Khloe Kardashian insists she's comfortable in bikinis after airbrush scandal

Khloe Kardashian said she felt comfortable and stylish in bikinis as she brushed off the airbrush scandal.

Her picture-perfect Kardashian image was shattered with a single beautiful photograph of the bikini-clad star which was unedited and leaked on her Instagram account.

At the time, the reality TV queen hit back saying she had struggled with her body image in the spotlight.

Now the mother-of-one has insisted she feels confident and stylish wearing a bikini rather than slipping into a swimsuit.

For years, she only wore one-piece costumes until she founded her own swimwear line Good American Swim.

She told PEOPLE : "In the past, I was a one-piece girl. There weren't a lot of other options like two-pieces on the market that I felt comfortable yet stylish wearing.

"With Good American Swim, we wanted to alleviate those pain points that so many women face when finding the perfect suit, and offer quality swimwear for all women to look and feel their absolute best."

Khloe talked about how women's bodies change throughout their lives.

She added: "Women's bodies change so much throughout our adult lives. We wanted to offer Swim that would evolve with those changes and size fluctuations, and move with the curves of our bodies, guaranteeing the perfect fit, time and time again."

Khloe weathered an airbrushing scandal after a leaked bikini photograph begun circulating online.

In response, the sassy star gave a fiery response detailing her struggles with her body image and claiming the right to have a picture she doesn't like shared with everyone.

She wrote: "But as someone who has struggled with body image her whole life, when someone takes a photo of you that isn't flattering in bad lighting or doesn't capture your body the way it is after working so hard to get it to this point – and then shares it to the world - you should have every right to ask for it to not be shared – regardless of who you are."

Khloe later added: "In truth, the pressure, constant ridicule and judgement my entire life to be perfect and to meet other's standards of how I should look has been too much to bear."

However, Khloe did acknowledge the photograph unretouched and unfiltered was "beautiful".

She wrote among her lengthy post: "Hey guys, this is me and my body unretouched and unfiltered.

"The photo that was posted this week is beautiful."
