Don’t get us wrong, we’re pretty sure you’d be totally hot from bellybutton to underboobs. But everywhere else, things just have no other option but to be a trainwreck, right?

On the plus side, maybe these suits have the patented Spanx pee hole. Sure would make peeing at/in the pool waaaaay easier.
