Bathing suits for D cups

Patriots96 · June 2013

Was not sure where to post this topic. I have been trying for over a month to find a black tankini top that meets the following criteria:
1. solid black in color
2. has straps (nothing that ties around the neck or strapless)
3. fits a D cup

I have literally looked everywhere. I am not small enough for a bikini, but am not really "plus size" anymore, except for "the girls" which won't fit in a regular top, gotta have underwire support. I wear an insulin pump, so a one piece is out b/c I have nowhere to put my pump and getting to my tummy to unhook it when I swim, is just too weird in a one piece.

The sites I have checked include, but are not limited to: Kohl's, Sears, Kmart, Cato, Lands End, LL Bean, Speedo, Walmart, Everything but Water, etc.

Most of what I find is missing at least one of my criteria. I am not sure of my suit size, but I think I am a 12 or 14 now. Any suggestions would be most appreciated! :happy:

Definitely go to venus swimwear online. They do a lot of tops in cup sizes. Excellent bathing suits. Just ordered two new ones myself .. and, they carry tankinis.

They're the only swimsuit tops I'll wear now. Nothing holds them up and in place better!

http://www.bravissimo.com is a bra company that sells swimwear in larger cup sizes. They're England based, though.

http://www.landsend.com/ offers some of their styles in larger cup sizes, too

No ideas, just had to say that I'm a little disapointed you didn't find something at LL Bean. A year or two ago, they had a pretty good selection of swimsuits, including tankinis for D cup. Now it looks like all they have are one pieces with fake sarongs or one-piece tankini "style" suits. Too bad...

Looks like Macy's has some.

Patriots96 · June 2013

Wow! so many ideas! I will check them all out this weekend when I am at home and have time to browse the sites. Keep em coming! I am going to keep looking till I find what I want! You gals rock! :happy:

also try competitive swimsuit brands - they usually have 2 pieces and the tops can fit like a sports bra and I am sure there are tankini styles.

I find a speedo is more than enough support for my DDs but actually need very little support - I'm weird

bio01979 · June 2013

like this Speedo

http://store.speedo.com/p/tankinis/womens-monogram-tankini-boyleg/808736

it has bust support

other sports brands for swimming would be arena, nike, adidas and TYR

My daughter is a tripple D. I buy hers at either Everything but Water or California Swimwear since they have stores in the malls and she can try on. They have a lot of choices in the larger sizes. Also LOVE Venus but don't order often because of the pain of sending back something that doesn't fit. No patience for that!

I love my suit from Lane Bryant because it has underwire so my boobs still look perky! If you're under a 36 though, they probably don't have anything for you (a good problem to have!). I actually bought a pretty decent tank suit top halter style from walmart, too, which was a shocker. It doesn't have those crappy boob pads that are funny shaped and it pushed and pulled the twins into a nice position.

I am a DD and the bikini I have on in my profile is from Walmart

Yeah, I'm a DD (but I think I've shrank to a D. Lose weight off my hips? Nah, why not boobs.) and I got mine at target. Fits great, super cute.

Got a large top and medium bottom, btw.

^^ This. Lane Bryant typically goes down to a size 14 for most all of their line. Their tankini tops are sold by bra size, though, so you may have luck if your'e a 36 and above. I just bought a black one because my old one was too big (waaa hooo!!!) and these DDs stay right where they belong. No falling out, no uniboob, I love it. Good luck!
