BF and Bathing Suits

ncase2 · May 2014

So, I tried to shop for a bathing suit this weekend and just gave up about half way through. I can't find a single top that fits and doesn't look ginormous. I used to be a respectable C cup, now I think I'm somewhere around a D? I am trying to BF until September, so I need some sort of solution to this problem, as I spend lots of time at the beach in the summer. Should I just give up and find a 1 piece? Any suggestions?

I wear a bikini, BF, and am currently a D cup. I searched online for a bikini top for large-breasted women but without an underwire. I ended up getting a halter top, which is usually what I get because it can be tied tighter for more support, especially as the swimsuit stretches out (since I swim a lot this seems to happen pretty quickly). But I actually hate halters because they pull on the back of my neck, so I always resew them so that the back crosses. See link (but don't get this one, it's designed for a A or B cup like all Title Nine stuff is):

You can make a halter into one of these by taking the under-bust tails and cutting them off, then looping and sewing the ends of the remaining pieces. Take the tails you cut off and sew them to the ends of the halter ties. This makes the halter ties long enough to cross the back, tuck through the under bust loops, and tie in the center back. It does give you a funny tan line on your back but IDGAF.

And if this seems super complicated and not worth it for a few swims, then just ignore me. I'm just saying that it works, and if you swim as often as I do and can't imagine wearing a 1-piece, then it's worth it.

I have DDs and wear a halter bikini top. I hate the halters but it gives me the support and coverage I need. To BF I just pull the boob out. It's still showing way less skin that some of the so-called bikini "tops" that a lot of women/girls wear.

i wear a suit that has more coverage than your average suit for young women....but when it comes to bf, i just flop it out the way anti-nip'ers hate. if you're swimming, you better be able to deal with a boob.

Another large breasted woman and I also found tankinis with the halter are the only reasonable solution for me.

Ugh I just realized that I prob won't be able to wear a bathing suit this summer because I'm still dominated by over supply and my bobs leak if you even blink at them. Damn.
