A magazine for young girls has received huge backlash after printing advice on how to look good in a swimsuit.
Readers as young as eight-years-old were told how to pick a swimsuit for their shapes in the US-based magazine.
Now while we see articles on getting the perfect ‘bikini-body’ in the months leading up to the summer, we didn’t think we would see them in magazine for kids.
Hey @DiscoveryGirls, why not include diet tips/surgical options with this? Your readers are 9, after all. Tick tock. pic.twitter.com/5oJI4KqnM6

So whether your young daughter is “curvy up top”, “straight up-and-down” or “rounder in the middle” this magazine claims to have found the perfect swimsuit for her.
The article has been shared by huge numbers on Twitter with mums disgusted at the message.
There was so much backlash that the magazine’s founder and publisher Catherine Lee issued a lengthy apology on Facebook.
