Bikini shopping

Where can I find bikini's with a very padded top half. Everything used to be firm before breast feeding and now I am left with saggy-ness and I am very self conscious of how they look :(

What's your budget,style and vague size? I have spent the last two months trying on/ordering bikinis!

Pour Moi do nice underwired padded tops and River Island have some good moulded/padded ones.
Next have a range of 2 sizes bigger tops.

Slightly more expensive but have you tried seafolly? Find the tops padded and hold everything in. Really flattering too.

I have no idea what size I am. I buy a 34c as it's the most comfortable but just isn't right. I have been measured in M and S at a 30D... I couldn't even get the two ends of the bra together to do up!!!! So that wasn't right. I have recently brought a 2 sizes bigger bra from asda which is a 34D and the band size is good but cups are slightly too small... :( budget isn't a huge problem, I'll only be buying the 1 and it will need to last until next summer. I have tried a range on from newlook, asda and primark which aren't really padded, and just look awful on me. I'll have a look in next :)

First get measured properly according to the mn method. Or go to Bravissimo.

Jack Wills do some really padded push up type ones, if you get the right colour/pattern it won't look too teenagery.

Debenhams, Debenhams, Debenhams

I bought two bikinis from there this year and they have a fantastic range and padded, supportive cups.

I am not very well endowed and the ones I bought were very flattering.

I have this one with matching bottoms and this one with matching bottoms.

Primark did a load of these last year. Haven't looked this year. I always buy cheap bikinis as they usually get trashed by sun, sun cream and salt water.

The downside to all the padding was that they get full of water in the sea and you then have to squeeze all the excess out in a most undignified manner when you get out of the water.

Bunbaker · 06/07/2014 08:45

The ones I have now don't do that. I did have one from M & S and I agree that it isn't very dignifying squeezing your boobs when you get out of the water.
