bathing suits to fit the bump and the boobs!

[nbergeron]

Hello! Ugh, bathing suit season is upon us. While I love summer and swimming I HATE trying to find a suit for my non-pregnant body, let alone my prego body. I am a short (5'2") top heavy (DDD) mama and am having no luck w/local maternity stores. I need the "mix and match" combo to get a supportive top that can contain my ever growing, heavy breasts and bottoms that will stay on my bottom Does anyone have any suggestions of on-line or other retailers that cater to these issues? Mucho gracias in advance!!!!!

Im tall and top heavy (also DDD) and found the only option that worked for me is Walmarts maternity tankini... but it is cute and does support me.

I found some good ones at Target of all places in a range of sizes.

i am wearing a victoria secret bikini. also larger top then bottom (34DD) so luckily they sell seperates. we live near the beach so a bathing suit is essential and the VS ones really are most supportive and fit best.

I'm also a DDD and tried on every. single. suit. at Motherhood, finding this one to be surprisingly supportive in the top because of the way it is styled. I never would have guessed it on the hanger. In addition to having a decent cup/bra inside, the seaming on the suit itself lends support, and it has criss-cross straps that adjuts with buttons to get a more custom fit. I was pleasantly surprised! The bottoms are a big low rise, but I felt they fit nicely. I normally am a 6/8 pant and L top (for the girls ) and needed a large.

Anita also makes bra-sized maternity swimwear if you are willing to fork out $100+ for a top.

I have an Old Navy maternity two piece. (I like their maternity clothes a lot) It has a halter-style top, which is not my favorite. However, I have used it a lot for aquacise and I think it's really comfortable. And the price was right, about $40 or so. I ordered it off the net and it fit fine. I think it could give me a bit more support, but hey its a swimsuit, not a bra after all.

I'm big-boobed and short, and I just got a tankini top from Motherhood Maternity that I LOVE, fits so well.

I hate the bottoms they had, though (all bikini style, I like a boy short) so I ended up just getting a boy-short bottom from the plus-size section of Target.

Thanks everyone! I actually searched some older posts and took some mama's advice & ordered a non-maternity tankini top from Land's End. Their suits are great b/c they let you get your cup size (only up to DDD--sorry uber big tata owners!). I am awaiting my order of a size 12 & 14 top-normally an 8. Hopefully, one will work well. Happy summer to all!

One of the things I'm excited for this summer and fall is a swim suit, I have put on a bit of weight in the last few years all around my mid section struggling with insulin resistance. But now that I'm preggo I feel like I can love my belly. We are planning a beach getaway in oct. And i'll be 25 weeks or so, I plan on a looking for a suit that shows all the belly! Hope I still feel that way in the fall.

My only concern like many of yours will be to support the 34DDs I am growing!
