1. A one-shoulder bikini with a cute scalloped edge around both the top and high-waisted bottoms. It offers support with adjustable shoulder straps minus any uncomfy underwire, and the bra's padding is removable as well!
Promising review: "First of all, I never write reviews but this suit is beyond amazing, so I felt like I needed to share! I hate swimsuits, hate shopping for them, and especially hate putting them on. This is by far the most comfortable and adorable suit I have ever put on. I am in love! I sized up and it fits perfectly! I am a mom of three little ones, so I am constantly running around in a suit; this stays put and as I mentioned before, it is so comfortable. I want it in all the colors now!!!" —Michael A. Byrd
Get it from Amazon for $22.66+ (available in sizes S–XL and in seven colors).
2. A playful ruffled top bikini that comes with removable adjustable straps, so you have the choice between rocking a truly off-shoulder look or adding in some extra support! This summery ruffled top is so cute, you could easily throw on a skirt and wearing it out to brunch.
Promising review: "Highly recommend to my curvy sisters out there! Stylish! This is SO CUTE love it! Ran out of time to swimsuit shop and was heading to a beach vacation in two days so ordered this and it arrived next day! It was actually COMFORTABLE!! Felt sexy without showing tons of skin. And liked the little straps on top, so no tugging to pull up strapless suit. Adorable flounces on shoulders and nice material — doesn’t feel cheap. Perfect for pool party, cruise, beach floating, lounging and walking but obviously not for real sport swimming due to the fashionable flounces not going under my rash guard I wear for sun protection for water sports. This suit is meant for chillaxing, and I love!!!" —christy g
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 35 colors and prints).
3. Or a ruffle-topped one-piece, also with removable adjustable straps so you have ~options~, though many reviewers say the top stays up just fine without them (depending on your bust size!). Adjustable straps = no awful pulling on your neck *and* customizable support, so they're always a great option.
Promising review: "I love this swimsuit. Not only does it fit really well, but it is really supportive without the underwire. Also I'm relatively tall and most swimsuits aren't long enough for me from the shoulders to the crotch, but this one is perfectly comfortable and even has adjustable straps. I also love that the white is not see through it is very high quality material and is softer than a baby's butt. Ill defiantly be buying this again." —AudreyMal7
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 31 colors).
4. A pin-up-style one-piece available backless with a simple neck tie *or* with criss-cross back straps for extra support. The best part: It comes with an adjustable band that holds the two top pieces in place so you can customize your modesty level and bust support.
Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this suit.
Promising review: "I have been looking for a good bathing suit that is cute, comfortable, fits well, and covers enough, yet still has some character. This is it! I absolutely love this bathing suit! The fit is perfect and it’s adorable. You can style it in a few different ways depending on how you tie the ties which is fun. I have gotten a ton of compliments on it. I actually got back on and ordered it in two other styles. Buy this! You won’t regret it!" —GoBlue
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 16 prints, colors, and styles including some with criss-cross straps)
5. A super cute cutout swimdress with comfortable stretch and adjustable strings at the bust to tighten and lift as needed! You can flounce around and twirl allll way into the water.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "This suit is so much lovelier than I expected. It fits well, covers bum and underarms and accentuates beautifully. It feels silky and soft, too. The shoulders sit nicely, no digging in. The bra is comfortable and covers. Only thing I would ask for is an adjustable bra band but, even without, it is absolutely fabulous! It offers style, sass, and elegance all in one. I may get a few more in other colors after falling in love with this!" —Evfitzzy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XL–5XL and in 20 prints)
6. Or a cutout one-piece that gives the ~illusion~ of being a two-piece from the front and back, as the top only attaches to the bottom at each side (giving you a nice bit of breathing room as well). It's made of stretchy, eco-processed fabric with SPF 50+ to keep you comfy *and* protected during your fun in the sun.
Kitty and Vibe is a body-inclusive woman-owned small business that was the first to make bikini bottoms based on butt size! You can also take their 15-second quiz to find your size.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says, "I have this bathing suit and it's super cute — I like it for days when I'm feeling a bit bloated and would rather not have my entire stomach on display (ahem, always)."
Promising review: "I love all things ribbed, and this is the most comfortable ribbed bathing suit I own. The fabric is somehow both stretchy but also holds you in. It looks so good and I get sooo many compliments when I wear it! Love love love this one piece!" —Bella M.
Get it from Kitty and Vibe for $98 (available in sizes S–5XL, short and long lengths, and three styles).
7. A ruffled one-piece swimsuit with gorgeous lace-up detailing on the back that also helps you adjust the fit for comfort. The bottom cut is a tad cheeky, but many reviewers say it doesn't ride up.
