I mean come on. Nothing This pic being one of many.
Are all boden women flat chested?

Wrong. I’m a 32G and love the Santorini swimsuit from Boden. They have it in a long size as well and it’s next to impossible to find a swimsuit for boobs AND a long body.

Floydthebarber · 29/03/2022 23:49

I am flat chested if I lie on my back. They merge into my back fat.

Fidodidit · 29/03/2022 23:49

I was looking at Boden swimwear earlier but moved on swiftly as to me it looked like you needed boobs for most of it. I’d rather have board shorts and a rash vest though, hate feeling exposed.

Welcome home @iCod Grin

I’ve never looked at their swimwear but might now because I am quite lacking in boobs.

Oooh will have to check them out seeing as following a double mastectomy, I literally have no tits! 😁

They're all different you know.

I had a look at the Boden swimwear and all the women wearing it looked lovely and they all plainly had breasts, in line with all adult human females - unless, like a PP, you have had a double mastectomy. Strange thread.

Most of my swimwear is from Boden and I'm an E cup. They do a lot of bikini tops in bra sizes. Sounds like they are catering to all.

PurpleDaisies · 30/03/2022 07:57

None of the cup size bikini tops comes in an E cup.

PurpleDaisies · 30/03/2022 08:02

Sorry, I have just spotted a random 34E. I guess you’re in luck if that’s your size.

Montague22 · 30/03/2022 09:09

‘I mean come on. Nothing’
Aghast that you’ve even typed that. It’s so blinkered to your own body type.
That isn’t slating the swimwear. It’s suggesting that most women have bigger breasts. There are plenty of smaller chested women.

Stumpedasatree · 30/03/2022 09:31

Sadly my boobs are smaller than the Boden models!

ExConstance · 30/03/2022 09:35

I'm quite flat chested and I like Boden swimwear. I'm not offended by the OP. My big gripe with fashion in general is that dresses and skirts are so long in standard sizes, and although I'm not really short - 5'3" not much I buy does not have to be altered. Boden do Petite sizing so an extra vote for that.

@MalagaNights

I have long thought it weird Boden haven't embraced the under wired bra sized swimwear genre a la Freya and Bravissimo.

Most Boden customers are middle aged and likely to need a bit more 'structure' than 2 triangles on a string.

All their clothes: for 45 year old mothers.

Their swimwear: for lithe 18yr olds.

Agree. I ordered a swimsuit and it was v nice and a good fit everywhere but the bust, where it squashed me so much I had enormous cleavage and bulges under my arms. They do tall suits, so I am surprised that they don’t do a larger bust version. As a tall person with a full bust I can never get a swimsuit to fit.

Now I am interested, Does it fit you well ? I am a similar size, 28H bra.
Zazdar · 30/03/2022 09:48

Boden generally does nothing for me but I would (and could) wear some of their mix and match string bikinis. There are some swimsuits that look like they would fit too. The Merano, for example.

Just remember OP that by coming back to MN you run the risk that the majority of posters won't remember you and therefore won't 'get' your posting style

I knew Cod many years ago now. Didn't know this was the same poster? They had a distinctive writing style.
HardRockOwl · 30/03/2022 16:15

@sofiasa it's the same poster. Announced their return the other day.

Welcome back Codders - you need to put 'lighthearted' everywhere it seems even in the old S&B Wink

S&B usually aims to be supportive of women’s different body types in my experience — it is one reasons I enjoy it. So it is the last place to put a post about women with ‘no tits’ and expect a warm reception.

Oh! I must have missed an announcement. I wouldn't have recognised going from this thread at all.

Herani · 30/03/2022 20:48

I do often wonder if some people exist in a permanently offended state….Hmm
I agree regarding their bikinis - had to send three back recently. I’m a size 8-10 (B cup) sized up to 12 based on recommendation, and it was so tight and flattening it looked ridiculous. Would have looked beautiful on someone with an A cup.
