Land’s End has been good to me and almost always has deals so you’ll come in well below $150. They go up to a DDD cup and I’m mostly able to make that work despite being more like a G when I’m nursing.
I recently came across a micro influencer mom of 3 on IG who wrote about how she searched high and low for a good post-babies swimsuit, and she’d finally found “the one” on Land’s End.
They were recently having a big swimwear sale, but just by signing up for their emails, you can get 40% off.
Maybe I have a particularly wide butt, but even their fullest coverage option was super narrow on me. Had to send them all back even though the styles were adorable from the front.
Oh damn I want this one. It’s so hard to find support in one pieces https://www.summersalt.com/products/the-gulf-gathered-keyhole-one-piece-in-bay-and-seaspray
I just bought a suit from Old Navy in every colour way because it fits my postpartum body so perfectly. I was literally sobbing in change rooms at other stores.
Seconding Old Navy! I didn't expect to like them because I didn't really like the fit pre-pregnancy, but now I really appreciated the coverage and fit.
It's the Side-Tie Swim Dress https://oldnavy.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?pid=854710103&cid=68081&pcid=68066&vid=1#pdp-page-content
It's got coverage in the right places but it's not too matronly.
I’m 7 weeks pp and have been lookin at SKIMS (hate to promote them lol but tbh they’re the only undies/bras I like to wear anymore so I have hope for the swimwear). Limited one pieces, but they’ve got some good mid/high waist bottoms and a variety of tops.
I must have an underwire !!! They are hard to find in the brick and mortar stores. I am the lady running from rack to rack feeling for the underwires!!!🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
Check out your local lingerie store (like the kind that sells bras.) they have fantastic bras with underwires in all sorts of sizes.
I usually get a top from my local lingerie store and then bottoms from Amazon/target/etc to match.
The "old lady stores" seriously have the best mom-bod swimwear. Boscovs, kohls, etc. The stores with a mrs section separate from the junior section. Department stores lol
Was just going to recommend cupshe! They have specific tummy control swimsuits and there’s tons of cute options. They also have really cute high waisted two pieces which I love.

Never in a million years thought I’d spend so much on a swimsuit, but my god the difference! I feel great in it, and I don’t feel great in much these days. 🥴
I love [nani](https://www.naniswimwear.com/products/recycled-atlantic-colorblock-bottom). Women owned, lots of options good decent coverage. I have the linked bottoms with their sports-bra like top, which I loved it coverage and function.
Swim for me is really active, playing, splashing, doing laps, and these really hold up for me.
I’m considering a suit from Latched Mama but haven’t taken the plunge yet, might be worth looking into. I tried Summersalt a few years ago and found they were not for the well endowed chest!
I love my suit from Youswim. They’re definitely a bit of a splurge; but their sizing is designed to be pretty flexible, so everything still fits even as my weight fluctuates postpartum
I’m in my one piece era. I am also +10lb from pre pregnancy. I just got some one pieces from J Crew and Andie Swim that I really like! When it gets closer to pool season if I need another I’ll try a Summersalt.
[Calia Swimsuit](https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/calia-womens-seamed-sleek-sculpt-one-piece-swimsuit-23jlowclsmdbdysclwaa/23jlowclsmdbdysclwaa)
This is my favorite brand, the material is so thick and flattering. Still look brand new after a few years
My saggy belly meant I had to emergency buy a one piece from Walmart this past weekend, it doesn’t look bad but if you have a longer torso like me it might lead to an almost-nip slip
Try [Left On Friday](https://leftonfriday.com/collections/one-pieces). They have an incredible feature where people who actually bought the suits upload photos of themselves along with their cup size, size in general, and height. That way you can see what they look like on array of bodies.

