10 weeks after csection... help me find forgiving swimwear

7 replies

WonderWoop · 21/04/2023 19:28

Had second baby just over two months ago and going away in two weeks time.. it was my second section and I have a sizeable overhang... need some help finding a swimsuit that will somehow hide it a bit or pull me in?

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

I would definitely look for high waisted style bikinis they really pull you in. Also embrace your new body it's grown your two beautiful babies

Ah thanks but covered in stretch marks right now, it's definitely a one piece!

I have a Batoko which feels great on, even with my new giant breast feeding boobs! Think it must be double lined or something because it sort of smooths everything out. Their Instagram is good for showing off different body types.

@HannahSpanna thanks, I see what you mean, I will take a look in Asda!
@bravotango had never heard of that brand but they're so pretty. Might order and hope they have good holding power!

M&S also have one with tummy control panel but I am still in a fair bit of pain so wanted something flowy ish rather than shapewear. Hth x

@Bringmecaffeine I see where you're going with that!! Not sure it's me although it would hide a multitude of sins. This is a UK hol but gonna abroad in the autumn so it might work for that. Thanks!

Saw the M&S ones, they're probably what I need
