Help! Tankini or swimsuit for teen girl-and not £50

22 replies

IveGotBillsTheyreMultiplying · 03/06/2018 16:32

Have just had a fruitless internet search for a tankini/swimsuit for teen daughter age 13 30C or size 6ish.

She doesn't like 'young' styles eg unicorns, icecream, slogan type things. I can find some ok ones but often expensive considering she'll grow out of it quickly.

Anyone fancy 'shopping' for me and her?

Sorry link didn’t work but they had loads in size 6 several plain but a few patterned

DD got two from H&M

Can you get to a shop? They look less skimpy IRL than they do on the website

Gizlot

Sports direct looks good, thanks. The link didn't work but some nice tankinis and better prices.

H and M haven't got much in 6 or extra small but thanks anyway.

It's that hard age between too babyish and too grown up.

Not cheap, but DD has her eye on Hollister. I’m hoping they have a sale sometime before August. She’s a 6 and the XS fitted well.

I quite like the traditional sport/swimwear brands for this in-between age, like this Adidas one. Also, Surfdome have some nice things, although some of the tankini tops tend to be more of a rash vest style.

Some of the women’s sizes start at a 6 as well.

FaithEverPresent · 03/06/2018 22:28

I have this slazenger takini in the purple and the blue! Comfy, available in size 6 and bargain price.

IveGotBillsTheyreMultiplying · 03/06/2018 22:31

Some great suggestions to show dd tomorrow thanks.

ASOS have some lovely swimsuits in a size 6. They start from £14.

Please make sure you fully check all of the views though, as some of them reveal a bit too much arse in my opinion for a girl of your Daughter’s age!

I haven’t been to Primark for ages, but they usually have really well designed swimwear at really good prices, and start at a size 4. They’ve always lasted me a long time too. You could buy one and save lots of money, or 2 or 3 and your DD could switch between styles.

This is a good website for swimming costumes- there are hundreds to choose from... for training, competing and leisure swimmers.

Do you think i should post it again just to make sure???
( have reported myself, hopefully they'll remove excess)

Got my DD ( same age and stats!) sorted with a nice high waisted bikini via Tesco Direct online. Had to get 32B though.
And a plain black swimsuit for school from Next, ladies size 8 as she's tall but they also do a 6. £18.

SoulCal brand which are sold on eBay and Sports Direct have some nice swim dresses. They have bikinis with decent sized tops and matching swim skirts. My DD 12 isn’t interested in them unfortunately. Still a total tomboy. Might just get one for myself.
