Bikini options for 32FF support without leaving a central tan line

14 replies

I have a beloved JL strapless/multiway bikini similar to might like this at John Lewis: www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-sling-halter-bikini-top-black/p6089752?s_share=jlappdroid this which you can prise from my cold, dead hands BUT it leaves me with a very large white bit in the bit where the gore of the top sits - basically the bit that you'd see if I was wearing a really deep v-neck top. My days of triangle bikinis held together with string are over, but is there a solution that allows you to get a bit of vitamin D on the white bits and still keep your boobs aloft?! I tried this from Amazon but the top wasn't the right fit although I liked it in theory.

If you have 32FF boobs and have experience with a solution please share 😀

Have you looked at Miss Mandalay bikinis? They're a bit pricey but IME last well and because they offer a lot of halter neck styles you get very good support. I like the 'boudoir beach' tops but they also do others with a more minimal band. Bravissimo used to stock a small selection but their own site has much more choice.

Panache and Pour Moi have loads of good styles for the bigger boobed

That must hurt your neck with the weight of boots.
DD is 32G and we got lovely bikini tops from Bravissimo. We get bottoms else where hence going for black @

This is my bra size and yes i can help you! Ive been wearing these 3 styles on repeat all summer. All excellent and I am v fussy

https://www.bravissimo.com/products/copacabana-bikini-top-sm172/#tile-print-sm172tpt - great for minimal tan lines but prone to spilling a little

https://www.bravissimo.com/products/whitsunday-bikini-top-sw536/#green-sw536grn - incredibly comfy but most coverage and support.

https://www.bravissimo.com/products/sahara-bikini-top-sw727/#pink-floral-sw727pfl - my favourite. Being able to use the front tie if you want means its brilliant for minimising tan lines, or is a sportier shape if you dont tie it. V comfy.

I have the same problem so buy size 16 or 18 triangle cheapie bikini tops from Tesco in various colours (go up to size 22) which I change into to get rid of that white bit whilst I’m lying down, I don’t stroll about in them, I put a structural bikini top back on for that.

Miss Mandalay- Boudoir Beach but size up a cup if you want it to fit you properly.
i am the same size as you and find Freya bikinis are best for me.

Freya bikinis allll the way
I have MULTIPLE. I'm a 30G and my oldest bikini is still going strong after 12 summers and I will wear it until it falls apart 🤣
They offer great support, I'm personally a fan of halterneck, which I'll just untie to avoid the tan lines. They do some strapless ones which are not quite as supportive maybe, but tan lines are not an issue.

Type your size into asos and you will finds lots

MissSmiley · Today 07:24

I’m the same size as you and always get mine from Calzedonia, I get a size L in the top and the band is adjustable, very comfortable, lots of styles

Octomingo · Today 07:56

Freya or panache. They're just like wearing a bra, so you're held up and comfortable.

Next have some underwired bikinis with padded cups for bigger boobs and they are very comfortable and sturdy enough to take the straps down if you want to.
