Like many women, swimsuit shopping has always been hard for me. I have always felt uncomfortable in them and had trouble finding a proper fit. Plus size swimsuit shopping can be even more difficult!
Serious question – why do so many swimsuits (especially a plus size swimsuit) not have underwire support?! It just doesn’t make sense to me.
I went on the hunt and ended up finding a swimsuit top that I absolutely adore, and I need to share!
Here’s my amazing find:
Lane Bryant’s Ladder-Front Swim Tankini Top with Built-In Balconette Bra
The support that this top offers is what got me. The best part of the suit is that the bra inside offers the same support as an expensive bra – it’s lined very well, has an adjustable 3 hook closure, and adjustable straps. It does have underwire, but unlike many other bras I’ve tried, I can barely notice it’s there.

This swimsuit is no longer available, but just this year I’ve started to notice some big name retailers catch on to underwire is plus size swimsuits! Amazon has a ton of amazing options, and so does Torrid.
I hate swimsuit shopping, but when brands understand what you need for your body type, things gets much easier.

Have you ever found a “game changer” swimsuit? Tell me about it!
