Maternity Swimsuit?

[cali]

Hey ladies,

MH and I are planning a trip to California next month and I'm gonna need a maternity swimsuit. I haaaate buying swimsuits in general and the thought of a maternity one is overwhelming me right now. Anyone have one that they love that didn't cost a million dollars?? I generally go for tankinis just because they're more convenient for bathroom purposes but if you have a one piece you love please tell me about it. Definitely dnw a bikini. Help!

Lurking. When I was pregnant I had a pregnancy tankini from Kohls. I discovered I couldn't stand the fabric on my stomach and got a regular bikini. It had been years since I wore one previously.

Have fun on your trip!

@ketchup, so far my boobs haven't changed much, still between a large B and small C, but I don't know if that will change as things progress. I haven't worn a bikini ever, all I have is tankinis and they definitely won't work much longer. I'm gonna check out Amazon! Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks!

I got one at old navy (a pretty basic one piece) I have big boobs and am...curvy...and it fits great. I think it was like $20. They have tons of sales.

wannabmama, great! Thanks, I was planning to go to their website to order leggings anyway, so I'll check out the suits while I'm there!

I'm thinking a tank top and shorts.. lol I haven't thought of it much but I guess a tankini

I was thinking about the same thing. I will be at my sister's and ideally on the beach in July at 8 months, do I REALLY want to be in a swimsuit?? What about board sorts and surf shirts? Anyone know if they make that kind of thing for pg women?

I bought this one:

I had to go up TWO sizes from my MM size. I would say they are made small. But i think it is supportive and good enough to get me through. I signed up for aquafit starting tomorrow so I will use it at least 8 more times haha

I just ordered 2 off of Target. It's right next to my OB/GYN so if I hate them I'll just take them back but we're going to Florida next month. I got a tankini and a one piece. We'll see how they look

cali Did you end up finding a maternity swimsuit or tankini yet that you like?

The whole concept of tankinis was new to me up  until a couple of years ago when I got one and I LOVE them!I do think I'll feel more comfortable in a swimsuit though while swimming pregnant..

Y'all, these swimsuit confuses me though! It's listed as a swimsuit but just looking at it it looks like a tankini? Do they make tankini-like looking swimsuits??

 
Also, I wish they had some in nicer fabric I miss being able to shop at Target and what not haha!

For sunbathing I'll prolly end up with a comfi pair of shorts and a tank top, not sure I'll be doing a lot of actual sunbathing this summer, out of fear of cooking the baby lol?

[cali]

muscari, no 😔 I still haven't found one I really like and they're all so expensive and I also don't know what size to order, I want to just try one on but most places don't have them in stores, only online. I need to figure it out soon though cuz were leaving in a couple weeks.
I like those ones you posted, but you're right, they definitely look like tankinis. I actually do want a tankinis because this baby loves to sit on and kick/punch my bladder so I need to be able to have easy access for my many bathroom trips.

Hmm I hadn't thought of the easy access for bathroom breaks.. good one!

Can't you order a few models/sizes then try them on at home and just keep the one (s) you like best and send back the rest? That is what I do - esp since NO stores carry maternity stuff in store no more here. Literally none, ugh, but that aside!

As for prices I too hate how expensive maternity stuff is but I was so uncomfortable in my regular clothing I caved in. I think I spent more on my maternity jeans then I ever paid for jeans lol but OMG soooo comfi. Am enjoying the comfort every day 😁 I guess I will go for comfort over frugality when it comes to my bathing suit too haha. My sister and a cousin gave me a bunch of lovely tops so that does saves me lots of €€€.😀

Try Asos. Not sure what they have this season, but I love their stuff. Solid quality & affordable. Good luck!

I got mine from Target today. It's a black one piece and it's good enough. It looks fine now and has room to grow. It's nothing special but it was only $30
