I need a new swimsuit and am already bored of ordering and returning a dozen. Anyone recently bought something that would fit the bill?
I’m after something with good tummy control, not halter neck or too low at the back. Ideally black, navy or striped, polka dot.
Needs to comfortably fit a large bust. I’m 5’7, very squishy tummy after 2 c-sections and 38F, size 16.
I’ve got two small children and spending the hour or so I get before bed trawling the internet for a swimming costume, to then try it and see it’s not remotely suitable for my requirements is doing my head in! TIA lovely mumsnetters 🩷

I feel your pain! I needed something comfortable that I could run around in after my three DGD's on a family holiday. I tried loads before I found this one, really comfortable, good control and cover and didn't break the bank!

I had to send that Asda one back, far too booby for me! I remember seeing that next one at the start of my hunt months ago and it was out of stock in any sensible colour 🙄 but thank you so much for reminding me, I’ll give that a go next

I've just ordered and kept two magisculpt lose an inch longer length swimsuits. I'm a size 16 clothes but ordered and am happy with an 18 in the swimsuits. It's this style with a sort of wrap bust. I ordered from next but they have them on simply be and jd Williams in prints and plain colours https://www.jdwilliams.co.uk/shop/magisculpt-lose-up-to-an-inch-swimsuit-longer-length/QS318/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=2094&optionColour=Butterfly%20Print&optionSize=10&promo=6202&gbraid=0AAAAADW1TxLRbKJDUAJ5NeVBEYggg73T&gclid=CjwKCAjw5GmBhBIEiwA5QSMxBXRUEs1HciPc-zswkIh7qgMqAihl4qySTTwbgwhWfi9bhvXELdtPRoCKU4QAvDDBwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I particularly like that it isn’t low at the back, anything with the back cut out looks gross on me and I also like to swim in it and it doesn’t move.

I’ve also had that next one too recommended by @Howmanytimes and I loved that one too.

I love the back on this one! I’ll have to order and try! Thank you ☺️

This looks good too. The first picture doesn’t look like it’ll hold much boob but the later pics look like I could give it a go!

I have one from White Stuff and one from Next

Did you find one you liked OP?

This one is amazing on larger bust as well as supportive and very flattering.

There are other colours and different designs.

Thanks! After a huge next order a few weeks ago, I went with their own black tummy control one. Was very pleased with the fit but haven’t actually used in the pool yet!
