Jojomamanbebe have some nice ones for £26 which seems okay to me...they even have a bump band built in to the bottoms.

I got a couple from mothercare, they had a fairly good selection for about £25 (link)

Have a lovely holiday!

Has anyone ever found an underwired maternity tankini or swimsuit? Definitely need u/w and my normal swimsuit won't last much longer - am getting desperate!

Got my last one on ebay! Good value and lasted me for ages

I got this one & I love it - started wearing it at 14wks & am still wearing it at 37wks!

Not seen any under wired ones but as under wired is not recommended in pregnancy I doubt there would be.

I still prefer it tho so I wear a normal one and bump pops out sometimes but I keep hold of the front until I am safely hidden under the water!!

Underwired is fine as long as it's fitted properly and comfortable - you can get u/w maternity bras in lots of places. I wore u/w throughout my first pregnancy and BF for 15m with no problems so am planning to do the same again.

Maybe there's no u/w maternity swimwear because it's not such specific sizing as bras would be and/or not fitted as such, so would be harder to get a proper fit.

Will keep my eyes peeled on eBay though just in case!

I got a nice one from mamas and papas 2 years ago. Think it was about £25 which seems about standard. The bottoms are just normal really but there's plenty of extra room in the top. I wore a normal bikini until quite late on when it got ridiculous, so I can testify that the m + p one goes the distance until late PG without riding up (and I had a pretty big bump).
