I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a bathing suit with some padding to help my sad, shrinking, post-weaning boobs. I'm size XS/0 and would prefer a one piece with good bottom coverage (I'd consider a tankini or bikini too but my stomach ain't what it used to be either after two kids).
So far the padded ones I've found seem to have tiny bottoms. |
Look at Lands End. You might like a high waist bottom plus underwire tankini. They also have underwire one piece suits with full coverage bottoms.
You can also add padding to a top you like. But, swimsuits are naturally sort of compressing so maybe just change your style of suit to something where a flatter bust looks intentional. I wear a high neck top that's cutaway at the shoulders, or else a rash guard over a sports bra. |
Check out the Calia Swimwear line - they do have it at Dick's sporting goods if you want to try on, but also online. Definitely made with Moms in mind- but without looking totally frumpy. Very pleased with the suit I purchased and the others that I tried on. |
Athleta! Their tankinis are awesome and padded, you can get full coverage or shorts for the bottoms. Still super cute patterns. |
Thanks for the suggestions, will check then out. Lands End seems to run large, is that true? |
Lands end generally runs large, but I haven't found that for the swimsuits as much. They are made of pretty strong spandex! |
I bought this last year and it’s super comfortable and flattering.

Another post on here recommended Albion fit. I bought 2 suits and have been impressed - one of them has thin padding in the top and the other is a thicker fabric that kind of smooths everything out |
I’ve had good luck with Boden swimsuits. |
Has anyone tried this one?

Thanks, I'll take a look. Their stuff is hot and miss for me (mostly in terms of quality). |
Does this have sewn in padding? |