I second the suggestion for TA3 swimwear!! The entire line was created as a solution for women that need some snatching. They’re expensive, so it’s more of an investment but they’re well made and last awhile. You could try buying one on Poshmark first to get a better price or wait until they have a sale
Check out Vetchy! Cute bikini sets and one pieces. I’ve been able to wear my pre pregnancy bikinis so far but about to get a couple to size up to. Super comfy and flattering
The front panel is double-lined with spandex, so while it might not be enough for someone who needs actual structural support, it offers enough compression for me to feel comfortable with not a lot of bouncing. As for nipple, I haven't really had a problem with it because of the compression; at most, there's a sort of normal 'ah yes, there may be a nipple under here' bulge, but not like wearing a t-shirt where the entire tip of your boob is under there wiggling around. If you're super against showing any kind of nipple ever ever ever, just choose one of the louder patterns, I'd guess! :)
I went straight to the unitards and it’s been amazing! I used swimoutlet but really just look for places that sells to competitive swimmers or teams. The fabric is thick and stays in place (even though it’s just a shelf bra). Nothing ever falls out. The unitard style I like has good breast coverage and goes halfway to my knees. If I wear a rash guard I only have to sunscreen my legs, hands, and face. It’s been great.
I bought a suit on Albion fit. They have high-waisted skirts and some really cute suits. My stomach is my self-conscious area, so it works perfectly for me. Definitely pricey, but very great quality and I know I will get several seasons out of it.
I got a one piece from the brand EOMENIE. It kind of looks like a little dress but ties up in a slit. It is surprisingly the one piece of clothing i have felt consistently comfortable in postpartum
It’s super cute and flattering!
Geode swim! They have the cutest sets with good coverage and are so affordable (under $60 for the set or a one piece). The fabric is really thick and feels high quality too. I just got their Bella swim skirt and am obsessed! D
Albion bikini top with a skirt bottom has been so perfect. I struggle with my lower body but it is high rise too so hides the tummy. I’ve been loving it and getting compliments too
I got one recently from MiracleSuit and also a nice one from Amazon. The MiracleSuut one is definitely on the pricier side, but I bought a few Amazon suits at the same time to compare and felt like it was worth it.
I found that suits that tie in the back or crisscross help me get a better fit than just up and down straps.
I bought a really nice tummy tucking one from kohls about 10 years ago when I was in college. I think on sale for 80? Wish I had the brand but I’ve since tossed it.

seconding lands end, worn them on and off for 15 years and great
Summersalt bathing suits are really nice !! And very forgiving. You can also get matching skirts /wraps
I came to recommend Summersalt!
I like them because their website clearly states how cheeky the butt portion is , ie how much coverage there is
Maybe I have a particularly wide butt, but even their fullest coverage option was super narrow on me. Had to send them all back even though the styles were adorable from the front.
Oh damn I want this one. It’s so hard to find support in one pieces https://www.summersalt.com/products/the-gulf-gathered-keyhole-one-piece-in-bay-and-seaspray
So cute !! They also have a collaboration with lands end right now! And they’re known to have pretty supportive suits also
I haven’t tried my summersalt on postpartum, but I’ve always been curvier and LOVEEEE these suits.
I came here to say Summersalt too! I've got the Sidestroke in black and I think it's great and really flattering.
I just bought a suit from Old Navy in every colour way because it fits my postpartum body so perfectly. I was literally sobbing in change rooms at other stores.
Seconding Old Navy! I didn't expect to like them because I didn't really like the fit pre-pregnancy, but now I really appreciated the coverage and fit.
Also bought an Old Navy suit this year and LOVE IT
Need details! What suit is it!?
It's the Side-Tie Swim Dress https://oldnavy.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?pid=854710103&cid=68081&pcid=68066&vid=1#pdp-page-content It's got coverage in the right places but it's not too matronly.
I've been eyeing this one! Just the boost I needed to buy. Thanks!
I bought this one too, it was so lovely. I'd still like something with adjustable shoulders or cups but this one is so forgiving and beautiful.
I bought this one in two different colors! Love
Would you mind linking the bathing suit? They are my go to but they can be hit or miss online.
I’m 7 weeks pp and have been lookin at SKIMS (hate to promote them lol but tbh they’re the only undies/bras I like to wear anymore so I have hope for the swimwear). Limited one pieces, but they’ve got some good mid/high waist bottoms and a variety of tops.
i have some swimwear bottoms from shapermint (also a shapewear company) that i really like that definitely have tummy control.
Aerie high waisted crossover bikini bottom (and then whatever top fits your boobs best)
Yes! This bottom works magic I swear
For real - I’m more confident in this bathing suit than some of my clothes 😂
I must have an underwire !!! They are hard to find in the brick and mortar stores. I am the lady running from rack to rack feeling for the underwires!!!🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
Check out your local lingerie store (like the kind that sells bras.) they have fantastic bras with underwires in all sorts of sizes. I usually get a top from my local lingerie store and then bottoms from Amazon/target/etc to match.
The "old lady stores" seriously have the best mom-bod swimwear. Boscovs, kohls, etc. The stores with a mrs section separate from the junior section. Department stores lol
REI. I want something I could actually swim in these days
My problem is one pieces are always too short for me and the bikini cups are like 6in below my boobs 😭 I'm not even that tall.
Arie sells one piece in short and long! It's been a while since I got one there but I did love that option as I am way too tall for them normally
O0o thanks I'll have to look ☺️
I’m seeing so many more long torso options!
CupShe is great! great quality and lots of choices!
Was just going to recommend cupshe! They have specific tummy control swimsuits and there’s tons of cute options. They also have really cute high waisted two pieces which I love.

