Did you know that three out of five women would rather have a Pap smear every day for a week than wear a triangle top bikini in public? Probably not, because I made that up, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Even if you are totally cool displaying swaths of skin to the sun and your fellow man -- comfort and freedom of movement aren't hallmarks of itsy-bitsy two-pieces. (Just try diving into a strong wave if you don't believe us.)

Happily, for the practical and modest among us, the swimsuit styles that are hot this summer let us brave the waves without the fear of Nipplegate 2.0. Semi-thong bottoms have been replaced by high-waist briefs, and teeny-weeny string bikinis have been ousted by flounce and crop tops, rash guards and wetsuit-inspired tanks. These high-end suits stand out at the pool and beach, are as stylish as all get-out, and just so happen to work for ladies who don't want their boobs and butt cheeks all over the place.
