Woo-hoo! Swimsuit season is almost here! Hurray!

Yeah, right. Don’t know about you, but we’re not exactly dying to parade our pasty, muscle-tone-free asses around in weensy Brazilian bikinis.

Thankfully, we just got wind of news that could make the above prospect a little less grim. The designers of Poko Pano, the Brazilian swimwear infamous for its skimpiness, have added a bit more coverage to their bikini bottoms for the stateside launch. And while we wouldn’t call the tops modest, they do come in a range of shapes (from triangle to underwire) and are made to adjust for any size. Additional comfort may be found in the adorable prints (stripes, village motifs, tribal figures, little stars, flowers, and polka dots) and the variety of bright and dark colors.

It’s almost enough to get you pretty excited about swimsuit season.

Almost.
