Good swim suits for menopause apple body?

I have some lovely Next suits that are now a bit snug but everything I order just emphasise them roundness of my tummy. I know I can't hide it as such but any good suit recommendations to at least be comfortable and not too obvious would be great. Big boobs and big lower round tummy; what a joy 🙈

I just bought a tummy control swim dress off Amazon. Looks like SimplyBe have some as well.

Not an expert, but imo I would look for ruching around the middle as it fools the eye and prints rather than plain. Some kind of detail, like a belt can also disguise as well as looking for a suit which draws the eye to say, cleavage - knock 'em out with your boobs kind of thing. Clever seaming/panelling is also something to look for. I'm not convinced any amount of tummy support will do much for an apple shaped tummy (I speak from experience). They're ok for a bit of flab which needs firming, but you can end up looking a bit squished - like Spanx under clothes.

I have a great past season one from Boden. This is the closest in the current stock:

I saw a plus size vlogger recommending maternity tankinis for this. Makes sense I suppose?

This is really comfortable and very flattering on a tum, from M & S...
