Rash guards are great skin cancer protection and ensure coverage, unlike sunscreen application which can be uneven or wear off.
I'm small chested and always wear a bikini top underneath OP. I have seen some cute patterned ones at Lands End and JCrew catalog. Also Athleta has some that cinch up at the side. Check those websites pp. |
| OP, look for a rash guard with a shelf bra. |
| The LE sun shirts are awesome and cute. They don't look like swim shirts. I wear them outside, at playground, etc because they look like a normal tee. Cabana Life has some pretty ones but they are in the $70 range. |
| J crew has great rash guards |
| They have swimsuit rash guards. Maybe one of those? It would need to be a certain material otherwise you would wind up with a wet t-shirt look. Probably not the look you're going for... |
| You HAVE to wear a bikini top underneath. |

OP here. Thanks for all the feedback and opinions!
I ordered a black one from Lands End. I'll probably try it at least once with no bikini top under to see how it looks/feels. But I see how it could just feel too revealing. JCrew has some really cute rash guards. Not in my price range, but nice designs. |
| Why did you ask OP, you 're doing what you want anyway. |
OP here. I asked because its helpful to hear the anonymous and uncensored opinions of others. |

I'm pretty small-chested, but I'd wear a bikini top with a rash guard. I know that they are not the most fashionable beach or pool accessory, but neither is melanoma.

If you can't wear a bikini and one piece doesn't work, get a tankini. Tons of cute ones. The rash guard or sun shirt is just a shirt that goes over it all. |
| I am an A cup, and I always wear a bikini top underneath. I think you would see nipples if not. Especially when you get a chill from the wind. |

This is the rash guard I plan to wear when floating the river. Definitely don't think it's "sexy", but it's not that bad.... |
| This question makes me think of a time one of my friends who has big boobs told me (who wears an A) how lucky I was that I didn't always need a bra. What? I wear a bra so I have two nicely rounded mounds on my chest instead of two tiny tents. Yes, you need something underneath. |
Some people have rounded boobs naturally. Others, have triangles... |
