Can anyone recommend a very supportive swimming costume?

[JacknDiane]

I am 36H cup size, 16-18 clothes. 5 foot 3.
I desperately need a new swimming costume for the local swimming baths, really don't want a bra clip fastener at the back as I hurt my shoulder. Just want something that covers me i can pull on and off. And no underwiring in the cups, although good support necessary.
Thank you.

I do Aqua aerobics and need a lot of support for my large boobs. I have two swimsuits from Landsend - tugless ones and they’re great! I needed to size up.

Bravissimo Miami swimsuit ticks most of your boxes. https://www.bravissimo.com/products/miami-swimsuit-sw685/#black-sw685blk

I’m also a landsend fan. I’m a G and my swimsuit is really supportive. They are more expensive but really well constructed and long lasting.

Another vote for landsend tugless. They’re fantastic!

Thank you all so much, I will investigate these recommendations.

Second (third?) Lands End Tugless. They’re a godsend for things like aqua aerobics if you have generous boobs and bum. I have two in their waffle fabric, one standard and one “high leg” (which really isn’t high) and they do not budge one inch. It’s such a relief to not have straps slipping off your shoulders or be pulling your cossie out of your crack every five minutes! Downside is they’re a bit frumpy, and the fabric takes ages to dry.

I wear long arm and leg zip up suits.

I had a look at the tugless swimsuit, are they a good support for an H cup though? The description says soft bra and the pictures shown dont look like the models are very top heavy? I'm just thinking it might not be as supportive as I need...I do like the price though!
The bravissimo one looks better for a very large bust, but it's twice the price. Needs must i guess, I've used them before for bra's and they were always very good. I didn't know they did swimwear too.

@JacknDiane They do it in different cup sizes, have a scroll through the site. I have standard and I’m a DD, but I remember there were other choices for bigger cups.

Edited to add - just had a look and there’s a DD option and this DDD one: https://www.landsend.co.uk/Womens_Tugless_Swimsuit_-_DDD_Cup/pp/P_41086.html?dwvar_P__41086_sizeVariation=59&dwvar_P__41086_color=HME&cgid=16114&pageType=fp

I think it would be worth a shot.

@Alltheyellowbirds I know, I started off wearing a costume that fitted me but had me bouncing all over the place, didn’t really want to wear my Landsend one as it was a really bright colour. Now got two more in black and navy. They’re fab!

Yes it’ll be fine, but it depends what you want it for as it kind of holds you in place by squashing, and flattening a bit. I’m about a GG and get the plus size range for that.

That's great to know 😊

I have this OP and have recommended it on here multiple times. Its cheap (£15 for the top) but very supportive and not wired. I have mahoosive, I/J cups and its the only swimwear I've ever bought which holds me in, up and doesn't have a wire. Its also tummy controlling so flattering.
You can get matching bikini bottoms and they also used to go larger brief and also one with a skirt. It looks like a 1 one when on, but has the convenience of being a 2 piece.

I like the price of the matalan one, I'll try to find it, thanks.

In case the Matalan one doesn't work for you - I'm a 34G, 5 foot 3, 3 times a week (including crawl) swimmer, and this works for me:

Very secure - keeps The Bandits under control. Takes a while getting to grips with the back zipper, but fine unless you have limited mobility in your shoulders.

I did try one of the Bravissimo Speedo ones - looked and felt great around the top, but waaay too long in the body.

Sorry, have just realised you said you'd hurt your shoulder!

I did have another Speedo one with a 'bra shelf' that was also very supportive, but when I sized down the second time (swimming does work!) the boob size went down proportionately, while my actual boobs hadn't. Worked at size 16 though.
