Help please, I've hunted high and low and cannot find anything that secures my massive boobs ( H cup) and also makes me less self conscious about my thighs.
I need something that's obviously swimwear ( It's the law in France) but flattering to my mum tum, fat arse and massive boobs.
Please hit me with swimwear that makes you feel confident!

Budget about £50.

This is a really great swimsuit that does wonders for massive boobs. It's really comfy and secure, and not too high leg. I'd drape a sarong around if you're concerned about bum/ thigh coverage as you're walking around.
Unfortunately it's a bit above the budget as prices have gone up so much recently - if you happen to be a student you can get a discount though.

disclaimer: I don't have big boobs so I can't advise on that. But I'm a size 18-20. For ages I wore a swimdress (I think it was maybe from Evans) but now I prefer a tankini - I have one from Amazon similar to this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hanna-Nikole-Tankini-Swimming-Costume/dp/B0CNT72CVN/
I found the swimdress got heavy and billowy in water, and I like the tankini because you can just pull the shorts down when you go to the loo rather than battle with a full suit. The top is supportive but as I said I dont have a big chest so hard to comment. I got one with drawstring sides as it sort of folds over my belly rather than being tight across it.

I'm an F-cup and a massive fan of Deakin & Blue - their swimsuits are made of soft, thick fabric that's really supportive. They come in three different bust sizes for added support - I wear 'Hendricks'. They're a bit more expensive but worth every penny imo for the quality and fit - and durability - I've had mine since 2018 and it still looks like new. And it makes me feel like a million dollars!

Snag are great for all body types but not sure on price. Good luck!

Can I ask how the sizing is for these? Particularly on the bottom half - I am also an 18/20 and don't know which to go for 🤔

I actually asked my friend who's an 18/20 and has done a bit of modelling for Deakin & Blue and she says that she wears an 18 Hendricks in all of the styles except the long sleeved one and the cross back - she says the 20 is better in those styles for bum coverage.

I've got the signature swimsuit - it's actually a 14 because I was thinner when I bought it - and still fits now I'm a 16.
