Large Bust Swimwear!Yep, It Exists!
Let's talk about large bust swimwear!
Listen girlfriends. I know it stinks. It just does. Shopping for a swimming suit is never ever fun (unless you're one of the .5% of women who have perfect bodies).
What we need is a big bust swimsuit that is specially designed for us. A suit that will support our large breasts and lift them instead of leaving them sinking faster than the 'Tit'anic. (I warned you earlier I have a thing for puns and I just couldn't pass that one up.)
The good news is that large bust swimwear exists! These swimming suits have built-in underwire bras in them!! (Que Hallelujah Chorus!) Thanks to the internet they're more available than ever. I'll come back and talk about them in a minute, but first some bad news.
This isn't my first big bust swimming suit page. A couple years ago I wrote a page with 7 Tips about what to look for when shopping for a big bust swimming suit.
You can read all the tips on my big bust swimming suits page.
My old swimming suit page was written awhile ago (2 human years = 20 internet years) so I want to take a minute and talk about the hottest and best big bust swimming suits for this year.
Large Bust Swimwear
You're probably wondering how I determined which swimming suits to recommend. Here's how I choose.
- 1st - The suit must have a built-in underwire bra- Not a shelf bra, or a ridiculious foam bra - an actual underwire bra that the swimsuit is built around.
- 2nd - Reviews from other women - preferrably women who give their bra sizes so I know if other big busted women like the suit or not.
- 3rd - Cost - If you're like me you have a hard time shelling out 80 bucks for a suit (or half a suit!) I don't know why large bust swimwear is so darn expensive, but it is. However, once you find a great swimsuit with an underwire bra you'll be willing to pay the extra 40 or 50 bucks (but we don't have to like it right!) So I try to find the cheapest, best quality suits.
I researched 3 online stores for these suits. herroom.com
, Figleaves.com!, and
I like these stores because all three are well established, reputable stores that cater to big busted women. You should check them out too regardless of whether you like my picks because chances are you'll find something that will work for you.
Underwire Swimsuits I Like!
| Anna Tankini from Bravissimo.com This tankini gets nothing but rave reviews over at bravissimo.com. I wish it came in colors other than black, but oh well. Bravissimo has it listed for $57.00 (the prices listed on Bravissimo are initially listed in 'pounds'. But there's a currency link at the top where you can easily change the prices to dollars. Review for this tankini. "FANTASTIC - this is the best tankini top there is. have had 2 already and will be going for number 3 soon..... I need a 32 H, and in this size it is slimming, flattering, comfortable, supportive, sexy without being too much on show, practical for doing proper swimming in or wearing out of the water with shorts. I've tried other tankinis and swimsuits, but keep coming back to this one. have bought 2 different bottoms to ring the changes, and I have actually worn it on a night out as a strappy top too...... worth every penny. wish they had it in other colours." |

Orlando Tankini Top from Herroom.com
This is a tankini from Herroom.com. It's a tad on the pricier side at $88. It's very similar to the 'Anna Tankini' that I reviewed above. There's some 'ruching' (I don't know if that's the right word) on the front of the suit. For the most part this suit received good reviews. One Reviewer wrote: This is the best swimsuit top I've ever owned. The bra section fits perfectly and the adjustable straps feel sturdy. The fact that it's so fitted makes it a little tricky to get on (it has bra hooks hidden in the back), but well worth it. I also like that it's plenty long. I would have liked the waist to be a little less snug, but it still looks great on, so no worries! |

Tobago Tankini from Bravissimio I like this tankini because of the fun print and also the wider shoulder straps. The black band around the ribcage also defines the figure. Unfortunately there weren't any reviews for this tankini yet, but I included it because I really liked it. It's listed at $71.75 |

Premier Ultimate Swimsuit from Bravissimo If I was looking for a one piece swimming suit, this one would be at the top of my list. It's got a full underwire bra. I didn't include a include a picture of the back, but if you click on the picture you'll be able to see a back view and you can see the support that the bra band will offer. Now, there were a couple of complaints about this suit, the main one being that the wire from the bra poked out after several washes, but the ladies mentioned that it was easily fixed with a needle and thread. One Reviewer stated: "This swim suit does all the right things. It lifts my boobs and holds in my tummy. I ordered this in the 36E as my size 38E was sold out. I held my breath to see if it would fit and it did. I am 5'1" and a size 14 on the high street. the length fits me perfectly." There are 25 other reviewers. Read what they have to say by clicking the picture or the link at the top. |
| I've ordered several tankini's from Figleaves.com that I've liked (I talked about them on my other swimsuit page) and I've also gotten several cheap suits from their Outlet Sales. One idea for a suit that I'm trying this week in California is I ordered a bikini top and I'm going to wear a Rashguard short sleeve shirt over the top. I'll let you know how it works.
