Big girl bikini problems

[misty85]

I am really struggling to find a decent swimming costume/bikini for my size 🙈
I'm actively losing weight just now through eating healthy and exercise... that doesn't help as I'm going on a mini break with a guy I've been dating for 2 months now...
I'm a size 18 and my breasts have basically deflated since having 3 kids it's so hard to find something for my size to look flattering that doesn't have a smaller cup size!! This is making me so nervous and I feel awful anytime I try something on... I've tried all the usual plus size places like simplybe boohoo ect.... I was so excited for this now I just feel so scared to show my body in daylight... he's only seen my body in the dark. The fear of it is ruining my confidence so much

You might be better getting this moved to style and beauty where it will receive more traffic

I agree this would be better on the S&B section in terms of responses.

Remember, you’ve been together 2 months, he knows exactly what you look like naked. Darkened rooms are not pitch black.

Aside from this, it’s a case of try on, try on and try on. Cupshe might be a good starting point. It’s also worth looking at Swimwear 365 and John Lewis.

I’m a top heavy 36F, so finding the right bikini or cossie is not fun.

Try looking at cup size swimwear, where you can buy separates rather than dress sizes for the whole thing.

High waisted bikinis can be flattering but avoid anything with too excess bum coverage because that makes you look bigger. Possibly try sizing down on the bottoms.

Enjoy your break OP.

Matalan, they regularly do an underwired flattering black bikini top in bra sizing and a choice of matching bottoms, they look good, even in my big sizing.

Pour moi. You can order different size tops and bottoms to suit your shape.
