Swimwear with more coverage

21 replies

I can't seem to find what I'm after. Can anyone help?

I'm ideally after a two piece swimwear with crop top and shorts, or one piece with more of a shorts style.

I want more coverage of the top of leg crease area, because I'm lazy with hair removal!!! Cba to do loads just to take the kids to the pool.

Try SeaFancy

Or Decathlon

Try SeaFancy

I see their adverts on Facebook and like the style! But people seem to say the quality isn't great and items have not arrived. Still a bit tempted though.

Have you tried them @Phineyj

Cupshe seem to be good, great sale prices

I got a couple of Swim dresses from Simply Be for my last holiday - good coverage & not too pricey

Jellycatrabbit · 20/07/2023 16:47

I found a few on Amazon, searching womens swim shorts and modest swimwear. Wasn't organised enough to get them before my holiday though.

I too have heard poor reviews of Seafancy so avoided even though it looks like just the thing!

Yes, I've got a one piece and a two piece and they're fine. Perfectly OK for the price.

There are lots of new with tags sea fancy on Vinted because it's a ball ache to return them apparently

I've got a slazenger one which I love here (Be warned, it comes up quite big, mine is a size down from what I'd normally take.)

There was a long thread about this a couple of months ago.

I was tempted by the Seafancy but was put off by the recent thread. I have the Decathlon swimsuit mentioned above in plain navy and it is actually quite elegant on and very comfortable. I also have a Speedo which is sportier. I'd wear the Decathlon one on holiday but not the Speedo (unless wanting to crack out loads of lengths).

Yep. This is my criteria when choosing swimwear!

I have had this Seafolly one for ages...

This year I bought a tankini top...

But bought shorts like this to go with it rather than the matching bottoms...

Hiddiddleyho · 20/07/2023 19:03

@Phineyj sorry another question, do the sea fancy suits fit true to size or should I go up a size? I'm a 10.

I've just ordered off Meet Curve but it seems to come from the US and now won't be here in time for my holiday!!

Did you try the navy as well as the black? Keep an eye out as they may well restock

ZolaBudd · 20/07/2023 21:51

Boden sale

I usually go for Zoggs or Speedo legsuits and go up a size so comfortable rather than skin tight. Worth looking on ebay & Vinted for brand new at reasonable price (I have paid between £9.99 & £16.99).
