Can Curvy Girls Wear BIKINIS?

Hi everyone so i had a quick question:
So im definitely not thin nor am i over weight im somewhere in between, im what you qould call "curvy". As you may know summer time and bikini season is right around the corner with only 7 weeks until Memorial Day weekend, also know as the day when all the pools open!
I havent worn a bikini since 3 years ago because as i started growing up i realized my body shape is not totally "acceptable" by everyone. and i know i could wear a one piece or a tankini but i find those fit me awkwardly and show my problem areas even more. I want this summer to be the best one yet, I want to be able to hang out by the pool and get a tan without feeling self conscious.
SOOO...
here is when you guys come in:
do you HONESTLY think its ok for curvy girls (like myself) to wear a bikini? please be completely honest i really want to know what you think the pictures above are just me in one of the last bikinis i have own (so its a little small on me lol)
if you do think its ok to wear bikinis what style do you recommend?
ALSO..
do you guys have any weight loss tips or tips on how to get in shape before the pool time? please let me know because i have 7 weeks to get in shape and i would like to take advantage of each and every day.
thank you<3

It's O.K for you to wear bikini. You just have to have confidence in yourself, others do not matter :)

You look great first off all. Be comfortable with you. I'm curvier, ie bigger than you, and I wear them. You just have to find the right style. I like the ones with the strings, or the ones that are higher, so they dont land on the hip bone but on the waist. I find that those don't cut the body. Most of my bikinis were bought at ON.

I personally don't like bikinis cuz they give me wedgies lol but if you like it. I think curvy women can wear bikini's just be carefull. things tend too fall out. I like monokini to cover my chubby tummy lol.

You look as you said, just curvy, you aren't fat.
I think it looks really good on you!!!!!, so don't worry!
I know you might be worryng about those areas like in the tummy and your hips (I have exactly the same problem)... and tankinis or one piece make your good areas (like the bust and the booty) smaller, while they make your hips and tummy bigger... that totally sucks!...
I should try myself a bikini too... you inspired me!
