FFS. Has anyone bought a bikini which is normal sized?

[AllIWantInLifeisLeCreuset]

I'm a size 10, slightly bigger on the bottom, and I cannot find a bikini which isn't cut up to here

ASOS should be bloody ashamed of themselves for a start, theirs are indecent. I even bought one in John fecking Lewis and it left very little to the imagination.

Boden swimwear is excellent for my curvy/chubby size 10 bod.

Really well structured and supportive, flattering cuts etc

H&M do mix and match bikinis with big nicks that go up to your navel! About £15 for a set.

Currently wearing my TU high waisted one from last year, but it's not high cut at all. Very comfy!

Marks and Spencer although I've bought one pieces and they're the only ones that have better support and not cut high.

I imagine that I look like a 50s starlet in the oversized ones, but I really just look like I'm wearing an ancient set of gym knickers

Boden look really good, although dear... What is the sizing like? I normally take a 10 but can't really afford to waste money if they're too big/small.

M & S

Boden sizing pretty accurate, I usually size up for swimwear though. Unless they are tie sides (because of the dreaded 'digging in')!

Amazing returns, usually free too. Order 10's and 12's and just return what you don't need.

The fabrics they use are really sturdy.

And agree re high waisted bottoms. I thought I looked lovely, all Maryin Monroe. DH thought they looked bloody awful!

Can I return bottoms? I always thought you couldn't.

TK Maxx.

I too have no wish to display my labia and/or most of my bum cheeks I’m looking at you Instagram bikini brands

It's not even just Instagram. It's nearly all of the high street shops. I'm not even 30, I should be able to find a bikini on the high street that isn't indecent.

Boden looking very promising and you can return as long as the hygiene strip is still on!
