Just ordered a few swimsuits to try on in the boden sale.

wondering if there’s any other comparable brands in terms of quality for a size 18 with very large boobs…?

I have just received this from Amazon in red (bought the sarong from Primark with reds in it for £7, so needed a swimsuit to wear with!)
I had it in white last year and was so impressed I've bought another.

I’ve found Boden very short in the body

Fantasie is good as it’s available in different cup sizes (the one pieces too, not just bikinis).

Elomi are great

I bought one really good, supportive bikini top from curvy Kate (I'm a 38HH/J top, 16-18 bottom) and then a load of cheap but flattering tankinis from Shein. I often get asked where they are from when I'm wearing them on holiday! I wear lycra cycling shorts under for walking around (to avoid chub rub!) but take them off when I'm swimming.

I like Lands' End, because I can get separates with a long back. They also do curvy styles.

Pour moi are amazing for curvier swimsuits. It’s the only place I shop now

Don’t mock till you’ve tried them - but Bon Marche do great swimwear for ample busts with ruching on the front which is extremely flattering . Great prices too

I like Next and Cupshe.

My best recent swimwear has been from Sainsbury’s with an occasional find in tkmaxx

These are very comfy and flattering

Rocknrollstar · 25/03/2025 09:55

I’m a 16/18 and have taken to wearing Tankinis - loose top and shorts.

The Boden ones turned up and they’re awful! Not enough material, really thick too. Just unflattering all round. Sending them back 🙄

Elomi are great, I hope you like what you've bought. I do aqua exercise in mine and everything stays put IYKWIM.

Hope they work for you, I have two of their bikinis and they’re really supportive
