Bikini with bum coverage

11 replies

Paraballa · 20/05/2019 21:22

I need a bikini and cannot find one that will properly cover my bum and tum without being over my tummy button or really low cut legs.

I just want reasonable coverage and a crop top style top.

I found one on Figleaves but it's permanently out of stock in all but really big sizes. I'm a 12/14 currently with D cup boobs.

Any suggestions?

Try Pour Moi or Moontide.

I’m also looking for something similar. High waisted bottoms don’t do anything for me but the alternative is having my white arse hanging out, should I want something cut a bit lower...Blush

Try low rise short or skort bottoms.

I would like something with a high waist, high leg and with very brief bum coverage. Not as brief as a thong but so it doesn’t look as if I’m wearing granny’s knickers from the back. That is harder still!

Starlight I hear you! I need something to cover my mum tum but a briefer brief makes my arse look much smaller.

I have started wearing the roll top bikini bottoms from M & S as you can roll them up and down depending on your, erm, position. You can also roll them so they are more up at the front than the back IYSWIM?

They have matching tankini tops OP and might suit you? This sort of thing

How is your sewing? You could always buy a bigger size and then take them in at the crotch and side seams.

@cuppycakey - Thank you. I’ll take a look. I don’t have any trouble buying knickers which fit and have brief bum coverage but I feel personally neglected when it comes to swimwear!

@Pinkyyy - sew lycra? I know my limitations. I’d probably end up on the beach with just one bum cheek and half my tummy sticking out!

A couple of years ago I discovered Board Short Bikinis... why did it take me so long?!?!!
Google them, they are now easily available (even Boden) and Decathlon does a very affordable range.
For me they are WAY more flattering and comfortable than any other bikini bottom

Maybe not a good idea then Grin

wildhairdontcare · 21/05/2019 19:21

Pour moi fold over brief any good?

Paraballa · 18/06/2019 18:34

Thanks for all the suggestions. I actually don't like shorts, rankings, or foldover briefs Blush

Looks like what I want doesn't exist.
