Bikini for big of boob

9 replies

AnotherDayInNotSoParadise · 23/06/2025 08:08

I recently lost weight/ toned up and for the first time since a teen I feel confident wearing a bikini. I usually wear tankinis because most of my weight hung round my middle, and my proportions didn’t fit a swimsuit.

The problem is the boobs. I’m a 32F, size 10. Most bikinis don’t fit me upstairs. I’d like something that covers boobs, and is not too flimsy a bikini bottom. Some wear in between Bridget Jones’s massive pants and a piece of dental floss. I am a middle aged woman too, so those boobs need a bit of a lift.

Any recommendations? Not too concerned about budget at the moment.

Also, something that can be accessorised would be lovely as I am going to an overseas wedding somewhere posh 😉

If budget is no issue, head straight to Bravissimo. Pay attention to their sizing guides but everything there will be supportive, focussed on giving you good shape and still being fun patterns/designs. Most of the bikini tops come with the option of 2 bottoms, usually one with more coverage.

I agree, Bravissimo. They have bra style shapes but also strapless and the ones that tie behind your neck. I sometimes get a bikini top from there and bikini bottoms from somewhere else.

I’m a 30J and size 10. If I can find a bikini to fit then so can you at just an F (‘just’ as in compared to a J). F is actually a pretty average size boob wise, it’s people being poorly fitted that gives the misconception that F is big. As others have said go to Bravissimo, pretty much every bikini they have will fit an F cup and have size 10 bottoms to match. Enjoy shopping! 🛍️

Bravissimo, Pour Moi, Bra Stop - all have great options

I’m 34 H and have lots from Pour Moi.
the styles stay similar over the years so I’ve build up a bit of a collection in black/animal/taupe and mix and match them.

If you are well-funded then Prima Donna is your friend. They’re eye-watering but worth every penny.

I have a couple I was given (a generous friend with a lingerie shop!) and they’re just fab. Beautiful, well fitting, confidence-boosting.

I’m in the same boat as you! I wear 32FF or 30G depending and I’m size 8-10. I tend to get triangle bikinis with halter neck tie up tops and tie backs. Most places do sell them seperately so you can get a size 10 on bottoms and then I usually wear 16-18 on top x

Next sell this size - if you have an account you can order a load of them to try and see what looks good without having to fork out upfront.

I then go and find what I like elsewhere for cheaper .... eBay is good for discounts on branded ones like Freya or Panache

Belle lingerie is good. I buy separates in bra sizes/pants sizes
