Hi has anyone found a flattering bikini for a pear shape? I'm 5' 9 and 8-10 on top size 12 bottom. I've tried a few on but they barely covet my bum 🙄 Thanks

I'm about the same proportions as you and generally find a good old tie at the side style is best, think you'd call it a triangle bikini. Lots of them have removable padding in the top. Best bikinis I've found this year are from Primark! They also sell tops n bottoms separately so you can size up/down accordingly. And with side tie you can size up to get the bum coverage you want! Monsoon bikinis I've found to be decent coverage, H&M bottoms are tiny Shock

Thank you for replying 😊 I was considering this one www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_064020280080_-1 plenty of bum coverage but the gaps may minimise my hips??

Ooh I’m a tall pear and I bought this top and these bottoms. Navy and white striped top with red straps and navy bottoms.
Rationale was to use interest on top and very sleek bottoms to balance out my figure. Was dubious but it works!
Oh and I didn’t think I was an extreme pear shape but I ended up with size 10 top and size 14 bottoms.

Oh I love the Boden ones - very pretty! Thanks for your suggestions both!

Ooh nice Boden one peony. OP Love the top of the Debenhams one, think its a great shape for smaller bust, but personally I wouldn't go for such a high waisted bottom. IMHO more fabric area sometimes makes the area it's covering look bigger, on me anyway! And think simple shape on bottom draws less attention.
