On the basis there are a billion different type of bra, why can designers not give more choice with swimwear?

I know I could get something online but I really wanted to try it on. I went to M&S to look for a swimsuit to support my 38E boobs. Not the biggest boobs in the world but they do need support.

There was NO swimwear with cup sizes!!!

There was barely any choice at all.

I want

  • underwired
  • good straps that can be altered
  • not too revealing on the legs

If I wanted a bikini I would want underwired bra with a choice of knickers or shorts.

And I want it all to be reasonably priced.

Why can designers not do this?

Marks are crap. Try John Lewis or bravissimo. Freya or panache.

Spent a day at an American water park today - there were all shapes and sizes and the variety of swimwear was amazing - lots of women wearing swim skirts and shorts - very few wearing the skimpy bikinis that seem to dominate the uk high street.

Second the Freya/panache suggestion
Although I just typed your size and bikini/swimsuit into Ebay and there are loads. I got a brand new with tags panache bikini for £19

Americans amazingly prim though. Once you hit 30 you aren't a woman you are a "mom "

Yup agree. I bought on eBay.

Rabid · 10/06/2012 11:41

Just bought myself a nice one on figleaves. They do up to J cup and you can get a different size bottom to the bikini top. They've got 20% off atm.
