1. A strappy bikini with underwire support and a high-waisted bottom so you can feel secure while wearing this beauty of a swimsuit in the ocean. Go ahead and body surf in those waves!
Promising review: "If I could leave more than 5 stars for this swimsuit, I WOULD!!!! I want to scream from the rooftops about how amazing the fit and feel of this beautiful set. I put this on and immediately felt like a million dollars. The top boasts padded cups and adjustable everything, making it fit well no matter your size. I generally have a hard time staying in bikini cups, and I was able to tighten the back AND sides of this suit for a perfect fit. Well-made, well-loved, and I will wear this suit to EVERY beach and pool party from now on!!" —Annie Hinz
Get it from Amazon for $36.98+ (available in M–3XL and three styles).
2. This stunning crossover one-piece that is giving us some serious Marilyn Monroe vibes. You'll want to spend every waking hour wearing this while lounging poolside.
3. A retro-style bikini set complete with a top that can be adjusted at the halter strap as well as the adjustable straps in the back, which means you can customize it to get your perfect fit! This comes in over 40 colors, so you can even grab a couple of sets when you realize how much you love it.
Promising review: "I never order bathing suits online because I just prefer to try them on, I blindly ordered this and I ended up loving it. The top is super supportive, the high waist looks good, and it is not see through. I would recommend this bathing suit!" —Breann Zimmerman
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XXS–22 Plus and in 43 colors).
4. A one-piece swimsuit with a deep plunge neckline for a vintage, old Hollywood glam look. The high neck will give you the supportive feel you're looking for, while the mesh panel is a perfectly subtle way to show off those assets!
Promising review: "My bust is supported and contained nicely. The fit on the legs is excellent and my butt is covered without looking like a grandma suit. I feel very comfortable in this suit. I’m very impressed! The quality isn’t like that of some of my more expensive suits, but for the price it is worth every penny. I would recommend and order again in another color." —Lyd
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XXS–26 Plus and 44 colors).
5. A bikini top designed for anyone with a bigger chest who's sick and tired of searching for bathing suits with support. When you're wearing this, you can swim, jump through the waves, or chase after your dog without worrying one of your boobs will suddenly come flying out.
The bikini top is UPF 50, fade-resistant, chlorine-safe, and sunscreen- and oil-resistant. They recommend hand-washing the garment.
Wild Isles is a woman-owned small business based in Minneapolis that creates swimsuits constructed with sustainably, ethically made materials.
Promising review: "My chest is very heavy and I normally wear a 38 DD. I just reached my mid 40s and after being a mom and through weight gain and weight loss over the decades, I really needed a bikini top that would give me good support and stay put and give my chest a little umph. This bikini top is gorgeous! It fits perfectly, and will fit even if I gain or lose weight. It’s sexy but not super revealing. The fabric is so soft! I am very self-conscious in a bikini, but this top pushes me to get over that, because it’s so beautiful and comfortable." —Melody C
Get the bikini top from Wild Isles for $95 (available in sizes 1–4+, which accommodates cup sizes D–H, and in 11 colors).

6. An underwire bikini top with halter straps so you feel extra secure and confident your boobs will stay right where they should. This one also features a full coverage cup so you don't have any side spillage and a cute ruffle detail that will really make it stand out.
I own this top! TBH I own probably five underwire bikini tops from Target because they are really that good! I love that they are sized by your bra size so you can get the exact same fit as your bra — and it supports you just like a bra would! Being a 38DD, I need alllll the support I can get, and I just feel so confident in my skin when I wear this knowing my boobs are supported and lifted and won't fly out if I jump in the pool!
Get it from Target for $17.50 (originally $25, available in sizes 32A–38DD and three colors).
7. A high-neck one-piece swimsuit because more coverage is ideal if you spend your time at the beach boogie boarding or surfing. However, full coverage doesn't mean you'll look frumpy — quite the opposite in fact! The fun leopard print will make you stand out on the beach or in the water, and the division between the patterned top and solid bottom gives the ~illusion~ of a two-piece suit.
