Age Appropriate Bathing Suits?

Girls, I'm having huge issues finding decent suits. I'm 30, I'm not skinny... I feel like NOTHING is flattering and nothing is made for this age/size group. Everything is either teeny bikinis that make me look like a sausage b/c they poke in my fat, or matronly one pieces/tankinis with built in cups. I'm a medium age, medium size, girl. Please help me find a suit.

PS - I have no boobs and can't wear something with cups b/c they indent.

Does Shoshana Lowenstein (totally didn't spell that right) do bathing suits? I think she does all types too.

how about the one pieces with the cutouts on the side? I think those are really nice and depending on the shape of the cutouts they are flattering.

My weight is all in my bottom half. My stomach is relatively flat. If theres any thing I'd be ok with exposing, it'd be my mid section. I'm vehemently opposed to a one piece for some reason.

I got a cute bikini with a skirt bottom from Macy's last year. I think it was a Kenneth Cole.... It was really freaking cute though (not in a kid way) - I found the best selection in the Whitman Macy's.

Yeah idk though I just tried on some at target and found that they pinched my butt.....kind of like what heather was saying, they poke you in all the wrong places! I'm kind of in the same place as you body wise but i'm only 25......argh. it's tough.

The best quality bathing suit that I ever purchased was from Jcrew... but I feel like all of the bottoms on their site are kinda skimpy now, and I need a$$ coverage...

Would it be weird of me if I ordered one black bottom and 4 tops that matched it?

heather, what are you talking about?? you look great!! but i know how you're feeling. i have found flattering bathing suits for me at kohl's actually. i go for the tankini top, w/ the skirted bottom. it hides my upper thighs and hips, so i love this style for me. if you're concerned about being big on the bottom, this style totally works. will be cute, and hide what you don't like.

ETA: you can get mix and match styles too!
