Summer is here and the sweltering heat has accompanied it. But that good old sun has given us the best excuse to hit the communal waters, and what does that mean? Swimsuit time!

Yeah, we know for many women this particular water accessory conjures up thoughts of diets, painful crunches and possibly regret that you didn't start that workout routine sooner. So, because every woman has her flaws and to satisfy our swimsuit fancy, Flair decided to make it an issue for real women. We've all heard it a million times but we meant it and here they are, realististic suits for every woman.
