Talk to me about swim boob holders

[pinkxray]

I am running across the same issue.   Unfortunately I don't think any of the regular sized bathing suit tops will work for me. I'm going to order a top from bare necessities since they have tops based on bra sizes.  I'll probably wear a bikini top to hold up the boobs and rash guard to hide the tummy this year.

I ordered one from Lands End that fits great. They go up to DDD which is a little smaller than my bra size but it works fine.

I found a Merona tankini top at Target that has underwire and surprisingly fit.

I have heard good things about the Bare Necessities site too.

Elomi has great swim bras!

If you are huge like I am and use a swimsuit a lot check out the website bravissimo. It's an English company so you would need to pay international shipping but it's not too bad and would be well worth it if you'll use it a lot. I'm going to order some bras and camisoles soon, I was just waiting for my boobs to finish shrinking post weaning (down to a G cup it seems).

Love bravissimo. Also panache brand and pour moi... which you can find on eBay cheaper. Other awesome big boob brands include curvy kate and freya.

I'm going to AW my well supported 32F boobs on our hawaii vacay here

Panache


Pour moi:
(meh, no good pics of this one, but I love it and have it in 5 colors from prepregnancy when I was 32E)

Freya:

You are totally allowed. If it makes you feel any better, my weight is the result of being on a dairy and soy free diet then eventually an 8 food diet for an allergic baby who constantly has to be carried and bounced. :/

Post script: thank you!

Also, I'm currently hating my BFF because she returned to prepregnancy weight in 5 weeks and has a baby who sleeps all day and most of the night...so it would be really hypocritical for me to say no.

Off topic: Same boat! When people asked how I lost weight so quickly I usually have twitchy flashbacks of not being able to sit down for hours because of LO or a sad longing for cheesy pizza. My sister is also having the same issues with her LO, she actually calls him her little "fitness coach". When he starts to cry she usually makes a joke about the fitness coach not approving of her sitting down.

On topic: we are trying to make it on one salary temporarily because I'm staying at home with LO. I hate to buy a new swimsuit because of this, but the bikini tops I have offer NO support, however, it seems like all the good ones are very expensive

Sorry you guys have had to go through this as well!

As I mentioned above, if you know your size/fit you can find the brands I listed on eBay at big discounts. There is also a slightly less expensive line I think called Cleo by panache that has good options.

I found one at target but does nothing to support my saggy bf boobies, so I guess I'm
no help.

Same here.

2jelplus1 Duh. I didn't see you mentioned that part. Was totally all about the common situation and not the content! I'll have to go check out eBay then! Thanks!!
