Underwired swimsuits - not too pricey

[Tiredmum21]

I'm off on holiday in July and think it's been about 10 years since I bought a swimsuit

Any suggestions of where i could buy an underwired swimsuit for around £40 or under? I'm a 36F and just can't be dealing with those ones with padded cups - just feels like there isn't enough support and my boobs are down by my waist! I've checked out M&S, Tu and Asda...

Freya and Curvy Kate both do proper underwired support in large cup sizes. You can get past season stuff on eBay reasonably cheaply. I normally get one of their tankini tops in a pattern and then any old bottoms in a matching colour.

This isn’t the budget or exactly what you asked, but Elomi has a swim bra. I’ve found it can work with lots of suits. Sometimes it is hidden completely, sometimes it peaks out and can actually look intentional. I’ve found oddly patterned versions of the bra on good sales before and those actually work nicely for pairing with a relatively plain cheap swimsuit and not worrying if you can see the pattern. I’ll travel with one swim bra and a couple of suits. The bra might be a bit damp, but it’s not the same as putting on a damp swimsuit.

Thank you for the suggestions - @Ponderingwindow I had no idea swim bras every existed! Am looking at a couple now!

Bravissimo

Thank you @RitaFaircloughsWig those looks great!

I spent money on swim bras, then realised I could have just worn an old bra under my tankini/swimsuit and chucked it at the end of the holiday!
