Where can I find a plain swimsuit with bra support - or just a bra “shelf”

[Movinnggbug]

I swim regularly and don’t want a swimsuit with a tummy panel or anything like that. Just a plain Speedo-type swimsuit with a bra shelf. One solid colour. Does anyone have any recommendations?

This doesn’t sound impossible to find - but I can’t find one!

I am slim (a size 10) but have saggy boobs that are quite big. I don’t like the feeling of no bra, ever. I even wear one to bed (like a crop top type bra).

A bra shelf in the swimsuit is fine! Preferable to a full on bra, perhaps?

I don’t necessarily want it to be black - red or light blue is nice. But black would be fine if that’s the only option - but definitely want a block colour with no pattern and no squashing tummy control etc.

Help!!

Have you tried Bravissimo? They have a wide range including Speedo

I have - but the only block colour one isn’t in my size. The rest are more fashion suits and i pretty much want a costume like this, but with a bra shelf!

It doesn’t have to be Speedo though. Just nice and easy to swim in and really comfortable with some support.

Bravissimo, they do a lot of bikinis, but also swinsuits

@PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich snap

@Movinnggbug they do a few block colour ones

This one by Zoggs. It has a bra shelf. Shame it’s black. It’s on the Next app but it might be worth trying Zoggs directly. Had to screen shot as the link won’t work for some reason

I have just ordered this one in black, and it has a bra shelf, not major support just an extra bit of fabric and elastic under the boobs. I know you said not necessarily Speedo, but this is just the one I know. I ordered it more for the high neck which is helpful for me for sun protection. It's a bit cheaper on Amazon etc.

In fact, lots of their swimsuits have built in bras - that's just the first one I saw!

I have this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Speedo-Womens-Racer-Swimsuit-Swimwear/dp/B0FMYQGNTP#immersive-view_1777213111114

Am a 34G, and it works - comfortable and supportive. The zip at the back takes a bit of getting used to, but otherwise fuss free

Both Speedo and Arena have suits with built-in support. Look on their own websites rather than other shops.

Land’s End, check out their “Tugless” styles.

Ooh I like that! Will check it out now - thank you!

thank you! I like this! I think it’s the same as @BustPipes has too. I’m going to order it and try it!

sweaty betty usually do good ones

Just wear a bra under the costume it’s a lot cheaper I do it

If you are tall my daughter likes this one: https://www.longtallsally.com/lts-tall-black-red-ribbed-sporty-swimsuit-p

Pour Moi do block colour costumes that are underwired and padded, I'm also a 10/12 and FF cup size so won't consider anything that isn't like a bra!

Lands End has some lovely swimwear that sounds like what you're looking for.

How about trying the sports shops?
I got some plain navy and plain black ones (might be Slazenger with a v. small logo) a few years ago, from Sports Direct.

M&S generally have a ‘shelf’ sometimes with removable padding. They don’t always describe cossies very clearly on their website making it hard to find out if there is a shelf or inbuilt bra.They often have fairly plain options maybe with a stripe or similar in their good move range

Several more on line. Some say tummy control but they generally aren’t tight I find it helps the costume keep its shape and some are chlorine resistant too

Another vote for M&S range - this one has a shelf and removable cups and comes in blue https://www.marksandspencer.com/ribbed-textured-scoop-neck-swimsuit/p/clp60774540?color=COBALT#intid=pid_pg1pip48g2r3c1

When searching on websites search with your bra size, they do swim suits with eg 34E, then you know you’re getting a good underwired full cup. Next and bravissimo are my go to.

I'm a G cup and found a great simple one-piece in Decathlon.
