This does not nec work if you are flat chested. Ask me how I know!


Ha, as a 5'0" woman, I understand this deeply.

I got a few from Knix, the period swimsuit company. Also Rip Curl.

Kanu Surf on Amazon has padding in its larger sizes - that was a nice surprise for me because my 12 year old is starting to need it.

My tween is 5’ and 100 lbs and is wearing XL girls suits from old navy this summer. The tops do not have padding though

My 11 yo wears athleta and that would be my top choice if they had any suits by the time 13 yo dd realized in time she needed new suits for this summer. I’m assuming it’s still slim pickings now. They have sufficient padding in girls sizes to provide coverage. Target, old navy, gap, and lands end did not work


My similar-sized 13-year-old found the best options at Target. She wanted two-pieces but nothing too skimpy. Target had a bunch of options that worked, in the girls department, size 14 or XL.


We may have just looked too late but none of the target girls suits had padding on top


Mind gets them in the teen/wild fable section not kids.

aerie is another option. Go down to XXXS

When my DD was 13, I posted about this and people recommended Amazon - which worked great. Cute, appropriate suits that were pretty inexpensive.

For future reference in case you find yourself here again next summer, they definitely do (PP whose daughter had luck with Target after pickings were slim at Athleta).

My DD (almost 13) got some really cute two pieces at Kohls last fall that still fit her. It looks like there are still some options online.
