For those who have been patiently waiting to see the outcome of our Ditch the Diaper event at Caddy’s last month, you can go to the DitchtheDiaper.com website and check out the before and after photos now!! Even though the event is over, the Campaign is still in full swing! If you haven’t participated yet, this is a perfect time to enter! Remember, all accepted entrants receive a gift certificate just for participating, and of course a chance to win a $2,000 BIKINI MAKEOVER! So what are you waiting for???
We have a special video put together. Our host, and gorgeous model Valerie leads us through a maze of diaper wearing women who are ready to make the pledge to ditch just that!
See their stunning transformations into TeenyB’s!!!
I have been on the road the past week visiting with my family and friends.
It is always nice to get out of town for a while (especially the heat in Florida.)) I had the pleasure of starting our trip out at Dana Point in California. We spent one afternoon down at the beach, it was beautiful. I couldn’t help but check out the locals and what types of bikinis they were wearing. Still lots of room for TeenyB to make their mark!
We did not stay in Southern California for long. The next day we worked our way up north and have settled at Lake Tahoe to spend 2 weeks. It is a very special 4th of July this year because the Winter has lasted so long there is still snow on the mountain tops!!
Maria and I knew we had to come up to the top of Squaw so we could take a photo in our bikinis with the snow!!!
Naturally we are wearing bikinis from the new Independence Line
They were even letting people go skiing this weekend…but since we are not Advanced skiers, we decided we would stick with making snow angels instead! BRRRRR.
Well that sure went by fast! A belated Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there…especially to my hubby!
This weekend we did our Ditch the Diaper event and it was a total success. We are working now on trying to sort the before and after photos and match up the names, it’s similar to the Memory game. It’s been really fun to see them (the before and after photos) side by side… I think you are really going to enjoy looking at them once they are up on the website.
This weekend was successful for a lot of reasons, but mainly that I think we got an opportunity to show the brand to people that might have never thought they could wear a TeenyB!
You could see that a lot of women were nervous about putting on a bikini that “seemed so small” at first, but once they tried it on and had a chance to look at themselves, they realized it really made them look better. I see women of all sizes, body types, and ages and they all have the same initial worries about putting the suit on! It doesn’t matter if they are super skinny, have tattoos or terrible tan lines (in fact, a LOT of exposed tan lines for sure!!) If you have never worn a TeenyB before, of COURSE it is going to FEEL like it is super small, but the reality is…they are conditioned to be wearing TOO BIG of bikini’s….hence, Ditch the Diaper!
I feel like those women who participated in the event, will hopefully continue to wear the bikini around other friends who were not there, and it can spread!! I can tell you one thing is for certain, but the end of the day – you could see TeenyB had made it’s mark on the beach at Caddy’s and there were a lot of smiling faces around!!!
I want to extend a very special thank you to all of the staff at TeenyB who made this event possible. It went very smoothly and we all worked together, making adjustments as we needed. It is really refreshing to work with a group of people that are all on the same team and working towards the same goal. It truly will allow us to make anything we set our minds to possible!
Thank you again to everyone who participated in the Ditch the Diaper event! More to come soon.
PS – I didn’t even get a chance to mention the video!!!!!
Take it from World Class Bikini Fitness Champion, Jaime Baird….Taking Fitness on Vacation CAN happen!
And it can also be fun!
Take a moment to read her inspirational blog post, and notice the workout at the bottom. I tried to complete it, got all the way thru, but then realized there were supposed to be 3 MORE SETS after that!! I guess that’s why she’s the champion! Hahaha.
We think Jaime has fun no matter what she does in life, just check out that sexy bikini she’s wearing!!

Everyone has been working really hard at TeenyB these days. We have a lot of great projects in the works, and have been really pushing our boundaries when it comes to creativity and fresh ideas.
When we first created this company, we knew HOW we wanted to site to look and feel, but recognized that it was not going to happen right away. We will always be updating it with fresh styles and prints, sure, but the feel of the photos will grow as our photography does. We must always be evolving our style…it is part of being a luxury brand. WE have to be the creators. If we do not, then it is easy for people to emulate and replicate, which essentially would then make us obsolete.
What better time to present a brand new look to our company then with the upcoming Independence Day? And what better way to describe a new style of bikinis as well. We are just scratching the surface with this new style of photography, but it is something we have been longing to do for several years.
Introducing our first Special Edition Independence Lookbook and Catalog! (To view this entire catalog, please click on the image below)
We have been asked several times if we have any Look Books or Catalogs and this will be the first of many to come throughout the year, so make sure to keep checking.
These bikinis are all for sale, but for a short time only (Guaranteed Delivery for July 4th), but after that, they are gone so make sure to get yours today!!!
