Need a new swimsuit, but because of norks need underwire, am a 14/16 and a 34E average height.

I know bravissimo do lovely ones and if I could afford one that is where I would go but my max budget is probably £25. Am going to haven next week and the holiday itself cost less than £70 so cannot justify a huge spend! Please help!

Have you looked in Primark? There are some half way decent ones in there. They were over near the pyjamas last time I was there.

They had underwired ones and tankini types and mix n match ones... dd1 and I spent a good half hour just looking

Try the bravissimo sale - I got some stuff from there few weeks ago - they had cossies in it.

hI SQUONK (oops) went in primark yesterday and they had very little for the lage of nork. Tried 3 swimsuits on all great in the body, not so great cup wise. Not a tsnkini in sight all bikinis for skinny young things .

Will go have a peep on bravissimo sale area and report my fidings.

they've obviously all been sold since we were there - blardy Primark, you have to think three seasons ahead of what you might need! pah! (I only went because we went swimming and the only cozzie I could find was my maternity one from when I was pg with dd1 )

Ethel austin had a very small range, but they seemed ok for large norkage

Try Bhs...(shh - I know its mainly for old people) but, our local one seems to have lots of tankinis in. And you get all kinds of discounts if you open an a/c card there too.

Tesco do the bigger of the nork bikini's but not sure about tankini's or cossies.... they do a hidden support cossie and I'm sure i saw them with different cups - biggest is D/DD but I am an E and they fit me fine.

Grr typed message out and lost it!

Only bravissimo one is bright pink in my size so that's out.

Forgot about BHS they do usually have a big swimwear section.

Like the M+S one too, think I will pop in town this afty if I can.

My swimming costume is 10 years old!!

Sainsbury's has a nice polka dot tankini with an underwire - was in there yesterday and they seem to have quite a few different ones. Worth a look if you have one near you!
