Hey guys!
Some recommendations needed please!

So.. booked a weekend away with my new chap and it's got a hot tub..
I don't have ANY nice swimwear what so ever other than an unflattering tankini set Wear when I go to aqua fit.

I'm a 38/40 G bust, Small and round so don't know whether to get a high waists bikini set or a nice costume.
(Bear in mind I haven't taken my top off yet when we've had sex 🙈🙈 as I'm pretty self conscious)
Any help or ideas or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Don't want to spend a lot as I'll probably wear it a handful of times, if that 🤷🏼‍♀️

Honestly I would go for high waisted bikini
I think they are very flattering

Swimsuit with a built in bra/good support.
Not sure what clothes size you are but marks and Spencer’s has some nice pieces in store and my mums swears by simply be. I got a really nice costume from there last summer.

@Isthebigwomanhere I've been looking on ASOS and been thinking about something like these? I've attached the pictures if you can see

@UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter I'm usually an 18/20 depending what it is.
I've had a look on simply be but not really seen anything I like. I'll have a look at m&s now though

I like the stripes. I’m the same bra size but haven’t worn a bikini as I hate my tummy. If you like a bikini, go for it!

Pomgirl · 22/07/2019 15:50

www.next.com.au/en/style/st343809#517552 I have this in all colours so flattering!

JustBeenNosey · 22/07/2019 16:08

@icelollycraving I'm so tempted to order them all and then send back if I don't like. I'm really conscious about my belly too.. he says he isn't bothered by anything like that and he knows I'm self conscious blah blah which is nice. But you still get scared don't you!

@Pomgirl oooo that's nice! I'll have to see if they have it in the UK!

icelollycraving · 22/07/2019 16:16

Order them all!!

samlovesdilys · 22/07/2019 16:25

Try pour moi - they have loads with decent structure but still pretty!!

JustBeenNosey · 22/07/2019 16:32

@icelollycraving I'm gonna I think! ASOS do that Klarna where you buy now and then have 28 days to either return or pay for it so I'll do that!

OP posts:
JustBeenNosey · 22/07/2019 16:38

@samlovesdilys thanks I'll take a look!

Fantasie cup sized bikinis. Look in Belle lingerie, and Amazon plenty reduced. Fantasie bottoms are generous and depend on your jeans size, so S for 10/M for 12/L for 14.

Angbunnyboo · 22/07/2019 17:23

I second Pour Moi, I'm a size 20 and they have fantastic options.

JustBeenNosey · 22/07/2019 17:44

@Angbunnyboo I've had a quick look and it's abit more than I'm looking to pay.. unless I get a nice bikini top because I have some black high waisted bottoms at home already

OP posts:
JustBeenNosey · 22/07/2019 17:45

@SoyYo thank you! I'll take a look at these as well

@JustBeenNosey if you want to try a swimsuit, Seaspray have some lovely ones to suit all shapes & sizes they have a sale on at the moment quality is very good as well.
Yy belle lingerie very good prices.

JustBeenNosey · 22/07/2019 20:27

Bonmache do fab high waisted bikinis and that's where I usually get mine. I'm a 40E/20 bottoms

JustBeenNosey · 22/07/2019 22:15

My ASOS order has arrived! I just need to get it from the shop and then try everything on... I did order loads of dresses as well for a wedding I'm going to so I might be a while giving a review of the swimwear 🙄😂