What makes these bikini so special????
Besides being able to mix and match all the styles to fit your personal style and preference, we also have some new styles in general! Can anyone say…RUFFLES?? Be sure to check out all the style options available on the last page of the catalog…OHHH, and you can click on any one you like to take you directly to the storefront photo!
It is safe to say that I keep a lot of “balls in the air” with regards to ideas and work. Now many people might find this to be an ineffective way to complete tasks at hand. Sometimes, it can be. It is easy to switch from one project to the next, not really completing anything if it seems too tough at the time.
I would like to think that while I DO have a lot of tasks, I have a good track record of finishing them out.
The problem is, some projects just can’t be finished right away. I can devote a lot of time, but if it doesn’t feel right, then why force something. Many times, I have a lot of designs floating around in my head. Almost 18 months ago, I was diligently working on 3 different cover-ups. A skirt, and two dresses, all of which have not been completed. I worked on them for many months, and each sample did not have the finishing touches I felt would make them successful.
That was definitely a project I put on the back burner, but over the past 2 months I have really been thinking about them and how to complete them. With renewed vigor I have picked up at least the skirt with the hopes of having it completed by Memorial Day. Even if only to wear the sample to get peoples opinions. The 2 cover-up dresses are next on my list. Having walked away from them for a substantial amount of time, have really allowed me to come back with a somewhat fresh perspective on what can be changed.
Here’s to hoping that sometime next year, I will be widening our company to include not only panties, but cover-ups too!!
As the weather gets warmer, I think all girls go thru a “Oh shit – the time is now!” period where they have to really start getting into bikini shape. I definitely hit this mark in the last few weeks and I have quite a bit of work to do.
Last year, was one of the best years of my life….The Saints won the Superbowl, and I had my first child.
This will be the first year that I get my body back into bikini shape after having a baby, and it is proving to be quite a task. Now, don’t get me wrong, this hasn’t STOPPED me from putting on a bikini, but it doesn’t mean I am 100% feeling back to the way I was before. (On a side note, one of the things that really kept me positive during my pregnancy, and that I hadn’t counted on, is that because our bikinis are cut so low, I was able to wear the bikinis all throughout my pregnancy. Albeit in a different size of course…it was nice to feel sexy still even with my big belly.)
I have to learn to keep things in perspective though. I tried on a Half Pucker Butt bottom, (Not typically my go-to bikini) but I have to start somewhere, and WOW. It might have been the angle I was looking at myself at, but I started doing walking lunges that day.
I was not down on myself…I just knew that I wanted to look better. Then I started to think about it…At least I am lucky enough to have access to such a beautiful line of bikinis that is going to make me look better ANYWAY! I just think about the OLD suits I used to wear…. I can only imagine how awful I would have looked (or felt) if I put on THAT suit.
Again, while I may not be 100% in physical form just yet…I know I still look better in my TeenyB bikini with this body, then I would if I had an awesome figure and someone ELSE’s swimwear. So I guess…it is better than nothing!
My favorite quick get in shape tips for the Summer….
Walking Lunges, Push ups, and Walking or Running…on the beach of course!
Well it may not be officially Summer yet in Florida, but the bikini weather is officially here.
Have you already picked out what bikini you will be wearing this season?? Or perhaps you have a few in mind! We have been busy at work this past month getting ready for the bikini rush.
May has always been a great month for us, and this year will be no different. We are proud to be featured in Maxim Magazine this May, be sure to check us out.
While this feature, is not centered around bikini’s themselves, our bikini made the cut! And who could blame them, we do think our bikinis are the hottest on the block.
I am super excited because they actually did a mix match of top and bottom colors. One of our favorite things to do when we are feeling frisky!! Best way to get the most use out of ALL of your bikinis?? Mix and Matching the tops.
Here is a sneak peak at the photo, but be sure to get the whole magazine to get the full effect!
The bikini above is from our B.Luxe Downtown Collection. She is rocking a Bright Pink Classic Triangle Top and Peacock Solid Shortie.
I was reflecting yesterday, after receiving a very special email from a longtime customer who just received his package from us in the mail. It was an International order, and so there is a bit of a language barrier, but thank goodness for the internet and translation sites.
He was happy with the new styles and colors and very excited to present the new suits to his wife as a gift.
It made my day to read his kind letter, but also to realize that his wife would soon be getting a special present. It is a sweet thought; that a man takes his time to pick out a special gift for a girlfriend or wife. Something that would mean a lot to her, make her feel sexy and special. It makes me very happy to know that our product falls into that category.
