It's that time of the year when everybody's showing some skin and their beach-ready body. But what if you didn't have the time to workout (because kids!) or you really can't flaunt six-pack abs in a two-piece bikini (because baby pouch!).
Here's our guide in choosing that perfect-for-the-summer swimsuit to address very specific mommy concerns.
For moms who have a C-section scar

Maillots are great for CS moms because you can easily hide your scar especially if you’ve got a vertical cut. But it doesn’t have to be unsexy! You can opt for one with cutouts on the sides—to show off a little more skin—or a deep neckline to flaunt your décolettage.
For moms who are breastfeeding

A zip-up one-piece gives mommas easy nursing access (just zip down and feed!) while also providing ample coverage. Choose one with built-in pads.
For moms who have big breasts

"Dark colors, especially black, can make you look smaller—even up top. Opt for a high or halter-neck style instead of a plunging neckline, and go for thick (not thin!) straps. A venus cut or one-strap style can be flattering since it gives great support while allowing you to bare some skin.
For moms who have large arms or thighs

If you’re conscious about your arms, a long-sleeved rash guard or body suit can help you cover up. To flatter a fuller thigh, steer clear of high-cut legs and go for those that provide a little more coverage for your bum. Boyleg bikini bottoms work!
For moms who still have a baby pouch

Camouflage your baby pouch with fun prints or shirring on the belly area. Color-blocking can help, too. Choose a suit with a darker-colored bottom for a slimming effect. Avoid whites and other light colors.
