Small breasted ladies - I need bikini advice

15 replies

SPSontherun · 30/06/2025 11:10

Currently sat on the beach in yet another disaster of a bikini (triangle cup)

Gaping at the sides
Sagging at the top

it’s a size small so I couldn’t have gone smaller

So what are we wearing on the beach? I look like a 40 year old with the chest of a 9 year old

Triangle bras tend to move around in n a small chest, so a more structured cup is better in my experience. If you feel there's too big a gap the sides, go for a bigger cup

So you basically want a band to prevent movement in the lower part and a structured cup (as thin or padded as you want), to cover the top.
It's about covering up as opposed to support.
String jobs are not much use.

I also find swimsuits can be flattering on a small bust for variety.

I tend to find this sort of top the best:

So triangle but not the string kind.

I agree that's a good option as well. Anything that doesn't gape at the top.

I always wear triangle tops and they never gape at the sides. Are you tying it tight enough at the top?

I think triangle tops are the most flattering on smaller chests, they can’t support larger boobs anyway.

I have a few of these Pour Moi ones in different patterns. Very comfy and flattering www.pourmoi.co.uk/products//venice-beach-non-wired-longline-removable-cup-halter-top/?styleid=99432

Padded triangles with halterneck tie top and tie back

I’ve recently bought some from Lou Swim which are an Australian company and arrived surprisingly quickly.

For the first time ever I’m actually confident about a bikini top!

The triangle string tie ones are pretty much the only ones that don’t gape on me.
I’ve got one similar to this too ASOS but it very much flattens everything, and is maybe too much of a crop top for you.

I’m small tittied, but love a string bikini…..just need to get creative with how you tie it and it can make all the difference!!

I like the upside down method.
Heres a video that explains it way better than I could:
