Recommend me a swimsuit please!

I've had a little look online but not seen one I like yet. Can you help please?

It's for a family holiday in UK where swimming will be essential.

I prefer a one-piece but would consider a tankini.

I'm a small-busted size 10/12 and short.

'Traditional' swimsuits - think Speedo - aren't me, and I also prefer one with a tummy control panel.

Inspire me please! Give me something to look forward to!

Thanks you lovely lot x

Have a look at the Pour Moi range, really lovely.

Enjoy your hols

Justmuddlingalong · 16/04/2021 17:44

Pour moi have some real bargains on Amazon atm.

mammmamia · 16/04/2021 18:21

Pour moi is lovely but unfortunately didn’t fit me.

I bought one last year from Primark too and it was amazing. So flattering and a brilliant blue colour. It was a bit low cut for my liking so I just stitched it up a bit and it was perfect.

It's not ridiculous to want to feel good.

I agree you do feel exposed and I'm desperate to find one I feel comfortable in. Might be pushing 'good' atm but I've lost a stone and hoping for another 1 1/2.

I'm going to look at suggestions here.

clarehhh · 16/04/2021 20:07

I agree Boden are best.

M&S or H&M.

@Johnnyboy94609- you’d get better traffic if you start a thread of your own, in chat.

This one’s about swimming costumes Wink.

Imissmoominmama · 17/04/2021 09:34

I’ve just bought this one from Deakin and Blue. Definitely size up in their costumes though. There was a discount code available if you signed up to the mailing list, so I paid £117. To feel less lumpy in my menopausal body, it was worth the money. I wore, with shorts, it to go paddleboarding the other day, and felt good!

Recommend me a swimsuit please!
Imissmoominmama · 17/04/2021 09:35

I wore it, with shorts... 🙄

I swim a lot and can heartily recommend Sainsburys TU range- they really last and are very good value and flattering

invisibleoldwoman · 17/04/2021 13:43

I’ve bought the Boden one recommended up thread. Fingers crossed. Mainly I want one that is not a high cut leg or low cut front.

HeronLanyon · 17/04/2021 13:51

Swimwear365 - friends have bought bikinis and I’ve bought rash vests and beach stuff. Always found them to have great choice and easy returns policy. As for quality all seems fine so far.

Invisablewoman · 17/04/2021 13:52

Following and sorry to hijack but do the BodenSad suitable give good bust support? I'm a 32G/size
10. I have one with an inbuilt bra but feel really frumpy in it. Sad

Invisablewoman · 17/04/2021 13:53

*suits

The one I have is from Bravissimo.

Nonmaquillee · 17/04/2021 14:00

I second any Boden recommendations - have had a couple for a few years and they last really well.
