Maternity Swimwear in JJ/K cup

Im struggling to find maternity swimwear. I am currently 13+4 and i am planning to start antenatal swimming classes, but im struggling to find any swim wear. I am currently a size 10-12, but my boobs are a 32JJ/K ( I started of pregnancy at a 30HH) and they keep getting bigger.

I can't wear wires and my boobs are far too sore, I tried on a selection of bikini's at bravisimo and all wear painful within a few moments. Plus I would rather have a tankini or a swimming costume.

I have just had to start wearing maternity clothes as my bump is starting to show and clothes are all starting to get tight around my waist. Swim wear i previously have, is now too small around my bust so I can't even try and wear that for the while.

I hope that makes sense

I also forgot to mention, I also don't have a massive amount of money to spend on swim wear. I don't really want to spend more than twenty - thirty pounds.

I just bought a supermarket tankini in the biggest size. I kept my current swimming costume until is stretched really thin (blush)

It doesn't exist in your cup size. There was a thread about a week ago where someone had found a maternity tankini/suit up to G cup, I think by Anita. I bought a cheapish bra sized tankini top in a sister size from brastop, and then reduced the band inside. E.g. If I was a 32jj I bought a 34j or a 36hh but artificially reduced the back size leaving a roomy tummy. Good luck!

That my my thread I think ConvincingLiar! I asked a similar question as I am a H cup and the best I could get was a Fantasie one that went to a G cup. Even then it cost me £66 (found a green version in the sale though for £42!). I wanted the wires though, hate non wired.

Try BraStop, that's where I got my sale version from...best of luck!

Sorry to say, if you think its hard finding maternity swimwear in a j/k cup, you don't even want to know how poor the selection of bf bras there are (or rather, aren't) in that size Sad

I can't find any without wires in my size. My boobs hurt too much to wear anything wired. They seem to be continually growing which also doesn't help

I've being getting molke and milk and Assal bras since they first went up and bravissimo basically said they had nothing for me, as the Royce and freya bras didn't fit and panache was too small.

Finding them online was a god send
