How do you avoid wardrobe malfunctions in a bikini?

This may not be the right place to post this question but I went with the "Support" in the title. :)
I am planning on wearing my first bikini ever on an upcoming trip. The problem I have is that after significant weight loss my "girls" aren't what they used to be. There's a lot less tissue in that skin and they move around according to their own free will.
How do you keep in the top without a constant tucking in? Is there some special magic wardrobe secret I don't know? Is there "boob tape" out on the market and if so can you swim with it?
Laugh at me if you must but I'm wondering what the secret is. I can't be the only one!

    I'd think the tape would come off in the pool or if you sweat. Instead of going with a looser string bikini option, try a more structured top. Kinda like this. http://www.beachstuffshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Banded-Halter-Bikini-Top-2.jpg The string bikini that have the adjustable triangle top will NOT be your friend, lol.

    I didn't get a string bikini. I bought a top from Victoria Secret structured like the one in the link above. My girls want to migrate out the middle.

    Buy the right size.

    You are young <assuming your profile photo has a picture of you that is> and have no idea yet....they change as you get older and even worse when you lose weight when you are older.

    Shell out for a quality one that fits well.

    I just buy bikinis that fit. Solves 100% of the problem.

    Under wire is great. Try shopping in a lingerie store or a store that specializes in swimwear - not department stores (though I suppose you might find something).

    String bikinis do not work for the ladies - not for me anyway.

    That's not me in the photo, just a joke of the day photo.

    I'm actually an older lady with huge tata's that would also spill out the middle of the style above.

    I have to choose tops that are called "full coverage" if they were a bra.

    this would hold them in because it goes in at the middle

    this would also keep them from falling out because it does not dip low in the middle

    still you HAVE to get the right size though.

    The cut makes a huge difference. Fuller coverage will keep them contained better. Also, the sizing clearly matters. Too big and they fall out, too small and they "migrate" out.

    Halter tops are great for a bigger chest.

    Also no cannon balls!!!
