I got a great one from Tu last year. Our swimming pool has now closed permanently though, so God knows when I'll use it now Sad

I've just bought a nice one from TU. I swim a lot and they last as well as more expensive ones.

Look for adjustable straps, tummy control and possibly ruching over the stomach area.
If you need support in the bust, consider one from a supportive brand, such as Fantasie or Panache.

Lands End have a good selection of tummy or all over control swimsuits.

This one is in the sale if you like bandeau.

I have had a few of these swimsuits. They are really elasticated and hold your tummy in. Flattering design too I think. There are always discount codes kicking around for Boden too.

I buy one of these every year from H & M, so I’ve got 6 now, they call them shaping swimsuits. The design is so flattering over tummy and bust, looks great with denim shorts or a sarong and only £25.

I’ve also ordered this one from Asda, it’s only £14, can’t comment yet because I haven’t received it, but I just loved the colour.

I think black is unflattering on pale skin. Go for brights!

mrschocolatte · 15/03/2021 15:36

Hi OP, I wore this one for years down the local pool. It was a lovely fit and held everything together - and I am extremely large of chest! I would definitely buy again.
