Swimwear for saggy boobs - help

8 replies

LadyCrazyCatLady · 26/09/2025 12:03

Hi All, please help - I'm lost!

I lost a lot of weight over the past year and as a result am very self-conscious about my much smaller and now saggy boobs and upper arms.

I also have quite a flat, saggy bum.

I have one standard black costume that I wear to swim, but am going away on holiday and think I need something else a bit more holiday-ish.

I like full coverage on my arse. I'm now mostly in clothes size 8 and most options for size 8 seem to expect pert boobs and bum which I really don't have and don't like too much on show.

Please help. Especially any options that can create more shape in the boob department.

I wear bra sized bikini tops with either moulding or a bit of light padding. Gives a much better shape. Also, always check how they look from the side! Lots of bikinis look great from the front then you turn sideways and look like you have two pancakes attached to your chest.

Would you recommend any particular shop for bikini tops with padding/moulded cups?

Bravissimo if you're a larger cup. Miss Mandalay has some gorgeous swimwear too.

Freya have some nice ones, they're the ones with the sweetheart neckline. Only any good if you're a bigger cup size though, though they're coming up quite small so might be worth a try if you're only one or two cup sizes too small for their smallest. Otherwise, I would just search for padded or moulded bikini tops.

Sadly not a larger cup anymore. I used to be, but since I lost weight I have the skin of large boobs, but only the breast tissue of a c-cup.

Fantasie have moulded cups that give some shape. I buy their tankini tops on ebay and pair with cheaper plain navy or black bottoms from decathalon or similar.

Land's End tugless swimsuits are brilliant, full bum coverage and built in bra cups!

It's worth trying Freya. They start at a D cup and I've found that their cup sizes and band both run small in these bikini tops:
