Swimwear shopping….hell on earth??

There are two types of women in the world…..those that love to slip into a swimsuit ..…and those that make sure that as much of their body as possible is covered by a t-shirt, a sarong and a large towel…..usually all at once!!

The worst thing about those of us that fall into the second category is that we put little thought into the swimsuit because we assume that it will be totally covered by that oversized t-shirt.

Why is this a problem?

Because we are likely to go out and buy a chain store one-size-suits-all swimsuit that doesn't support our breasts and emphasizes every bad spot that we have.

This then confirms what we thought in the first place about how bad swimsuits are.

Choosing a swimsuit that gives you good support and good shape is almost as important as choosing a bra that gives you good support and good shape.

Perhaps even more so because when you are wearing a tiny bit of lycra, there really is no hiding!!

But it doesn’t have to be horrible!!! Truly!!!

Firstly, buying a swimsuit because it is the cheapest and easiest to get you hands on is not a good idea. A little bit of effort now will make all the difference to your self-confidence at the beach!

Think support, support, support! It is just as important in a swimsuit as it is when choosing a bra.

All of the companies listed feature swimwear for large breasts and also bras and clothing.

But if you would like some style hints and tips first......

1. Shop for a bikini that you can mix and match the top and the bottom. That way you don’t have to buy two bikinis and throw half of each one away.

2. Do not EVER think that you can wear a bandeau top OR a string bikini.

Support should be the favorite word of a woman with large breasts and you will get very little of it in these types of bikinis.

3. A halter neck bikini is a good option because it will give support and it will also create an attractive cleavage.

The problem with a halter style top is that it can put a lot of pressure on the back of your neck. Most women are used to the pressure on the shoulders and don’t really notice it but shift that pressure to the neck and it could potentially have you in agony after only a couple of hours.

4. The other type of bikini top that is best for women with large breasts is one with an inbuilt bra or underwire. This will give similar support and shape as wearing a bra and is likely to make you feel most ‘normal’.

5. Make sure that the top covers the breast so you are not continually worrying about falling out the side.

6. A tankini with an inbuilt bra is great as it will give you the freedom of a bikini but will hide any extra stomach bulge.

One Piece Swimsuit

1. Choose a one piece with a built in bra or underwire structure. The last thing you want is to give the impression that you have one large flat, pillow shaped breast.

You need the bra structure to lift and separate!

2. Make sure that it has thick shoulder straps, thin ones will literally cut into your shoulder because of the weight of your breasts.

3. If you have a larger figure to go with your larger bust, make sure that you choose a swimsuit that has a high lycra content. The higher it is, the stronger the suit is and it will literally hold you in and smooth your shape.

Colors & Patterns

Don’t just try on black swimsuits!

I don’t recommend baby pink to anyone but at least try some of the other colors of the rainbow to find a color that suits your skin tone.

And let’s not forget patterns. Having a pattern on your swimsuit will keep an onlooker’s eyes moving so that the whole focus is not on your breasts.

Did you realise, a black stripe that goes down either side of a one piece swimsuit will give the illusion of your whole figure being inches smaller!

BUT promise me you will never ever go near horizontal stripes…..you know....the ones that go from side to side.....the person who invented them was a cruel and twisted human being….

Although if you want your breasts to look larger, your waist to look enormous and your thighs large enough to fill a football stadium…go ahead….wear the horizontal stripes!!!!

Other general swimsuit suggestions

Boy legs suit boys….and not many other people…..unless you are tiny!

A sarong is much more flattering than a little fluffy skirt attached to your swimsuit…you know the type I mean!

If you tie a sarong low at the top of one leg, not at the side of the waist, it will make your waist look smaller.

Although if you have great legs, show them off by wearing a sheer cotton shirt over your swimsuit when you are not in the water.

Whatever you do….remember that the SUN IS NOT YOUR FRIEND and apply generous amounts of sunscreen, particularly to your cleavage.
