Let’s be real: Shopping for a bathing suit can be a nightmare for anyone, no matter what body type you have. But for those with large busts, it can be even more difficult. Swimwear is already pretty revealing, and an ill-fitting bikini or suit can run the risk of unwanted spillage, not to mention discomfort and lack of support. And when you’re at the beach or hanging by the pool, the last thing you want to worry about is a swimsuit that’s not being cooperative. (There are have other things to worry about, like making sure you have proper SPF protection—hello!)

What should you look for in a swimsuit for large busts

The most important thing to look when shopping for a swimsuit for large busts is support. The best swimsuit brands will have options that have molded or built-in cups, or even underwire, for support. Wide straps and bands (or halter tops) can help provide some lift, and thick fabrics will help provide extra coverage.
