Oh god, I tried bikinis on today and it was hideous. Please help.

I'm going abroad next month on a hot holiday. My DS is 3mo and I'm breastfeeding. My boobs are huge - I have been fitted in a 30FF nursing bra. My tummy still looks like I'm about 4 months pregnant as the muscles split and are healing slowly, and he's my second, so I was already crepey. I still have my linea nigra right down the middle.

The bikinis were underwired and really uncomfortable. I tried lots of variation of sizes on. I looked awful in all of them.

I can't see anything remotely resembling my size other than at Bravissimo. However, I'll be back to normal boobage (small) next year, and also unlikely to go abroad with a 15mo old so I don't want to spaff £60+ on something that will be worn for a week.

Otherwise I'm somewhere between a 10 and a 12 (another reason nothing fits). My legs are almost transparent having not seen the sun for 4 years but they're otherwise OK.

So I need:

Cheap (ish) but not appalling material
Non wired but supportive
Not bandeau style
Happy to consider non-frumpy swimsuits / tankinis but have no idea what is / isn't nice.

Please help!

I beg to argue that cheap bikinis just don't work. Really.