We take pride in offering customers individual help for any questions they may have, and many times we are working with men who want to surprise their significant others with a gift. We will go to great lengths to find a bikini cut she would feel comfortable in, a color that would match her skin tone and sizing, so it will fit her perfectly.
The ultimate smile came to my face when I soon realized, that I too, fell into that category; a woman surprised by her husband with a sexy bikini. Long before TeenyB ever started, my wonderful husband gave me a beautiful bikini as a gift. What lucky women we are, to have men that are not afraid of our sexiness and desire to harness it. If it weren’t for him looking for a special gift for me, then perhaps TeenyB – in some way or another, would never exist.
People always ask me where I get the ideas for our new designs. Honestly, a lot of it is for selfish reasons.
I want a specific type of bikini, or I want to wear something new. You know girls, they can have two dozen pairs of black shoes in their closet, but they will continually go buy more.
I am no different. I wear bikinis a lot! And even though we have a lot to choose from, I still want something fresh.
Our two newest top designs (very similar in style excluding the backs) are because I wanted a top that I would be able to wear while fishing and kayaking. Something that would feel sporty and supportive; something that would let me go out and be active while not having to worry about bouncing around, or falling out. After just having a baby, my boobs have become my, ah-hem, biggest asset. So for naturally endowed women that have a lot up top, and could use the extra support they really will love this top!
The great part is, while having the extra support, they are still cut as minimally as possible to keep you looking sleek and sexy.
I have to laugh at myself, I feel like every time I write on this blog page, it turns into an advertisement. I guess that is the price I pay for being such a fan of this product. I suppose it is better than the alternative!
Practice what you preach, love what you do, have fun working and the rest will fall in place.
It is always a day where I have to run a bunch of errands that the weather is just so crappy I barely want to step outside. Today is definitely that day.
I don’t mind being cooped up in a house once in a while. I being projects that I have been meaning to start, catch up on emails (and blogs!!) and generally waste a little bit of time. Which is something that I don’t really get a chance to do that often.
So how did I waste my afternoon???? Watching videos of course!!! But not you normal, Hollywood sucky videos…awesome TeenyB ones!
We are always updating it, and the most exciting stuff is about to come. (Hello….Bahamas!!!)
Just this week, Dennii is modeling a super gorgeous Kelly Green Oasis Bikini! Keeps me warm on these miserable wet cold days.
Hot huh?? Just the tip of the iceberg. Be sure to sign up to get notified every time we upload a new video.
And if you think you can make a better video, be sure to visit our Contributors Page where you can do just that. Not only can you submit your own bikini videos (MUST BE WEARING A TEENYB of course) but you can also get $150 gift certificate for doing so. How awesome is that?
Now, that is what a call a great way to pass the time!!!
Traveling back to Florida I browsed the magazine isle for something to read. It is no surprise that when I saw the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, I had to get it.
I knew that our bikinis would not be featured in the magazine, because I would have heard something about it….but that didn’t stop me from looking.
I find it interesting to see what bikinis they choose, where the market is going…. how I feel we stack up. One thing I have noticed about the past 3-4 years of seeing the Swimsuit issue is that they seem to be wearing less and less swimwear all together. I know it is tantalizing to show girls with only a bottom on, and it certainly can sell extra magazines but it makes me wonder, perhaps the bikinis they are choosing are just not that sexy.
Why get a magazine that is supposed to be a “swimsuit issue” and not showcase any swimsuits. Not to mention the dozen or so photos where the girls are simply body painted!!!! Don’t get me wrong, they are hot photos…. I feel in a way the editors at Sports Illustrated realize that having less is more. They are looking for itty bitty bikinis that hug the models curves and totally showcase their bodies… HELLO – that is what TeenyB is all about. Perhaps next year they will realize that they need to be putting their models in more of OUR suits!! That will really make the magazine fly off the shelf!
Another thing I look at while browsing the issue is the photography itself. Being an admirer of an art form that I personally love is always fun for me. I look at the awesome locations they get to shoot at and fantasize about being that big one day. I look at the accessories they use, and angles, lighting, etc. Perhaps I am biased, but I think our photos are just as awesome as theirs.
Mind you, having bombshells like Brooklyn Decker rocking your bikini certainly makes a photo more likable, our models are equally hot – and most importantly everyday people!
One of the things I love about some of our models is that they do not even model full time! THAT is very special!
In any case, Sports Illustrated makes most of their money on this one issue alone and that is an amazing thought.
While we were not featured in the magazine this year, we did get the opportunity to give our swimwear away in the gift bags for all the models that participated for the Sports Illustrated Shoot. Our suits may still be too hot for the printed issue itself, but I hope the models will love wearing our bikinis in their free time!
It always amazes me..for as short of a month that February is, it always seems to be our busiest.
