Very supportive sporty swimsuit

[Clarkgriswoldforever]

I'm looking for a swimming costume to do lengths and water aerobics etc in. My boobs are massive so I need a very supportive suit. I'm wanting a sporty one. Can anyone help me find one pleas?

How about one of the Freya Active Swim ones? www.figleaves.com/uk/product/FBF-FBF-AS3991/Freya-Swim-Active-Swim-Underwired-Moulded-Swimsuit/?size=&colour=Lilac/Purples

This may not be helpful but I order Speedos but from the USA website. They are different to the UK ones and much more supportive. Problem is last time I checked you can only use an American credit card and have an American delivery address. My sister lives in Boston so she sorts it out for me.

[leedy]

Really, I didn't know the US ones were different? I usually wear Speedo suits for lap swimming, but I'm not particularly huge of nork so find them supportive enough.

Just looking at the US site, yes, they're a different range of suits. Mad.

Actually leedy that costume could be perfect I'll have a proper look at it thank you

Choughed I'll have a wee nosey at speedo US. I've got family visiting there very soon so maybe they could do some shopping for me. 👍

I've just bought the Speedo sculpt watergem. Has nice big adjustable straps but looks really stylish.

It's kept my bazookas under wraps so far.

Only That looks lovely but I'm unsure of unwired. My bust is big for my frame so I'm always unsure of what size to get. It's a really good price though.

non wired Sorry brain freeze

Are you sure of your bra size as per the MN bra intervention threads? Or as described here: thebetterbracampaign.blogspot.co.uk/ If you post your measurements, one of the MN bra gurus will help! (I am not one of the gurus but will help if I can!)

I would then look at somewhere like Bravissimo for cup-sized swimwear - not a massive choice, but they do have some good sporty ones. I've had very good Speedo and Panache ones from them.

There was a very similar thread on this recently:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/2598053-Sporty-swimsuit-for-28G
I stand by my recommendation on that thread. I prefer a non-wired swimsuit for actual swimming (and find it very supportive).

[leedy]

Slight aside to Clark's thread, but how does sizing work in cup-sized one pieces?

I buy cup-sized bikinis and tankinis fairly regularly but am afeared of buying a cup-sized suit as I have a relatively small back but a very long torso (I've ended up going up two sizes in Speedo to get something that doesn't dig in at the shoulders) and, frankly, a big arse. I have visions of something that flatters my boobs wonderfully but gives me a titanic wedgie below...

[bluebiro]

leedy I think you just have to experiment a bit with different makes and maybe try sizes around your usual bra size to see what fits best!

[NameChange30]

I don't know leedy - I wondered the same. I supposed they go by the average torso length for your bra size... Luckily swimsuits have a lot of elasticity so that must help!

My bra size swimsuit fits fine length-wise. I'm 5'8 and have an average torso length for my height (I think).

[Clarkgriswoldforever]

I'm 34 underband and 44 round boobs. I'm wearing a 34G but I think all my bras are shit. I used to only wear Freya and panache but I've been on a budget and buying at marksys. I now don't know whether I should but underwired or not.

I got a swim bra to go under a sporty swimsuit, I am 32 H

Star ....me too. An absolute bargain. I saw them at my gym for 35.00.

Love a half price deal

[StarSpotter]

I've got three!!

[Only1scoop]

I'm going to go and get another colour now!!

And a smaller size, for when all the swimming pays off

[5BlueHydrangea]

Are they suitable (the water gem) if you are a bit big all over?? Or just boobs?!

[Only1scoop]

I'm a bit big all over and I've sized up one size in the watergem. It fits perfectly.

They kind of give you a nice shape even if you are trying to hide a few pounds....

[Gingefringe]

I have this one from Bravissimo. I'm 36F and it's a great fit. They do have a great selection.

[ShotgunNotDoingThePans]

What's a swim bra?

[StarSpotter]

My friend is a size 20 and wears one of that's any help.

[5BlueHydrangea]

That's good thanks. I am an 18/20 too. Much as I would like not to be!

[Only1scoop]

I'm a large 14/ small 16 and went for the 18 In that Speedo design.