Promising review: "I’m always trying to find something that looks flattering and supportive on top without adding bulk and giant pads. The padding and support are fantastic and the fabric feels nice on my skin, not cheap. Will be ordering again soon and have been showing all of my friends my new suit." —Toma
Get it from Summersalt for $95 (available in sizes 2–22 and five colors).
8. A high-waisted retro number with over 8,000 (!!!) 5-star ratings, and it's easy to see why: you'll look like a dang pin-up model rocking this look! It comes in so many fun patterns and colors, so if you're headed on a long vacation, you might as well buy a couple of different pairs so you have a fresh suit every day!
Promising review: "As a mother of three, I was very hesitant to purchase a two-piece swimsuit ever again. However, the retro high-waisted look allows me to have a little interest while covering the parts I feel need coverage. I was expecting the high waist to be tight, but it is not — it is very comfortable. The ruching on the front of the bottom is good, and the top provides good coverage, support and padding. My chest is not too exposed, which is exactly what I wanted and is comfortable. There is no underwire in this top, but there is plenty of support nonetheless. The top ties in the back and around the neck, with plenty of length to make the ties easily. The colors of the fabric print are very cute. I am very happy with this suit overall." —mandyteach1
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and in 28 prints).
9. A bikini trimmed with playful tassels — usually, triangle tops are notoriously unsupportive, but many reviewers swear by how comfortable and secure this one feels feel thanks to the larger cups and strong halter tie! Plus: the high-waisted bottoms offer great coverage while still being cute as heck.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this swimsuit! It fits like a dream! The top surprisingly provides good support. It is a comfortable suit and does NOT make you feel like you’re in a casing or tight fitting garment. I will be ordering at least two more colors!!!" —Keri
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and 10 styles).
10. A crocheted one-piece with adjustable straps so you can get your suit to fit *exactly* how you want it to. And can we take a moment to admire how dang pretty that patterned middle section is?! Perfect for anyone who's looking for a nontraditional one-piece.
Promising review: "Wonderful one piece swimsuit! The fabric is strong and actually gives a lot of support which I wasn't expecting. It came with two sets of straps, a skinny pair and a thicker pair. I am so tickled by this because I have DDD breasts and those little straps were not gonna cut it. I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of support the suit offers. I'm going to order a second one in green!" —Heidi
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 2–16 and eight styles).
11. A swimsuit with a front zipper you can zip all the way up for full coverage and support, or leave down if you're craving that deep V-neck look! Also: the half sleeves offer a fun sporty look while protecting your shoulders from sunburn. We stan a versatile suit!
Promising review: "Supports my 38DDDs. I typically have to buy bra-sized swimsuits to get the support I need but after seeing all the customer photos I thought it might work. It fits perfectly. I love the built-in cups and semi-shelf bra. It’s a thicker material so it smooths everything out. I may get it in a different color. For the price it’s a steal."' —CRISTY9584
Get it from Amazon for $28.31 (available in sizes S–2XL and 10 styles).
12. A swim top that fits very similarly to a bra thanks to the supportive underwire. In addition to the halter strings, it comes with a removable center strap that you can tie a number of different ways to give a little more oomph to your swimsuit look!
Promising review: "This is the best fitting things I've purchased ever! Very sexy without worry that I'll fall out! This suit top holds up my boobs and fits better than some bras I have. Highly recommended and would definitely encourage anyone to purchase!!" —A. Spencer
Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in sizes 34B–40DD and 15 styles).
13. A gorgeous high-neck suit so you won't be looking down all day making sure you're not accidentally flashing someone. If you catch someone staring at you, it's because of how fantastic you look in this brightly colored get-up with the beautiful waist tie!
Hermoza is a woman-owned and Latinx-co-owned brand with a focus on creating classic, timeless silhouettes with high-quality materials. Its name comes from the Spanish word hermosa, meaning "beautiful."
