A saggy bikini bottom is not only uncomfortable; it also makes you look lie you are wearing a full diaper. Instead of spending time by the pool lounging or swimming you will be more focused on keeping your swimsuit from falling off or worrying if anyone is noticing the ill-fit. Not to worry here are a few tips on how to fix saggy swimsuit bottoms.
Get some matching straps
This will entail finding a fabric that matches your bikini and attaching two pieces on each side of the bikini. This will help you transform it into a tie-in bikini which will help it stay in place. They also add a degree of uniqueness to your bikini design.
Add an elastic band to the waist
In this case, you will need to create a lining along the swimsuit bottom waistband for installing an elastic band. Then you need to cut the band a few inches shorter than your waistline to make it snug. But make sure it is not too tight as this will make it uncomfortable or even see through.

Add drawstrings to the waist
Like the elastic band above you need to create the waistband lining space. You can then install the drawstrings to tie the bottoms in place. To make it easier use a safety pin attached to the end of the drawstring. This option works best for swim sorts.
Sew-in the waist to make it fit firmer
This option is the easiest bikini bottom hacks but not the best. You simply fold in a section of the waist and sew it to fit your waist size. If sewn too tight the stitches might come undone at an inconvenient timing. It also allows you to be able to use your swimsuit bottoms should you pack on a few pounds at a later date.
Scrunch it up
This entails scrunching the bikini to create a vertical ruffle design on the bikini bottom. This will help to fix saggy bath suit bottoms.
Resize it
You will need some tailoring skills to carry out this task. As it requires cutting the bottoms and sewing the pieces back together. If not done correctly, you may end up throwing away the swimsuit bottom.

Also, ensure that you get your body measurements right and you leave room for expansion on hot days and when you indulge at a pool party. You do not want to be feeling like a suffocating whale at a pool party.
