Nothing instills fear like these two apocalyptic words: Swimsuit season. What has carefully been concealed most of the year suddenly must see the harsh light of day. Say it together now: The horror.
Fortunately, when choosing a bathing suit style, options abound. Everything from the modest "slimming" to the bravely bare "micro" is available.

But one search defies all logic: "Thong Bathing Suits." Unless you live on the beaches of Brazil, you've got no excuse.
No matter what the bathing costume choice, the beach bound have been stopping online to search for swimwear selections. Below, the top searches for swimsuits.
