Just realised I need to buy a bikini! Any recommendations for mail order?

We go on holiday next week and I have had the horrible realisation that I need to buy a bikini and probably don’t have time to shop for one.

Hoping not to spend more than £30. I’m a size 8-10 (nearer an 8) but tummy is not the slightest bit toned so I need something that won’t dig in. Any suggestions please?

Answering as I’m struggling too Smile

Figleaves is excellent, I always buy from there.

Asos.

do you need a bra sized one, or are your boobs standard sized.
Im pretty sure if youre a standard 8/10 youve possibly got your pick of most of the bikinis available in any store

Another vote for Figleaves - good stuff and quick delivery.

I just bought a nice one from monsoon sale

I’ve just stumbled across www.lingerieoutletstore.co.uk as they had a very good deal on one set that I was looking for. V good service as well, although I couldn’t exchange a size; had to send back and reorder which was fine in the grand scheme of things

Thanks all, no, boobs are smallish so no need for bra sizing although do need some support!

I find Ted Baker bikinis fit really well.

Calzedonia bikinis are good quality and not expensive (even cheaper now as sale has started on most stock). Great variety of styles and very pretty colours and designs.

Oysho.com. I just discovered them, as I'm also off next week and needed new swimwear.

They have a sale on at the moment. It's from the same parent company as Zara. Super-fast delivery and decent quality.

Topshop has a nice selection right now

If you don’t mind cheap or that ‘Instagram aesthetic’ - pretty little thing has some nice ones. I haven’t ordered from them before but a few have caught my eye! Also try Oh Polly, they have really nice bathing suits but they are on the very sexy side
