Bikini top for very sad looking bust

6 replies

Janch13 · 11/01/2026 09:32

I am on the hunt for some bikini tops for my upcoming family holiday. I have extremely small (a cup) and saggy breasts and being in a bikini makes me feel SO self conscious.

Where is best to shop for padded bikini tops? Are there any specialist brands for people with breast issues for example if they have had a mascetemy etc? This is not me but my sad little boobs are so small and saggy that I am interested to shop in a specialist store/brand to find a bikini tops that can make me feel confident.

I usually wear triangle cup string bikinis because I like that they can be adjusted to fit (and the bottoms) but I am open to all options as long as they can give me a bit of confidence.

Happy to spend as long as it meets the brief of making me feel good by the pool.

size wise I am size 8-10, larger on the bottom half than the top.

Thanks

Hi.
Same here and was too scared to do any surgeries, padded halter necks are really good! I brought one from Elle sport but the main thing is to try before you buy. Next sell lots of different brands and you can try in store. Or https://www.pourmoi.co.uk/swimwear/bikinis/#sort=price_descending
to be fair I like tankinis as they add more volume overall.

I can’t recommed a shop but a proper bra style binki top will look so much better. Use the boob or bust website to work out your size.

Visit Bravissimo or an independent bra retailer. If you're anywhere near Bristol or Bath I can recommend one.

Small boober here!
Can't recommend a shop (I used to live in Spain so picked up bargains along the way)
But I suggest you try some surfer style tops, halter necks are flattering and there are some really cute sporty shaped tops with funky patterns (often with matching shorts/bottoms)
Maybe try Quicksliver or Roxy, Billabong, Rip Curl. Order a few different styles for delivery and try on at home.
