So I’m a size 16 bottom and 12 top with a wobbly Mummy tummy and a c section scar. To be fair it’s not a massive tummy but it’s got stretch marks and is a bit of a mess so I want something to pull it in.

I’m interested in high waisted bottoms - will happily wear a bikini top as well. Can anyone give me advice on where to look? I’ve decided that as I don’t care what people look like round the pool then they’re probably not interested in me either! I’m going on holiday and want to have something to swim in as well as sunbathe. I hate buying swimwear so would love any advice on good ones?

Thank you 😊

I rate For Luna and I know a lot of others on here do too! www.forluna.co.uk. Seafolly always good too but a little spendier. How much you want to spend?

I don’t mind spending a bit if it’s good stuff that won’t make me feel like a heifer! Will take a look 😊

I'm a similar shape but tall and I really like the Figleaves halter necks. They do some high waisted bottoms too

I’m 5ft 9 - will take a look 😊

Not sure if the links will work, but good choice on Asos with stardard size busts and more fuller budt tops on Airy Mary.

Any with a tummy control panel and that sells different size tops and bottoms! Really annoys me when companies only sell the same size top and pants in bikinis. I'm two sizes bigger on top than the bottom

I got a swim dress (skirted swimsuit) from Debenhams. Other retailers sell them too. Great for covering tummy!

Do the Debenhams swim dresses have tummy control do you know? Like an extra layer of fabric type of thing?
