fong Wa: Aquarella Rainbow top, $58, bottom, $58, gonebananasbeachwear.com

Being able to adjust the bottom is nice, but I hate string bikinis. I'm an active, petite person and love swimming, jumping into water, crawling up and down rocks and boats etc. String bikinis ALWAYS move and slide, so when jumping or diving into they literally roll up or down exposing everything. It's annoying and can be embarrassing at times. Isn't there any cute sporty cuts that'll work for us??

All you really are doing is showing the same bikini in different prints. Surely there is more than one style bikini for petites!
