A bikini model and designer who admits she used to be ‘ashamed’ of her curvy bum has now learned to embrace it.
Karina Irby, CEO of swimwear brand Moana Swim, is also known for sharing body positive content on Instagram with her 1.1million followers. And this week she decided to talk about her rear.
The 34-year-old, from Australia, told fans she used to try hiding her bum by wearing board shorts that ‘came down to her knees’. However, these days, she is often seen flaunting it in teeny bikinis.

Writing on the site, she said: “Gone are the days where I used to wear board shorts to my knees to cover my butt and thighs. I was so self-conscious. All I wanted was a tiny body. No curves and definitely no booty smile creases!
“I use to look at my butt in the mirror and lift it up with my hands to see what I’d look like if I had no booty crease. I was obsessed with losing weight to somehow achieve this look.”
