To my big-boobed friends....question about swimsuits...

Okay, so now that I know that I'm not the ONLY one suffering from large (and saggy

) boobs....I have to ask - where do you ladies find swimsuits that have enough support for the 'girls'

Seriously...this is a major problem this year (b/c last year I wouldn't even dare to don a swimsuit!)...I cannot find anything that looks decent and holds me 'in place'

I bought this today in Penney's, but it was $$$, and I don't LOVE it...I was hoping for something more 'fun' than black...the top part (above the white) is see-through mesh. It was the only one that had good coverage, support and a high back (all my requirements).

Macys carries a line of suits that have good support for the girls. You have to search thru a lot and try them on of course but the empire waist tankini styles seem to give the most support without being dowdy.

Claud... try Blum's in Patchogue. They always have lots of suits that flatter and raise my twins.

If and only if you ahve the time sometimes TJMAxx and MArshalls get some really good bathing suits.. you need to find one with a built in underwire bra to help support you. The one you bought may have cost $$$ but atleast it will last a long time

Re: To my big-boobed friends....question about swimsuits...

Marys in Woodbury has bathing suits and they have suits that they add lingerie starp to and then you can wear a bra with it, and they also have suits there they can add bras into etc. It cost me some $$$ to get it there , but it was done right, and my chest is supported. ( I wear a DD cup)

Re: To my big-boobed friends....question about swimsuits...

Claud-I struggled with this problem for YEARS!! I found the only way to really get around it is buy a professional swimsuit. I have a great one by Tyr that I bought at a speciality store in Nassau. They'll fit you for one and it REALLY supports. I love mine-it's reversible..one side is plain black and the other is blue. Let me know if you want the info where I bought it!
But as a former F cup-trust me when I tell you this was the ONLY solution.

Forgot to add-the suit was only $45.00. Claud-I sent you FM!

very true.. I don't have that problem but have gf's with large breastasests.. and they love Mary's bathing suits.. Mary sews them in so they conform to your figure perfectly..
