Nevermind 117 Posted March 26, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoven 33 Posted March 26, 2015 I've liked LandsEnd. Variety of types and sizes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swampdoggie 477 Posted March 26, 2015 Try full beauty/ one stop plus. They have plus suits but also large regular suits. I think they go down to 12s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeahawksFan 444 Posted March 26, 2015 I like Athleta and Title Nine. They are expensive but they are good quality. I just ordered a new Tankini the other day. ~LA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liannatx 897 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) @@BLERDgirl 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.

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted March 27, 2015 It depends on your size really...as to what stores to recommend. With the exception of Lane Bryant, the sites I listed carry all sizes, straight as well as plus sizes. @@BLERDgirl Thank you so much for this!

I am liking the "Illusion side swim tank" at Lane Bryant. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onmywaytobeingfound 163 Posted March 27, 2015 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovinSoul 113 Posted March 27, 2015 @@onmywaytobeingfound 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Nevermind 117 Posted March 27, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luvin_Life125 558 Posted March 27, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
