Bathing suit season is here, so three viewers are testing hi-tech swim wear to see if they stand up to their claims:

• Stacey, 39, has a hard time finding a bathing suit that "keeps her parts all where they should be." After having three kids, she says she feels like a big bowl of jelly in her swim wear. "I would love to go to the beach and just be able to sit there and not have to worry about what I look like," she says. So Stacey tries the Miraclesuit®, which "is constructed to shape and firm the body without bulky linings or girdles."

• Los Angeles resident Elisse, 24, can get a tan just about anytime she wants to, but is having an issue with suits that leave tan lines - a problem in her profession as a model. "It's the equivalent of having a scar or a blemish," she says. So Elisse tries Cooltan® tan-through swim wear, which claims to let you get a safe, natural suntan right through your bathing suit.

• "I really worry about the sun," admits Lily, 42, referring to her five-year-old son Marcus who spends most of the day at the pool. "We'll put sunscreen on, but I don't know how long the sunscreen lasts, or what time of the day the sun is strongest." So Lily tries the LuvGear™ SunAlert suit, which is designed to change color to indicate the strength and levels of the UV rays.
