Holiday booked but my bikini days are long gone. Swimsuit help required!

[TwelveLeggedWalk]

Think it's safe to say that twins and a CS have put paid to my bikini days, but we've just booked a beach holiday so I need something, ideally not a Nigella burkini.

I would quite like a retro swimming costume, nautical style, that's low on the legs and has underwiring or a bit of support around the boob region.

Best I can find is this from Boden but I don't really like the prints. Can you help me, o wise SnB shoppers?!

I have the roll top bikini bottoms, they are great because they come up as high as you like (to stuff the CS overhang into!).

I do know what you mean about constant bending over though, so I have bought a pair of short towelling shorts from ASOS for those occasions.

Try TKMaxx- they have Gottex, Lea Gotlieb, etc- www.tkmaxx.com/women/womens-swimwear-/icat/0711

I have this Boden swimsuit and it has had a lot of compliments

That's the one I've got, in a lighter blue. Only thing I don't like is the removable padding in the bust which I find rolls / folds up whenever i put it through the washing machine. Probably ok if you handwash though.

I've never washed mine so it's not been a problem. I just rinse after use.

Apparently you aren't meant to put washing machines in the washing machine. They should be rinsed in cold water andyou can also use shampoo/shower gel that is recommended for swimming.

Oh and they die very quickly if you use them in hot tubs.

that should have read put swimming costumes in the washing machine

Kiss me deadly have a swimwear range. Google them- they're an amazing brand!
