Shape FX

Could there possibly be a more humbling experience for a woman than buying a swimsuit? I think not. Especially if said woman is a woman who is as the French say, of a certain age.
In her wry book about women, aging and vanity, “I Feel Bad About My Neck,” writer Nora Ephron says, “If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini and don’t take it off until you’re 34.” She offers these instructions in the confiding, busybody tone that comes so entertainingly to her. At 34, she says, continue for nine more years to show off, and then it’s over. She’s right.
Without resorting to a Burquini, a full body suit designed for Muslim women, what’s a woman to do? How does one find a swimsuit that is kind to those of us who now sag a bit here and have a roll or two there?
Fortunately, I have discovered the answer! Shape fx! Swimsuits that are “designed to make the body you have look like the body you want!” Yes! You can shop by figure type or – and this works for me – by target zone.
These suits feature hidden comfortable power mesh that actually flattens your tumtum. I love the floral sculpted maillot and I chose the Slim tummy target zone. That same cute suit shows up when I click on suits that enhance and support the bust. And with a Shape fx coupon on Coupon Cactus I can get an additional 30% off any order plus 3% cash back. Shape fx is the best way to look great for the summer!
