Bikini for teeny tiny, not very nice boobs

[iamthedanger]

Inspired by another thread, I literally have no boobs. I don't know what size I am after breastfeeding ds2 and, quite frankly I'm too embarrassed to go and find out. I loathe them, there is no volume in them...etc etc. Ii need to find a bikini that gives me some oomph to boost my confidence in the nork area. Anyone?

[showtunesgirl]

Check your size using this guide: thebetterbracampaign.blogspot.co.uk/p/fitting-advice.html

A well fitted underwired bikini in the right size will give you that oomph!

In the same boat..
I bought a bikini top from Asda's 2 sizes bigger range. I'll see if I can find a link.. It's got a crazy amount of padding, not sure if that's what your after. I wear the bras too and they're really comfy

[readyforno2]

It's much nicer in real life, promise! I'm sure there are other ones in the same range m.direct.asda.com/george/womens/swimwear/2-sizes-bigger-neon-leopard-print-bikini-top/GEM321615,default,pd.html

[iamthedanger]

Thanks both.
I'm not bothered about padding...needs must n'all that .
Showtunesgirl, I have actually measured myself after following the bra campaign posts on here. I came out a 31 under and 33 ish over so by my reckoning I should be a 32b...except I don't even fill a b cup as there is so little volume in them (in fact I don't even fill an a cup... ). I'm very tall and pretty bony up top (bigger arse and hips but my height allows me to hide them pretty well) and I have, well, a swimmers build I guess, quite broad shoulders and ribcage so a 32" feels too tight and a 30" is just painful. If any boob experts can enlighten me further about my weird body I'd be grateful...

[hippospot]

I have your identical build. I hate my small boobs although if it's any consolation my friends all envy my height and good shoulders

I find padded triangle halter-neck style suits me. I need the padding as anything wired or with a cup size will inevitably gape as unfilled :(

Could this work? Ruching will add volume: navy

This is the nearest style I can find to the one I bought from Figleaves last year - I really think it suits an athletic physique such as ours: black and white

[FauxFox]

There are quite a few crop top style bikinis around this year that might suit you:
palm print
wrap top
print
black and white

[Happy36]

I am flatchested too and wear string bikinis. Usually bright colours (on the whole I don't like patterns so go for plain neon pink, orange, turquoise) to distract from the - lack of - size. A kind of crochet texture is good as it seems to add volume. Avoid anything with ruching.

[Happy36]

Yes, like Hippo says, a triangle top with a halterneck.

[justjuanmorebeer]

I too am small chested and thought I was a 32b for years. Turns out I am a 30D! Honestly I am quite flat but since I habe been buying this size it lifts them up so much more!
I'd say try it.
I am on holiday right now with two freya bikinis I bought on sale from asos for next to nothing. They are both underwired like proper bras and very comfy. One is padded balconette style and one is unpadded but halter. With ordering online obviously it is tricky but why not go to some big department stores that have the underwear brands swimwear ranges and try on loads of tops. If you get on with them you can get last year's on websites such as figleaves and brastop quite cheaply.
Even amazon and ebay are cheap too.
Even though I thought I had no boobs I would never go back to cheap undies and bikini tops now as the good quality ones make a massive difference.

the positive thing is that the small boob ones are ALWAYS in the sales

[blueberry2310]

I've nothing left after breastfeeding and find the seafolly bikini tops really flattering. I always go for a ruched top.

[Fletcherl]

Also try sweaty Betty.

[Florabeebaby]

I have no boobs, at all. I don't fill an A cup either and any underwired/padded bikini I have tried feels very loose. And shows the whole boob if I bend down so not so good!
BUT I found an amazing on in Debenhams, (Mantaray), triangle with a tie top back and halterneck, slightly padded so your nipples won't poke through. Lovely bright colours.

[carrie74]

I'm also flat chested and wear padded triangles (patterned is better), or some bandeaus work too. I buy mine abroad, so not much help, but recent purchases have been Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap and Old Navy, so you may be in luck.

[carrie74]

This is the abercrombie one: www.abercrombie.co.uk/shop/uk/womens-tops-swim/strappy-back-bandeau-top-4511075_01

And these are Old Navy's current triangles: oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1032052&vid=1&pid=369764

[readyforno2]

I love that abercrombie one! My aunt is in America just now and I've sent her the link to see if she can get it over there!

I think this style could work. Triangle bikinis look best on small boobs imo but not if you're self conscious

[Bunbaker]

I am a similar build to you and have a couple of fab bikinis that I bought from Debenhams last year. IMO they have the best range of swimwear that I can find for my lack of curves.

I bought something similar in style to this last year and it is really flattering.

[ababycalledbrian]

I too am in this unhappy boat. French Connection triangle bikinis with slight padding are good.

[wrenster]

Another vote for Debenhams here. I have tiny shrivelled little boobs which I almost have a phobia about. I bought a bikini from Debenhams last year which is the first one I have ever felt ok in and when I went back before the Easter hols, I was overjoyed to find loads in!

They are called the Ultimate range and I am now the owner of 4 bikinis that I am not mortified to be seen in. They are pretty padded but that suits me - would really recommend.

[SevenEleven]

Please go and get measured somewhere reputable. I am also almost completely flat chested and after being measured for years in M&S and them insisting I was a 32aa that I didn't fill, was too tight round the chest and was half way up my back I had decided that perhaps I shouldn't be wearing a bra after all if I couldn't even fill a aa cup. Then I was in House of Fraser bemoaning the fact that there were no aa cup bras when one of the ladies overheard me and gently coaxed me into being properly measured. She tried on several bras and found me to be a 30C - which I actually filled!!! I could have kissed her!

So, what I am trying to say is that you may not fill a 32b, but you may fill another size and then once your bra is sorted you start to feel much better in clothes and about yourself in general.

I am now going to google some of these links as I have a holiday coming up and am tired of wearing triangle bikinis and would love something more glam!

[iamthedanger]

Thank you all so much. I know it seems ridiculous and it's such a third world problem but I really, really hate my breasts, and the thought of standing in a changing room with someone yelling out 34aa for all to hear is not something I've wanted to do. But I will. Just to double check I'm buying the right (albeit small) size! I love some of the links, am going to have a proper look and get ordering. Good to know it's not just me who feels like this. Thanks again!

[SevenEleven]

A good fitter is very discrete and you have to remember that they will have seen all shapes and sizes, women after surgery, and those who are very nervous many times before, so are very sensitive to your needs. They definitely won't be shouting out your size! I wish mine had as I never thought in a million years I would have been a C cup!

[dementedpixie]

iamthedanger 30B or 30C would probably be more appropriate given your measurements

[wrenster]

Iamthedanger - I really do sympathise and feel exactly the same (I don't even let my husband see them as they are so shrivelled and I'm only 34!)

After reading on here and measuring myself properly it turns out I'm actually a 28b which is a better fit than the 32a I was wearing before. However it doesn't actually make them any bigger but a padded bikini that doesn't gape does make me feel much better. Check out Debenhams - I could truly kiss them. Just need to find a better fitting bra now as very few places do 28!

[burnishedsilver]

I have a fiend with the same figure as you. She looks amazing in a sporty bikini. Hers is like this but with a boyleg shape on the bottom.
