Low-cut leg, plus size swimming costume

19 replies

Just that. Does anyone know where can I find plus size cozzy that is low cut at the crotch .... not shorts but not cutting you in half and showing most of your crotch! With a large apple shaped body, and worse and apron belly, I find high leg swim suits look pretty indecent on me... flashing loads of flesh in the wrong places.

I have a couple of tankinis from Curvy Kate. Bottoms are low cut on the leg but high waisted.

I am plus sized and pretty round. I have a suit from Batoko that is cut well in terms of leg and boob coverage. I also tried on an M&S costume (from their Good Move range) that was well cut recently; I just didn’t get on with the neckline.

My best costume is actually Adidas - but I’m a length swimmer, and you might be looking more for the beach. I rate City Chic for good supportive beachwear - unsurprisingly for an Aussie brand they are good at swimmers.

I got a black, fairly low cut leg, vneck costume from Sainsburys. I was surprised at how good it is for £16. Keeps my stomach constrained too.

ASDA ?
I have a great what I call “ school cossie “ black with a bit of piping. Covers your bum. Low legs , stays put when I do aqua.
I think they are pretty size inclusive.

Is this for swimming or for holidays / sunbathing / beach? For a proper lap swimming cozzie I have a nice one from Zoggs. For general wear my favourite is from a US brand called Summersalt ( although I bought in the sale). I have tried on Evans swimwear which seemed OK. The Next one I have does t have enough bust support which is a shame. I also tried Cupshe but via Amazon( so there’s no problem with the returns which you otherwise pay for).

All of those really. Firstly holiday Beach, sea swimming and secondly lane swimming but not so often.
Thanks I will have a look at all of these.

Does the tankini top ride up or does it stay well put? I like the sound of this.

These are what I wear. You have to get them from America but they are very good.

I struggled with the same problem recently. Ordered, tried and returned so many costumes. If they fitted on top they were huge below and flapped about at the back, yet really skimpy in front crotch area.

This is going to sound really weird, but I solved the problem with a black M&S tummy control swimsuit in a size to fit on the bust. Then I wear a pair of thin black knickers underneath. They are stretchy lycra style and indistinguishable from the costume once on, yet give much more coverage and make me feel much more secure. They were a twin pack from Asda, - about £8.

@SpringSummerDreamer that's genius!

Thanks everyone. Loads of great suggestions.

I've bought a couple of costumes from SeaFancy recently - a one piece and a tankini and they're good quality and look nice.
