Swimsuit online? Where?



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a tankini type suit (easier to go bathroom with 2 piece) which holds you in well. I am looking everywhere online and am lost. I've looked in stores and have been disappointed so I am willing to try online.

Thanks for responses and suggestions.

I've liked LandsEnd. Variety of types and sizes.

Try full beauty/ one stop plus. They have plus suits but also large regular suits. I think they go down to 12s.

I like Athleta and Title Nine. They are expensive but they are good quality. I just ordered a new Tankini the other day.

It depends on your size really...as to what stores to recommend.

Thank you so much for this! I just did a quick scan of the ones at Lane Bryant and they have some cute stuff. I am always in dire need of really good support up top.... and I love Cacique bras.

I am liking the "Illusion side swim tank" at Lane Bryant.

With the exception of Lane Bryant, the sites I listed carry all sizes, straight as well as plus sizes.

That's the orange one with blue flowers? Yeah I like that too. I don't plan to buy until I'm closer to goal unless I go on a holiday. I spent enough with the suits I buy for aquafit.

I need swim suit help for my daughter. She is a size 22 from like Lane Bryant. But her cup is size A. I'm having a horrible time finding her a suit. Anyone know of a plus size suit with small bust?

Hi! As it turns out, I have exactly the same challenge. Now that I've lost weight, I've had to find bras 42A. I found those online. Leading Lady brand and they fit great and are comfy. Swimsuits are my challenge now. I like Lands End swimsuits. They are usually well made and I have seen a few that seem less rigid in the bra area. This works for me. I'm not so concerned about support. Just with coverage and fit, which seems pretty ok. I noticed a suit that had an 18 in a plus bust size but also had a size 18 in bust size "regular". I was thinking to try that and see. I'm a little larger than an 18 but thought it might be worth a try. Being a big girl with a small bust is very hard...

Definitely try tankinis. Separates will work better. Don't be afraid to buy a bottom from one place and a top from another. I know a few gals have gotten cute tops from Forever 21 and then bought a solid colored bottom from Lane Bryant.

I will check out some of those. Have looked at Lands End. I can get into a size 8 but more comfortable in a bigger size, like a 10 or even a 12 because of loose skin issue. I didn't think it would be the issue it is, but alas my true size eludes me because of it. I saw some cool looking suits on Nordstrom website too. I guess I will check them out and give it a shot. Heading to the beach next week so gotta order one soon or hit one up at a store... thanks for the suggestions!

For swim suits my go to has always been Land's end because I can order by cup size and get a top with an underwire. Now my cup size is beyond what Land's End covers I have started shopping at www.herroom.com for swim suit tops and bras. Their sizing program is great because they have created a universal sizing chart to help you choose the correct size/ same sizes between brands and cuts. Miraclesuit swimsuits are also great for WLS patients because they have a lot of built in support all over which helps a ton with loose skin or any "jiggly" areas that bother you. I have bought so many swimsuits and promptly donated them on because they just didn't support me or keep the jiggling down. Make sure you don't eliminate the pricier swim wear because they will be the ones that give you the support and quality materials that will last you a long time. Good luck!

Please share with us if you find great swim suits we haven't found yet! Good swimsuits are hard to come by and are worth their weight in gold.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
