New York, NY -- True love may be hard to find, but it's still easier than discovering the perfect swimsuit.

At least, that's what the ladies who answered a recent poll on parents.com say.

While 18 percent say it was hard to hook up with their soulmate, 53 percent say it was more difficult trying to find a bikini that covers the bulges just right.

They even consider a swimsuit search tougher than giving birth - only 29 percent of women say childbirth is harder than finding the holy grail of bathing suits.

Other swimsuit stats...

-- 44 percent of women compare navigating the swimwear section of the mall to "having a root canal."

-- 30 percent would be willing to plunk down $100 for a bathing suit that fit perfectly and covered up all their "trouble spots."

-- And 26 percent say they've donned a bikini that's a real "fashion don't" too many times to count.
