Underwired bikinis

[Timefortea99]

I am having a hot and sunny holiday which is unusual for me, I normally do stuff rather than sit by the sea. I have recently lost a couple of stone so have started to look at bikinis. I have not bought a bikini for years and all I can find are ones without either no underwiring or with underwiring and lots of padding/moulded cups.

I want an underwired bra type with no padding. I don’t want to spend more than 25 quid on each. Do they exist or is it all padded jobs or tankinis these days? I have plenty of chest and I don’t want to add to it. And The thought of wearing that padding in heat, or wet and sopping from the water, is not what I want at all.

Any ideas?

I can only recommend Prima Donna from Rigby & Peller, which are more like £80 for a bikini top but it’s like wearing a proper bra. I’m 32F and they give amazing shape and support. Appreciate this may be too expensive though, but better to buy one very flattering bikini than two less good.

I'm a big fan of Hoola

Thanks. I am a 38 D and I assumed that I could just get a couple from the High Street. I don’t get the padded thing at all.

I know exactly what you mean. I spent a long time searching last year and finally got one in Matalan ( cup sizes and everything!). Haven't looked this year. M &s used to be great at cup sized underwired bikinis and swimsuits but alas now everything seems to be padded....

I get underwired, non-padded from Bravissimo. I'm 34GG.

Brastop is good for swimwear that fits and currently has a sale on
