Let’s face it: finding cute bikinis when you have big boobs is a chore. The options are either matronly, overly expensive, available in limited sizing, or all of the above. Although they can be hard to find, they’re out there! So over the years of trial and error, I’ve built a list of must-haves that I look for while bikini shopping:
- Padding: The molded structure provided by padding is essential to feeling secure in a bikini top. It helps to keep my girls in place, especially if I’m actually swimming or jumping into the water. Nothing’s more than embarrassing than the accidental peek-a-boo of a nipple slip! Padding also creates a flattering silhouette and lift for heavy breasts.
- Wider band: While those stringy bikini tops work for A-cups, we bustier ladies need more. I think of my bikini tops like bras. In order to feel proper support, a wide band is equally important when I’m lounging around the pool or beach.
- Bra size bikini top: For the most accurate and comfortable fit, I prefer bra sized bikini tops. Standard sizing almost never works for me – we know better than anyone that bra sizing is much more complex than S-M-L-XL.
The 10 bikinis include these must-haves that make these bikinis supportive and cute!
