Hi all, I have lost some weight. Am about a 10-12 now. Want to get a bikini for upcoming holiday as for the last 15 years only wore swimsuits! I am very self conscious of my tummy but kinda thinking so what at the same time. I have loose skin on my tummy and my belly button looks like an anus 🙃 for this reason I am thinking high waited would be best! Any recommendations? Please and thanks in advance!

I like mid rise as they dont come up quite as high as high waisted and look a bit more flattering. I buy separates from belle lingerie and recently bought direct from Elomi as they have an outlet online where they have reduced items

Try different styles on. I wasted so much on buying high waisted bikinis for the same reasons, turn out I actually look better with the loose skin on show in a mid-rise pant.

But Cupshe bikinis are great, I wouldn't buy other brands now that I know how well those fit me.

Hunza G is great for high waisted bikinis. Congrats on your weight loss!

Pour Moi have some lovely bikinis incl high waisted bottoms. Both Next and John Lewis stock them.

You should take a look at the new brand called Azure Fashion London - they are amazing because mix supportive and stylish together and have loads of options that are focused on flattering your body whilst still looking cute!! They have high waisted but also some mid rise ones too that still have great support if you were feeling brave with your weight loss - congrats!!
