Prepping for a bikini bodybuilding competition is no small feat. The workouts, the diet, the posing practice, it all leads to one thing: show day. But here’s the truth… even if your physique is on point, a stage-ready look isn’t complete without the perfect bodybuilding competition bikini and all the little extras that make it shine.
This checklist is here to help you remember everything from fit adjustments to sparkly jewelry, suit glue, and even how to store your bikini so it stays flawless. Because when you’re standing under those lights, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your bikini strap is slipping.
✅ Fit and Alterations
Your bikini should feel like it was made just for you, because, ideally, it is. The right fit not only looks amazing but also keeps you confident on stage.
- 👙 Try your suit on early and often, your body will change during prep.
- 🔧 Make adjustments when needed (straps, padding, bottoms).
- 🚫 If it shifts when you pose, it’s too loose. Don’t risk it.
✅ Suit Glue and Tanning
Stage tan + bikini = sometimes tricky. That’s where suit glue comes in.
- ✨ Do a trial run with your tan to make sure the glue works with it.
- 🎯 Apply glue in key areas, like under the bust or sides of the bottoms.
- 👜 Always pack extra. Backstage surprises are real.
✅ Jewelry and Accessories
Your bikini is the star, but accessories? They’re the sparkle that ties it all together.
- Statement earrings = instant stage glam.
- A few bracelets or rings = polished, not overdone.
- Heels are a must-have. Practice in them so you look effortless.
✅ Transport and Storage
Your bikini is an investment, treat it like one.
- Use a hard case to keep crystals safe.
- Lay flat (folding can mess with the design).
- Store it somewhere cool and dry before and after the show.
✅ Backup Essentials
Backstage stress is real, but you can avoid it by packing a few extras.
- Extra bikini connectors (they break sometimes!).
- A mini sewing kit, lifesaver for quick fixes.
- Double-sided tape for emergency adjustments.
✅ Post-Show Suit Care
Once the show’s over, don’t just toss your bikini aside. A little TLC keeps it ready for next time.
- Rinse right away to remove tan and sweat.
- Let it air dry (heat can ruin it).
- Store it in its own bag or case.
✅ Off-Season Upgrades
Just because the season’s over doesn’t mean your bikini’s done. You can totally refresh it for the next round.
- Add more crystals for extra shine.
- Swap out connectors for a new vibe.
- Work with a designer to reinvent an older suit.
