Akward Question about Bikini Tops

in Chit-Chat
I am a large chested chick and I love bikinis. My biggest problem, or should I say problems, is that I cannot find tops that are big enough. I do not think "side boob" is sexy, nor do I think it is sexy when the strings dig into my neck making me look like a hunchback. Does anyone have any suggestions for tops? I'm even open to trying to make my own.

    My prediction is that this will be one very popular topic.

    Just go topless....jk....i have the same problem, and i can't wear the tube top ones because when i jump in the water it comes off....basically all bikini tops are what i refer to as "nipple covers" because thats about all they cover on me

    Buy the tops and bottoms separately. Lots of places do that. You can find a top/style that holds in the girls and bottoms that flatter that part.

    There are specialist shops that cater for bustier women, and it does help to buy bra-sized swimwear rather than just dress sizes. I'm a G-cup and I've managed to find some lovely bikinis. They're a bit pricier than usual but it's worth it for something that isn't going to fall off or cut into my skin.

    Same problem here! All of mine are tied tight so they cut into my neck :(

    I have had some luck with Victoria's Secret tops because you can get them by cup size and some of them have support

    if you google "DIY Bikini", there's a lot of links on how to make your own :)

    Maybe a nice sports bra as a bikini top?

    Same problem here! The solution I am doing this summer is a breast reduction in two weeks! Good luck to you on finding a swimsuit that works though!

    Maybe halter tops with the thicker straps?

    I know there are several on-line stores where you can order the pieces separately. Have you tried that yet?

    victorias secret, or go online search your size and go to a website that accomodates your chest size

    Buy a tube top one that ties around the neck... It will cover more, and the tie is just for keeping it up. lol

    Tried finding an example so you knew what I meant. The one I was thinking of had thicker straps but this kind of shows what I mean.

    Don't make your own. Check out Land's End or Lands End Canvas websites. Make sure to get one with the built in bra inside. :)

    Sorry I don't have this problem, wish I did! lol

    Maybe try finding one that has thicker straps like a halter or something. Sorry not much help. I haven't seen them in years, but they used to make them where they looked like tank tops. Good luck.

    i saw a bikini top once that you stick too you, and it doesnt have a back..
    like a bikini style strapless bra..
    but i think it was not waterproof..
    which would be very impractical..
    hmm.

    I got one with a lot of fabric for the top and the part that goes around my neck is a wide soft fabric so it doesn't dig.

    I still have to be careful about them falling out. So when I want a real power swim I have to wear my tankini instead.
