Maternity swimsuit

Searched this board and couldn't find a similar post.

Having issues finding a swimsuit for well endowed women (I'm a DD). Any suggestions?

    I just got this one from Target.com. I am also a DD bit I also have a pretty big butt & hips these days so I wanted something to give a little coverage done there too. I have only tried it on and it is super cute but the halter top kind of hurts my neck since the girls are so heavy. I'm going to see if my mom can work her sewing magic and and just make the straps just go over my shoulders like a regular suit. We will see if it works?!

  • I found a nice tankini from Costco. I had bottoms that still fit ok, just needed a top.  We were already on vacation and in a pinch but it worked out just fine
  • I'm also struggling in this area (and we leave for a cruise Monday morning!). I ordered a maternity swim suit online, but it doesn't fit well. Fits the boobs but is a little saggy in the crotch area. My local target didn't have any maternity swim suits in stores and none of the regular ones fit well. I ordered 2 tankinis from Target early this week, but the estimated delivery date isn't until Monday. Looks like I'll be spending the weekend trying to find one in a local store. :-/

  • I just ordered this one a couple weeks ago and I love it. I am a D cup and it seems to hold up well. It does not go around the neck and make your neck sore. I bought it when it was on sale for $45 and today it is on sale for $30...ugh!

  • I just picked up a regular bikini from Target and it works fine!
  • I got just the top to a maternity tankini with my Amazon Prime and wear it with a bottom I already had. It was from Oceanlily. I'm a 34G so I understand the support issues!  If you order today and do overnight shipping you'll get it before you leave!

  • Destination maternity has halter top tankinis, that's all I can wear that'll hold up my huge boobs.  And you can mix and match.  I tend to get XL on top and L on the bottom.

  • @amandazap I ordered it online from Kohl's.
  • As long as I can keep the stretch marks away again, I'll take advantage of not having to suck in my stomach and will rock a bikini this summer. Look for a top with underwires or a halter style for maximum support.

  • I have been struggling finding a maternity swimsuit that works for plus-sized mammas with big bosoms. :/  Any suggestions, ladies?
  • I'm a 36F now, and I got two suits at destination maternity that work for me

    I was actually thinking the same thing. This might be the only time in my life I feel somewhat ok wearing a bikini! Haha. Normally I have enough weight in my midsection and could look borderline pregnant so now that I am pregnant and very visibly pregnant I'm going to try to rock one!

    I tend to feel more confident in my body when pregnant because I don't have to worry about my midsection, and I feel like the big ol' belly makes my thighs look smaller, lol.

  • YES - I will totally be rocking the same bikinis I wore last summer (as long as I can cram my boobs into them). I will eat all I want with my huge belly hanging out, and for once in my life, I won't GAF about how it looks

  • Just bought these yesterday as you guys inspired me.   Bring on summer!!!   I didn't have any bikinis that fit the girls...  Got these from Target.  If I get too top heavy I will use included straps.
