To think there is no flattering swimwear for the larger lady

I've scoured the Internet and I cannot find what I'm looking for.

Currently 9months into breastfeeding and 16 stone (down from 20 since birthing the baby, so that's a bonus).

Going on holiday next week and am in total denial about my size. Nothing looks right, nothing looks like it can cover all my sins so I anticipate hiding inside, beneath sarongs and towels, baking and perspiring for the entirety of the holiday.

DP suggestion? "Ask Mumsnet".

So I'm asking: where does a 16 stone breastfeeding large boobed lop-sided (baby only feeds from the right breast) large thigh'd large with an overhang mama, find flattering swimwear?

AIBU in saying the task is an impossible task?


If you've found this page in search of swimwear that has been tried and tested by fellow Mumsnet users, you might find our guide to the best swimsuits for women useful. Hope this helps! MNHQ

@bloodyplanes but tummy control panels just add weight and thickness which is uncomfortable, hot and not going to actually fool anyone into thinking that the OP is a size 10. I'm on holiday now and the larger person I noticed most was the one who left her towel by the edge of the pool, wrapped herself in it the second she got out and then did an incredibly awkward maneuver to get a cover up on asap without letting go of the towel. If she'd just stridden confidently over to her lounger, towelled off and laid down, wouldn't have noticed her at all.
