Choosing Swimwear for Large Busts
Here, we address 5 common mistakes to avoid when shopping for swimwear for large busts. We hope this helps you find your next favourite swimsuit.

1. NOT CONSIDERING CUP SIZE
When choosing your swimwear size, we suggest following your bra and underwear sizing. Swimwear is designed in a similar way to lingerie and uses stretch fabric that hugs the body. Using static measurements or following your dress size are not as accurate for finding your best swimsuit size.

If you have a large bust, make sure you are shopping by your cup size. You can filter your size and cup fitting to narrow down the choices that will work best for you. Double check the description for to see if the style you’ve chosen fits your bust size.

2. NOT CHOOSING SUPPORTIVE STYLES
When you have a large bust you know there are things to look out for when buying clothes. This is particularly important with swimwear, underwear, and activewear. These items need to be supportive and fit your fuller bust properly. Fortunately, supportive swimwear for big busts is available.

When it comes to supportive swimwear, try to avoid thin straps, plunging necklines and swimsuits without support. Instead, choose swimsuits with thicker straps, underwire, or built in bras for added support. It is possible to find cute swimwear that fits and supports your fuller bust with comfort and style.

3. NOT TRYING DIFFERENT STYLES
Try not to get stuck on the one swimsuit style when shopping for large bust swimwear. There are so many options available in full cup swimwear. Experimenting with different options will help you find a style that works best for you.

4. IGNORING FABRIC QUALITY
While it can be fun to shop cheap and cheerful, it’s best to invest in quality fabric and construction. Especially when it comes to finding well fitting and supportive swimwear. Ensure you buy swimwear that is lined and made from quality fabric to suit your needs.

If you are swimming in chlorinated pools or heated spas, be sure to invest in chlorine resistant swimwear. The 100% polyester pool proof fabric has less stretch than regular swim fabric, offering extra support for larger busts. Textured fabric is also a firmer fitting option for supporting your fuller bust.

5. FOCUSING ONLY ON COVERAGE
When you have a larger bust, the tendency is to cover up. Many women want to hide their large bust away under a t-shirt or rash vest. While your skin might not be on show, you’re really not concealing your bust, but highlighting the size.

Choosing a swimsuit that has a V neckline will minimise the size of the bust. If you prefer to keep your bust covered, why not try a ruffled swimsuit instead of covering up with a shirt.

With these tips, we hope you are better equipped to find your next favourite swimsuit. You deserve a swimsuit that will look and feel fantastic with exceptional bust support.
