Anyone try Old Navy's maternity swimwear?

I'm going to the Bahamas the first weekend of May to shoot a wedding and my friend has a pool so I'm planning to spend lots of time by the pool this summer...I was looking at ON and they're really inexpensive. I was a little worried about the boob area though, does it have enough lining?

Anyone tried them like/dislike them?

While I'm at it...do the bottoms really necessary need to be "maternity"? Most of the bottoms to any of my bikini's are pretty low, so I'm thinking just an regular bottom would be fine.

i was a D cup BEFORE PG so you can imagine my ongoing struggle with bathing suit tops... i bought an ON one for water aerobics and so far no wardrobe malfunctions.

i just looked to see what they were offering online and mines not any of those... mine if more tank topish and doesn't scoop in front. i can't imagine the ones online would hold me in.

I can't tell you anything regarding the ON swimwear, but I honestly think I'm going to try & get by with my regular bikini bottoms as long as I can.  Most of mine are the string tie ones so I can adjust it & they're very low already so I don't want to spend any money on bottoms unless I get to the point where I can't wear them anymore. 

I don't really understand the difference between maternity & non-maternity bottoms anyways... I've been trying to figure that out for a while.

My thoughts exactly! Now I'm trying to decide if I want to be brave in a bikini or get a tankini. Hmm.

I got a suit from old navy but had to send it back.  It pulled straight over my boobs to my belly if that makes sense.  It wasn't long enough, and didn't sit with the shape of my chest.  So I sent it back and they gave me a refund, but ofcourse not the $7 it cost to ship it to me.

When I was pg with DD, we were in Italy from 28wks-30 weeks and I wore my non-maternity bikinis the whole time.  This time around my post-baby belly and thighs and hips mandated I get a maternity one piece for mommy and me swim class... I went motherhood...

Thanks - that's what it looked like to me. (I had the same question about their swimwear). I've had good swim suits from ON before, but the maternity tankini didn't seem cut right from the website.

I've been wearing my pre-pg tankini to swim aerobics. The bottoms work fine and I don't plan on replacing them with maternity. My tank is starting to pull up and looks a little silly, but it still works. I'll probably need a maternity top soon, though. I'd try on your regular swimsuits and see if they fit. If I were going to lounging at the pool (rather than exercising), I'd be in my pre-pg bikini.
