I got this one too! If it had tank straps, it would have been perfect - it was very flattering) but my boobs felt like they were making an escape plan (DD).

Also, I thought you were going to PIP yourself when I read that and I was like whaaat?! That's awesome!

I could not find any one peices I felt secure in with my breasts. So I ended up getting a couple rash guards are Athelta, which are on the way and I have high hopes. I got a rash guard from old navy, which I love the fit of but the print is just meh.

And I've had four babies. The body shows it. I also decided to just go for it on a bikini.

If you have smaller breasts, I LOVE the choices at Loft online. The prints are beautiful. They also have tankini and one pieces.

I ended up with a couple from Victoria's Secret and one from Aerie. I was shocked an American Eagle brand went up to a DD, but it does and I really likes their selection too. I'd have never thought to look in there, but they caught my eye when I walked past the store in the mall. I'll try to PIP.

I can't copy the pic from the Aerie one

They had lots of other styles and prints I like too. But this one was a favorite I had ordered, but just didn't work on my larger breasts because it comes in SML sizing instead of cup sizes (zoom in on the back strap part):

Or tankini form (also very cute back):

I'm going to go try this one on if it fits well, I'll buy it. I'm not really wanting a 1 piece but my last baby was large and mangled my belly. To me, this kind of has a 2 piece feel but will hide my stretch marks.

[Cherhorowitz]

Lol, @pickledpepper. Absolutely not!

[Cherhorowitz]

@jaidit do you have big boobs? I have a few bathing suits from L*space, including the blue one and there's absolutely no support. The blue one is basically a piece of fabric that you wrap yourself. If you have any boobs, they slip out through the bottom. Which was such a bummer, because it's so cute.

[Cherhorowitz]

My favorite bathing suit in the world is the Vix bia tube. I have it in a few colors and it's seriously a magic bikini. I wore it before, during and after pregnancy and it was flattering throughout. It provides great support. It's the only bikini I put on and thought I looked good in. I can't recommend it enough.

I want this one with a little wrap to go around the butt but they don't have size 12 yet. 14 will def give me saggy butt.

[shanadoo]

This one too

What the heck?! I just looked in there and it gave me no option. And it's cheaper which Amazon usually lets me know of price changes for things in my list.

Amazon is the best/worst. Is it not showing you the size 12 on my link or on your shopping list?

Nope, and the price is different.

I got a high waisted bottom from Aerie as well. it's really cute, plus it has a foldover feature wehre you could fold it to a normal bikini bottom or fold it completely over and make it a little swim skirt.

I had another one from that site all lined up to order last night, until I got to the $28 shipping to Canada. $150 total for a cute tankini.., hmmmmm...

I am a little sketchy about the prices of them. We do a lot of river swimming (canoeing) during the summers, & I don't want to ruin an $80 suit in 1 summer

Weird- I have size 12 option too.

[peppapig]

don't know if it was mentioned, but there are bathing suits for different body types/styles on zulily today.

I keep seeing the Walmart Catalina suit being shared, and in looking at it, saw a related one with a skirt bottom. Does anyone own that one and like it better/worse? It has wayyyyy less reviews but I feel like I'd like it even more since it covers up a little more.