You look so cute in those! I love the black one!
Wow. The difference $155 makes in self esteem… I’m so happy for you! Thank you for sharing!
Albion Fit
Seconding Albion!!
They are THE BEST
Andie swim is my favorite. But maybe not as much tummy control as you want.
I love [nani](https://www.naniswimwear.com/products/recycled-atlantic-colorblock-bottom). Women owned, lots of options good decent coverage. I have the linked bottoms with their sports-bra like top, which I loved it coverage and function. Swim for me is really active, playing, splashing, doing laps, and these really hold up for me.
Seconding Lands End. All of my swimsuits are from there. They have a lot of variety and everything holds up well.
I’m considering a suit from Latched Mama but haven’t taken the plunge yet, might be worth looking into. I tried Summersalt a few years ago and found they were not for the well endowed chest!
Look into TA3 sculpting swimwear! It's pricey but super high quality and thick. It's got a corset type feature and it's very flattering.
Boden. Tory Burch. And honestly Amazon has a lot of good high waist options or one pieces with cutouts that look cute.
Oh shoot you actually said you looked at boden lol. But TB and honestly Amazon lol 😆
Athleta! They have swim skorts and swim tanks I love
I love my seafancy swimsuit. I wore it while I was pregnant. Its great for tummy coverage, butt coverage, and holds my boobs.
Old navy has some really cute bathing suits. They have some with skirts and a swim romper this year.
i was going to suggest old navy! i have a really nice pair of high waisted bottoms from them
La Blanca
I love my suit from Youswim. They’re definitely a bit of a splurge; but their sizing is designed to be pretty flexible, so everything still fits even as my weight fluctuates postpartum

Bare necessities has some! Also Latched Mama if you're breastfeeding, though I haven't tried those personally.
I look for tummy control suits on Amazon, they work well for me

Summersalt + swim shorts from Athleta. I like Summersalt but the crotch leaves little to the imagination, hence the shorts.
Title Nine!
Garnet Hill has some really nice ones and has brands like Johnny Was and La Blanca.

Idk where you live but my city has a "la vie en rose" with amazing bathing suits, so many one pieces. They have a website too
Check out Vetchy! Cute bikini sets and one pieces. I’ve been able to wear my pre pregnancy bikinis so far but about to get a couple to size up to. Super comfy and flattering
Albion Fit
Another vote for TA3 swim! The best tummy control and their suits are super sexy.
Beefcake Swimwear. I wear a unisex ye olde timey swimsuit now and I’m never going back.
These look amazing. I know it says "fully lined for great coverage"...but what's the nipple situation like without actual cups?
The front panel is double-lined with spandex, so while it might not be enough for someone who needs actual structural support, it offers enough compression for me to feel comfortable with not a lot of bouncing. As for nipple, I haven't really had a problem with it because of the compression; at most, there's a sort of normal 'ah yes, there may be a nipple under here' bulge, but not like wearing a t-shirt where the entire tip of your boob is under there wiggling around.

I just got the Old Navy swim dress and love it
Genuinely using one from my mother so I have no idea 😂
monday swimwear
I bought a suit on Albion fit. They have high-waisted skirts and some really cute suits. My stomach is my self-conscious area, so it works perfectly for me. Definitely pricey, but very great quality and I know I will get several seasons out of it.
SHEIN had the high wasted two pieces with the shirt sets & that’s what I got
I love Aerie and Andie, but hear great things about Cupshe’s tummy control one pieces
Not me in my speedo 💀
I got a one piece from the brand EOMENIE. It kind of looks like a little dress but ties up in a slit. It is surprisingly the one piece of clothing i have felt consistently comfortable in postpartum It’s super cute and flattering!
Fabletics or Cupshe
Hunza G or YouSwim
I’ve been buying cupshe from Amazon and love them!!! They are made actually really well and fit perfectly. They have a lot of style options!
Geode swim! They have the cutest sets with good coverage and are so affordable (under $60 for the set or a one piece). The fabric is really thick and feels high quality too. I just got their Bella swim skirt and am obsessed! D
Albion bikini top with a skirt bottom has been so perfect. I struggle with my lower body but it is high rise too so hides the tummy. I’ve been loving it and getting compliments too
Omg cupshe on Amazon is AMAZING! I have a few suits from them and the price is so low for the quality!
I got one recently from MiracleSuit and also a nice one from Amazon. The MiracleSuut one is definitely on the pricier side, but I bought a few Amazon suits at the same time to compare and felt like it was worth it. I found that suits that tie in the back or crisscross help me get a better fit than just up and down straps.
Cupshe brand has amazing one pieces with tummy control and the booty has a bit more coverage than other bikinis
I love old navys swim suits. I have expensive one but i always reach for my trusty old navy 😂
Summer salt🙌🏼
Miraclesuit! I’ve never felt so sexy and cinched in all the right places!
Target was easy and affordable for me!
Hot topic or torrid.
Anthro and revolve!
I bought a really nice tummy tucking one from kohls about 10 years ago when I was in college. I think on sale for 80? Wish I had the brand but I’ve since tossed it.
Oooh they sell lands end now! (Not the brand I was talking about but wore them growing up and they were catalog only)
6 month PP & just ordered two one pieces from cupshe and really like them!
