Please help me find bikini bottoms for big belly slim legs

I have a big hanging belly due to 7 stone weight loss, I'm having a TT in October but I need bikini bottoms for this summer, my belly is large but my legs are slim, all the ones I've tried have an area gaping at my crotch, I've tried snag, magi sculpt - these were nearly ok. I'm a size 10 so not large at all. I'd also like full bum coverage, snag didn't have this at all

M&S tummy control? They have a high waist high leg option which I’ve found good

TryingToFindMyStyle · 19/07/2025 19:51

You really don’t want a high leg option, have you looked at bikini bottom shorts?

I share your pain! I go for shorts

DangerousMouse · 19/07/2025 20:14

Shorts are a good shout, it's just that this is the first time I've felt comfortable wearing a bikini and I really want to.. maybe shorts this year and get a nice bikini for next year after the TT

I think I would be tempted to look at maternity ones.

TryingToFindMyStyle · 19/07/2025 20:43

Those shorts are very cute, congrats on the weight loss btw that’s awesome

Mangolover123 · 19/07/2025 20:45

Matalan do a tummy control bikini bottom as well as M&S, I have a pair and pretty good.

DangerousMouse · 19/07/2025 21:02

Thanks all, I've ordered the shorts, if they don't work I'll try maternity.