Not in terms of sales…while there are people still buying bikinis for their vacations across the world, I mean behind the scenes. Our Catalog shoots are always something that require a lot of planning, and a lot of attention. This year was no different. But now, as we begin the first day of March we can look back and say – it was definitely all worth it!!!
On location shooting can always provide it’s wrinkles with small problems, hassles of bringing in equipment, models, accessories you name it…but it can also provide you with stunning backdrops that you just cannot get at home. Needless to say – it is a necessary evil to make sure our company continues to grow and succeed.
One of the great things about our catalog shoots is that I get to spend time with the crew and people that I love. It is important to have a job that you love, but to also enjoy the people you work with. It is nothing short of a working vacation…with a emphasis on working!!! But when we look back at it, the hard work doesn’t seem so tough after all, and you are left with the smiles and funny moments that shine throughout the trip.
Speaking of shine….I am most excited about our new products. We have a totally fresh palate of colors this year and it was really a joy to shoot. The models loved them, the photographers found new inspiration with them, and they matched the decor of the locations we shot at. (MORE TO COME ON THAT!!!)
All and all, as I sit down to review the work we have just completed, I will be reminiscing on the experiences and looking forward to the next big trip we take.
Its Always Something…First the Internet – Now TELEVISION!!!
January 16, 2011
Posted by Katie
Just recently we had the opportunity to bring our swimwear collection to television.
Not only was this special because it was our New Spring 2011 line, which hasn’t been seen ANYWHERE, but it was also our first time doing a live television spot. I have to admit, it was a little nerve racking. I certainly do not have a lot of experience in FRONT of the camera, but it is something that I will just have to get used to. Not only will I need to “get used to it” but I must learn to become excited at the thought of it!
Needless to say, the spot went well. My models looked fantastic (we had 4 of them, and they all looked tremendous in the new Spring colors and styles.) We also created quite a stir at the television studio. I never get tired of seeing people excited around the swimwear and models. The television host seemed at first a little nervous about the suits, saying they were quite small, but I could tell she liked them.
To me, when I see people a little nervous, but interested, it means that we have a product that is still fresh and new. Having a product (especially in a market like swimwear) it is very difficult to have something that IS new and makes people excitable. But we have just that.
Unfortunately, because the television spot was on live t.v., I do not have a recording of it yet..but I am working on it.
Let’s just hope it played out as well as I thought, when we go to review it.
Welcome everyone into the New Year. It is going to be a very exciting one for us and we are charging full steam ahead.
We will be gearing up to our Catalog shoot in the Bahamas and are looking forward to shooting some new girls, as well as some favorites.
One of the new models we are most excited about has another contest running, that we would like to inform you about. This is a great way to get you acquainted with the gorgeous Holly Bricken!!
She not only started out as a Customer of ours, but will soon be one of the featured models on our website.
You can see that Holly is already rocking HER TeenyB. She models an Oasis Bikini in Royal Shiny.
Holly is not only gorgeous but she is very sweet too! If she is not motivation to get your butt in bikini gear, then we do not know what WILL motivate you.
I hope that everyone is having a fantastic holiday season. Merry Christmas to all.
This year, we are spending Christmas down south -in Barbados. It is our first trip to this Country and we are having a great time. I always enjoy visiting new Caribbean islands for two reasons:
#1. I love the sun and the sand (even though I seem to be getting less of it these days with a new kid on board)
#2. It keeps me in touch with new trends and styles of bikinis.
Barbados is really an English-heavy island. Sure some Americans visit, but this is mainly a British vacation destination. I can safely say that this island can seriously use a nice dose of TeenyB.
When packing my bags, I was going for more of our conservative styles (knowing this is an island that trends to the conservative) but I have seen a fair share of tiny bikinis.
The sad thing is they do not necessarily look like they are doing any justice to women’s figures. Our TeenyB slogan is “Less Fabrics, More Looks” but I see now that it is really only half of the battle.
What makes our bikinis so special is not that it is just Less fabric, but it is also CUT PERFECTLY to accentuate your body and a womanly curve! It truly makes me even more excited that we are completely re-shooting and re-launching our new B.Luxe (Micro Bikini Line) this spring- 2011. It is going to BLOW this island away……
Want to make your TeenyB do a little work for you???
Our video contest was such a success, we have decided to keep up our Contributors section and allow EVERYONE to participate WHENEVER they want! Photos and/or Videos are accepted. Simply capture yourself, your subject, whomever in a TeenyB and submit it! You can take photos of yourself rocking your bikini on vacation, at your house, anywhere!!! Or test out your acting skills and make a video. Every accepted admission receives $150 Gift Certificate!!! It’s that simple.
