Tall women, help! Should I just not use swimming pools?

[Mybobowler]

I'm 5'10". Tall, yes, but not remarkably so. All I want is to take my daughter swimming on a Sunday morning but can I find an affordable, long length swimsuit? Can I heck. I last bought one in a Boden sale, but I can't afford to shop there anymore.

I'd buy a tankini but all the shops my budget usually forces me to (supermarkets, Primark, Matalan etc) have stopped doing them. Asos Tall swimsuits are all for lounging on a beach, not dodging plasters and snot in the local leisure centre.

I've realised I'm probably going to have to spend about fifty quid (an eye-watering amount to for me) and I want to get this right. So can anyone recommend me a swimsuit (either a long-length one-piece or a tankini) that is:

Simple (ideally a dark, single colour)
Good quality
Reasonably priced

For background I'm in my early thirties, slim and not blessed with boobs. I'm also five months postpartum and feeling really horrible about my body, so I want something that'll cover everything.

Any help?!

Same problem here
I've bought tankinis from eBay (not necessarily 2nd hand) and Amazon. Both have plenty.

Been a while since I've seen a "longer length" one piece, though ☹️

Try vinted!

ASOS tall range has loads of swimming costumes

Long tall Sally are £35 but wash well according to DF and not much more expensive than Next.

I'm not that tall but I have a long torso. I have a Speedo tankini from Wiggle (iirc) which cost about £30. Would that be within your budget?

Sign up to Lands’ End and they will send out a discount code at least every 3 or 4 weeks, usually for 45% off, sometimes more.

Lands end

Thanks again everyone! I've narrowed it down to Lands End or Long Tall Sally.

The LE swimsuit you linked me to @friskybivalves is exactly what I was after, thank you! The reviews are a bit iffy though, but it might still be worth a go.

Whenever I've bought things from LTS in the past, they've come up bit too long. But they otherwise look exactly right.

I did look at proper sports brands. Zoggs say they do long torso versions, but I haven't actually seen one yet!

I'm 5' 10" and I have two just plain Speedo swimsuits - one black and one navy. They still look like new after years of use. Never had an issue with them not being long enough. Maybe they're just better being from a specialist swimsuit maker like Speedo?

I'm 5'11" with a long torso so I know the feeling. I've had a couple of really nice suits from here... I swim a couple of times a week and have found these to be great quality and nice and long in the body.

Can second Halocline... from another one like a vertical dachshund.

Vinted is where you need to look, op. I searched tall swimsuit.

I have the same problem and I've just bought myself a Speedo tankini from Vinted.

I've had a few Speedo sculpture ones off eBay cheap. And zoggs are always good, worth going up a size. And Google them, there can be huge differences in price. I've even had a couple second hand off Vinted very cheap if you don't mind that! (Often turns out they've never been worn and still have tags on)

same height. In the past I have bought halterneck ones that I tied myself and work out ok thanks to small boobs

I've just bought this one from amazon and was really impressed with the quality.
The straps are adjustable so it should fit!

Try H&M, I got a sports one and a beach one in there (I went up one size). Monki ones also come up long and they have some styles which have good coverage.

I always get a super high waist bikini, covers the worse of my mum tum

I’m 5’9” and found a lovely, very flattering tanking in Sports Direct. I find them very reasonably priced and whilst it’s a sports shop, it’s still oddly flattering. I go swimming 5 times a week and no issues- the one I bought is black with a blue stripe and £10.99. If there’s a sports direct near you I’d certainly try it as they have good reductions. GL.

Tankini sorry for typo :)

Agree.

I've got a man's rash vest from sport direct and I wear it with bikini shorts.

6ft ex GB swimmer here (a long time ago) but could always wear Zoggs, Adidas, Speedo, and most brands of competitive/ training costumes ... Usually a 38 these days, used to be a 32 and still fitted me length ways.

I'm 5'11 and find Next good for swim suits.

Also have this issue (plus large boobs🙈) and always have a nightmare.

My current swimsuit is Speedo.
