To ask about plus sized swimwear

[bridgetreilly]

Looking for a one piece, size 22, that looks like you can actually swim in it, but also doesn’t look like an old lady costume. Definitely no skirt or frills. Lots of places seem to be sold out, full of strictly sunbathing sexy suits, or ££££.

Any ideas, before I end up on the nudist beaches only this summer?

Try Asos and Yours and even George at Asda. I’m the same size as you and I’ve seen a few there that are pretty nice.

have you tried asos curve, simply be or curvissa? have had good swimwear from all these

Tesco usually have pretty decent “functional” swimwear, and go to a 22

In The Style have some nice ones.

Also George at Asda.

Tu at sainsburys is my go to

Landsend, but look for discount codes first, or browse and log in but don’t complete the purchase - they might then send you a code!

I've had quite a lot of luck on eBay. I just make sure to switch the 'new', 'item location - UK only' and 'returns accepted' filters on. Try with and without bra size.

I have one of these and it is great, M&S used to do an almost identical one.

I looked at Sainsburys but didn’t see anything I liked. Will try Tesco and Asda and other suggestions, thanks.

Asos mostly seemed to be all sexy cutouts which I am not looking for!

Oh, should have said, I can’t wear black. It makes me look as though I’ve died. This does limit quite a lot of options!

I have several of the same model (in different prints) from Simply Be. I really like them and they're good value.

Also love Primadonna if you're looking to splurge; it's £££.

Amazon!
They have a good range of both one and two pieces.
I'm a 24 and wear shorts and a T-shirt style top to swim in. Bought for £20 ish on Amazon and have stood up to alternate daily use well.

@Whiteclaw thank you for the Le Redoute link. Have found a gorgeous green polka dot one there. Hooray!

Brastop have one pieces. Also worth checking out the Bravissimo site to see if there's any on sale.

I got a size 22 deep blue and white with a control panel on the front in Tesco. It's very comfortable, doesn't ride up and is easy to get on and off

Matalan do good swimwear that actually covers your bum. I got a tankini set, I'm an 18. Best too look online and get it delivered.

Next. Had 3 from there which are lovely patterned!

Next seemed to be out of stock in my size in every one I looked at!

Decathlon would be well worth a try.

I was going to suggest a tankini set I got from matalan, but its black! When on- it looks like a one piece but has the beauty of getting bottoms off easily for a wee! Don't think I'll ever get a onesie again. I'm a GG cup and even without a wire, its very supportive. Here is the link- incase someone else might be interested:

Boden. I bought this one recently and it’s lovely (although it is £70): www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/halterneck-u-bar-swimsuit-black/sty-s0204-blk?cat=C1_S2_G17

I haven't bought swimsuits but I like a lot the plus size dresses I've had from Boohoo. They seem to have a fairly good range.

Bon marche. Do nice costumes in larger sizes. Worth a look

I recommend leg suits, stops any gap around the bikini area

Bravissimo!
