Bikini for swimming

11 replies

Suprima · 20/09/2022 13:19

Just started to take baby swimming and not enjoying the slimy one-piece that I picked up in sainsburys with the shopping, and my old bikinis are too insubstantial for BF boobs.

Can anyone recommend a good swim bikini that will stop my nips falling out, and be solid enough for my own swimming and paddle boarding?

Jack Wills of all places had some lovely ones- high waisted with a crop top style bikini top, but they don’t have my size combination for top/bottom. (Some lovely swimwear if you need some bits of holiday on there!)

I have also seen lululemon and speedo have what I’m looking for- but ideally don’t want to pay £80.

Did you ever find anything @Suprima ?

Decathlon has some good bikins for swimming.

For proper swimming I wear a soft non-wired sports bra as a bikini top (34G) and pick up contrast bikini bottoms in the sale

@Whataretheodds doesn’t the chlorine damage a regular sports bra?

I find their sizes quite skimpy, have you tried the bikinis?

@AmberPig it's pretty similar fabric and the one I used I've used since 2017. Admittedly not looking smart how but lasts longer than the bikini bottoms.

I've started using lycra gym wear for swimming as they look pretty identical. Comfortable sports bra and short shorts.

Otherwise I have an adidas bikini but the top is more of a string triangle so you have to keep an eye on it while swimming.

I buy freya bikini tops - they come in proper bra sizes and I find a really good fit. I then just mix and match with a pair of substantial short style bottoms from somewhere like decathlon/sports direct.

have a look at Alpkit sturdy bikini tops and bottoms sold seperately.

Finisterre looks good, some on sale, sizes 8-22
