Flattering, plain black bikini

[Paws09]

I’m looking for what appears to be the holy grail, a black bikini that actually gives you a decent shape?

So far I’ve tried m&s, John Lewis but not much is available in my size. I’ve ordered from Cupshe in the past but found returning items difficult, which is annoying as with swimwear it’s hard to tell what will fit and I would rather order a lot and send most back! I don’t really like string bikinis or tiny bottoms.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I’m a size 8/10, with medium to large boobs, would prefer separates as sometimes I’m bigger on top.

Have you looked at Toco? Pricey but I got one in the sale and would never look back, one pieces and 2 pieces. So buttery soft and really last.
Some of the bottoms are very cheeky (think that's how they started) but they do some more full coverage.
I have bigger boobs and a similar size to you and some of their tops are perfect for support and not risking a nip slip 🤣

Asos usually have a lot of options especially in black

I recently got this in the light blue. It’s so so nice on but size up!

ASOS also have a really good range.

I just got a nice one from Freya, tried loads on but the Freya one is the only one that looks ok!

Have a look on Shein. Loads of choice!

i got this in red last year and it's the comfiest bikini with the best uplift ever - i even wore it was a bra sometimes last year on hol as it is comfier than any bra i've ever worn

Thanks everyone I’m going to order the H&M one and look at Freya. I don’t want to order from Shein really as I find their business model quite unethical. I think I’ve exhausted all possibilities on ASOS although I did get a nice figleaves swimsuit there!

Pour Moi have a good range and separates so you can order your bra size. Really easy to return too.

Mint Velvet have nice cup size bikini separates at the moment. 20% off this weekend too.

I bought this bikini top in red and the fold top bottoms last year. Really comfortable, and the fold top bottoms are great for extra coverage with the inevitable paunch when sitting

I have this one OP
