For any girl, shopping for a swimsuit is a struggle. For someone my size, it is not only an emotional challenge. It also is a challenge. Here in the Philippines, it seems most manufacturers still think people come in one size. As such, I usually am limited to shopping in stores that have export overruns, especially since these are the places that have larger sizes. However, this past summer, I discovered Sassa Swimwear.

These swimsuits come in sizes up to 3XL. What’s more, they seem to understand that just because someone is overweight, they have no fashion sense anymore. And the best part of it all: these swimsuits are affordable. The tankini I have on cost Php 599, less 10% because I got it on sale
