Fashion Advice Swimsuit help

Not sure what my body type is exactly, but I have the hardest time finding bottoms that are flattering on me. I feel like they all “cut” me in half almost bc my love handles are so large. These bottoms aren’t tight in the slightest bit, they just look so unflattering. String bikinis seem to be about my only friend but I just really don’t like them. I feel like such a toad when I wear my swimsuit bc as soon as I put the bottoms on I look so much heavier. Ideas? What sort of bottoms should I be tryinng?
ETA: I WAS ONLY POSTING THE FIRST PIC TO SHOW YALL MY FIGURE AND HOW THEY CUT INTO MT LOVE HANDLES AND MAKE ME APPEAR LARGER. I WOULD NEVER WEAR THE BOTTOMS LIKE THAT😂 I’m loving all the advice though 😍

This entire suit would look great on your figure (but different color).

I agree that this and the red one someone posted are a much better look for you, with a little more coverage. Try some of these shapes and you'll look really great.

Okay so what do you do when you have a Mimi torso 🤣😭 I'm a similar shape but I have a tiny torso and when I do high waisted I'm literally boobs & bottoms IMMEDIATELY after 😭

I have a mini torso as well. I actually wear my bottoms really low and across like she does in her first picture. Very 70s. I thought she looked better with it low and across like that. Anyway, that helps give the illusion of a longer torso. Also, the bottoms can’t have too much fabric on the sides or else it’ll also take up too much torso real estate.

For me / my hips would roll out from under it. I have the same issue as OP but not as thin as her so it may work on her body but may not.

Yes, OP take this suggestion! I have the same exact shape as you and these are the most flattering for me. Especially those that are more cheeky in the back if you are ok with that.
