Swimming costume for hourglass shape

4 replies

BananaPeachPie · 29/03/2026 21:04

I’m a size 12-14 but definitely hourglass and find it really hard to find swimming costumes that don’t ride up my bum.
Landsend tugless fit great but I just wondered if there were any other brands to look at? It needs to be something fairly practical, to keep up with kids at a pool or beach.

I love the swimsuits from here For Luna

I like Boden, they do a stomach control and longer length which works well for me.

I’m a 12-14 and I’ve just got a swimsuit that is like cycling shorts on the bottom and it is brilliant! Lots of women at my gym wear them and I can see why!

You don’t have to bother about getting bikini lines waxed and they don’t go up your bum. At first I felt like a Victorian end-of-the-pier cut out but I love it now!

I'm an hourglass shape and had compliments on this one at the pool recently. Practical for actually swimming and keeps everything contained.
