Maternity Swimwear for the big busted

7 replies

FluffyJawsOfDoom · 25/04/2012 14:00

I wondered if anyone knew any maternity swimwear that is suitable for the larger busted, or which comes in specific cup size?

I'm a size 12-14 and a 34FF which isn't massive but I've just tried on some maternity swimwear and almost all of it has defined cups (i.e. seams, maybe a bit of padding) which I just can't squeeze my norks into Blush

Thanks :)

I've been looking for a cheap tankini top as I'm hoping to have a water birth.

Spotted this on Tesco's site which might tick your boxes: www.clothingattesco.com/swimwear/zoggs-maternity-plain-tankini-and-brief-set/invt/cz211318/&bklist=icat,4,shop,catgholidayshop,womens-holiday-shop

I've seen a few threads on this over the last few months and I have to say I haven't seen anything that great. I'm a 34G and this was what I ended up buying - it was still quite low cut, but managed to withstand swimming lessons with my toddler!

I am a 30gg normally, but - but bigger in pregnancy ESP towards the end. I ended up wearing a normal bikini, but with a vest top over to cover the belly and stretch arks. I didn't swim all that often so this worked for me at no extra cost.

36F here, I got the 'Holly' tankini from Figleaves which was a bit pricy but has done me well so far. I too was falling out of anything I tried on on the high street, mamas and papas swimsuits seemed to be particularly plunging necklines!

I am a size 12-14 too and 36FF/G on top. I got this www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+navy-rose-halter-neck-maternity-tankini-in-swimwear+B4553 and can wholeheartedly recommend it.

There is a good firm under bust elastic bit which keeps them up and I found it really comfortable and it looked nice as well. I got a size M. There is a 10% off thing on partner discounts for Jojo as well

Thanks everyone!

I had ordered something from Mamas and Papas but it was a bit small overall and the below-boob seam literally crossed my nipple-line! I've ordered a bigger size to see if I can get my boobs in it :)

Have also ordered the JojoMaman ladygagoo - it looks really nicely made, with the big tankini bottoms?

Hopefully one of those will fit! :)

I am a 30J so you can imagine my efforts with maternity swimwear. I have always worn a tankini (with built in bra) from Bravisimo and found that it did fine to cover my pregnant bump. The top is quite long and stretchy.
