Swimsuits and Fats that Ruin Everything I am a pear shape and shopping for a swimsuit. I found some nice looking swim shorts (cute but not too showy) and I wanted to see how swim shorts might look on other women my shape because not everything is flattering on my particular shape. A search for swimwear on a pear body type will give me WAY too many results about obese women trying to hide their fat with "tummy-hiding tricks" that I do not need: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Bonus It's like a pear shaped body somehow means this instead of the fact that I have a sub-30"rib measurement and wide hips! I am a human and fats are doing their hardest to associate words describing me with the obese. I find it offensive. Fats ruin EVERYTHING, including swimsuit shopping.