Promising review: "The fabric is perfect—with enough support, yet silky. I really like the style." —Jennifer Williamson D.
Get it from Hermoza for $128 (available in sizes 2–14 and in 18 styles).
14. A bandeau set — before you start yelling at me that bandeaus never offer enough support, hear me out! This magical top is hailed by reviewers for being way more supportive than they thought it would be while also being super comfortable and eye-catching (look at those fun patterns and the smocked bodice!) It also comes with removable straps if you want to rock that strapless look, and both the top and bottoms are made out of quick-drying material.
Promising review: "I’ve always had the hardest time finding a bathing suit that supports my breasts, but this top fits perfect all around and has good support! (I have F-cup breasts.) The material and the quality of the bathing suit is surprisingly nice and thick!" —Rileigh darsow
Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and 19 styles).
15. A one-piece bathing suit many reviewers say is juuuust tight enough that they feel supported while swimming but also super comfortable. What more could you want in a swimsuit?!
Promising review: "This suit is absolutely perfect for the beach or pool. It has the right amount of support to give you the shape you want without making you feel uncomfortable. I just wish it had underwire support. The colors are beautiful, exactly as the picture shows." —Miriam
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes S–5XL and 39 colors/styles).
16. A vibrant bikini top with a crisscross design in the back to give your girls that extra lift. If you're someone who hates how halter tops can pull on your neck, this comfy top is calling your name!
Promising review: "No more compromise! I have never been happier with a swimsuit top. It is incredibly supportive (wave tested!) without being constraining. The underwire is completely comfortable and discreet. The colors are fun and bright! I absolutely recommend for anyone who has a hard time finding something that is both supportive and cute. I've never ordered a swimsuit online before, but I went out on a limb based on the reviews and was not disappointed!" —K. Healy
Get it from Amazon for $35.54+ (available in sizes D–F and 24 colors).
17. A bikini set that will make you feel like a model as you're showing off that striking one-shoulder design, the high waisted bottoms, and the fun tie around the waist. Go ahead and strike a pose — you look fantastic!
18. A high-cut, sporty bikini — get ready to turn heads as you walk down the beach in this get-up. From the eye-catching colors and designs to the extra lift the top gives you, this suit is destined to become your new favorite of the summer.
Promising review: "I love everything about this swimsuit! I am normally a medium and ordered the large which fit PERFECT! The burnt orange color even makes my pale skin seem tan. The quality of this swimsuit is great — no white liner that rolls out like a lot of suits I’ve tried from Amazon. The top is supportive enough and the bottoms cover just the right places. I’m excited to wear it in Hawaii." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in seven colors and prints).
19. A cheeky swimdress complete with boy shorts underneath — if you're someone who always hates when regular swimsuit bottoms roll up, you'll love how these stay put no matter how long you splash around.
Promising review: "This was exactly what I needed for my little waterpark excursion. Didn’t want my butt on display and didn’t want to be adjusting myself all day long. This thing kept my DDs in place THE WHOLE TIME. I was shocked when I received it and tried it on — it actually held them up and kept them looking perky. I have literally never felt more comfortable/supported in a swimsuit. I normally do not wear one pieces because I feel like they make me look shorter/stubby but the ruching and skirt sort of break it up. I did receive more than one compliment at the water park. It fits really well and feels like it will hold up for years to come." —Danielle L Cardillo
Get it from Amazon for $34.52+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors and prints).
20. A wireless racerback bikini top if you're someone who just can't stand anything with an underwire — listen, we get it!! This will offer you support similar to a sports bra and will move with you instead of digging into your body and making you uncomfortable.
Promising review: "It's been years since I had a swim top I love as much as this one! It's cute and super supportive. Love the adjustable straps." —PatsGirl604
Get it from Torrid for $29.95 (originally $59.90, available in sizes 00-6, which support a range from C–F cup sizes, and in two colors), and check out the matching bottoms here (available in sizes 10–30).
Go ahead and enjoy your pool or beach day — you're going to look and feel fabulous.