Promising review: "As a curvy woman, I have a very hard time finding a swimsuit that makes me feel confident. I’m so in love with this one! It fits my curves well and is so comfortable (no digging for weggies or having a nip slip). I can’t recommend this suit enough!! I’m waiting for my size to restock so I can buy in more colors! Oh! The sizing is pretty good too! I usually buy a large bottom and M/L top. I elected to go for an M and it was perfect!" —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 20 styles).
8. A high-waisted retro number sporting gorgeous ruching on the bottoms and a top band that doesn't dig into your waist.
Promising review: "OK this is adorable. I love the bottoms because they are high enough but don't dig in like some waist bands do. The cups are large enough to push you up but you aren't spilling out! I haven't worn a two-piece in years but this one is definitely comfortable and modest while still being super cute!" —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and in 22 prints; get it in solid colors here).
9. Or a vintage-y ruched one-piece with a lovely sweetheart neckline. Reviewers say it fits comfortably without any painful pinching, but do note its molded cups with padding that's not removable (a plus if you always have to go hunting for it in the dryer).
Reviewers suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "Absolutely adorable suit, amazing for the price. This suit is so comfortable! It does have molded cups, so if your breasts are very large or small proportional to the rest of you, it may change the look, but it wasn’t too scandalous on me, and the ruching and cut of the rest of the suit looks great. I bought an XL and it fits very comfortably without any cutting in or pinching. It really looks like a much more expensive suit than it is. I’m actually looking forward to our upcoming family trip to a water park now!" —AmazonReviews
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes 4–16 and in three prints).
10. A bikini set that includes a super cute flouncy top that's not tight or constricting on your chest (yay, adjustable straps!) and high-waisted bottoms that stretch comfortably.
Promising review: "Best bathing suit purchase I've made. I LOVE this bathing suit. It’s comfortable and flatting. It has fantastic stretch and bands on the bottoms, and it covers your stomach perfectly (if you’re looking for that). The top is adjustable and comfortable, the flowy part also sits perfectly on your chest/abdomen. I am so impressed and was worried it would be cheap material, but not even close!! Would recommend to anyone!!" —JJones7
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and in 20 colors and prints).
11. A cool tie-dye two-piece, with cap sleeves, a keyhole slit, and bowtie adding unique details to what's already a strikingly patterned suit. It's lined with powermesh for maximum stretch and breathability, much needed on those fiery hot summer days.
Promising review: "Bought for this coming summer, love the top to this and loving this style. Very comfortable. At my age I look for comfort in clothes and glad to say this works for me." —Dentsdiva022422
Get it from Torrid: the top for $32.49 (originally $59.50; available in sizes 10–30) and the bottoms for $24.04 (originally $44.50; available in sizes 10–30).
12. A gorgeous high-neck suit designed for full neck and bottom coverage, perf if you're looking for something cute and modest (and with extra sun protection!). Sometimes one-pieces can feel oppressively tight, but this one passes the comfort test. Bonus: The side-sweeping waist tie is stitched to the suit, so you don't have to worry about constantly fixing it!
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: "Truly beautiful fabric, design, pattern and style. Received numerous compliments while walking the beach...and a comfortable walk, no riding up! I won’t purchase a suit from anywhere else." —Patricia M.
Get it from Hermoza for $138 (available in sizes 2–14 and in 10 styles).
13. Or a plunging scoop one-piece with a simple, classic design fit for any swim-related occasion. FYI, it's high-cut and cheeky, but feels comfortably secure without being suffocating.
Promising review: "This was my first one piece bathing suit that I’ve ever owned — I love it. I adore the yellowish/ orange color. The fit is a bit snug, but it feels more like a comfortable Spanx rather than constricting." —Kayla B.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 37 colors and prints).
14. A high-cut, sporty bikini held up by thick, stretchy bands that stay put (without painfully digging into your shoulders) during an energetic swim or game of beach volleyball.
Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews but absolutely had to after getting this bikini in the mail today! As soon as I put it on, I didn't want to take it off! It fit like a glove, looks great without being overly revealing, and I felt like an IG model lol. I wanted something without adjustable straps to worry about tightening/loosening and could just throw on and go. This was right on the money. The fabric is so nice — it's thicker, has a nice sheen, and feels/looks like a more expensive suit. It doesn't have padding, so I got it in black to be sure it wouldn't be noticeable. But now I want more colors after trying it on and seeing that it doesn't show really! The bands are thick without being too tight and have some stretch to them. It definitely feels secure, and the straps don't feel like they will dig in at all. With it being more of an athletic cut, it's comfortable enough to wear while being active without worrying about things moving around. And on top of it all, it's conservative enough to wear around family but still makes you look like your hips don't lie!" —Laura R.
Get it from Amazon for 15.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors and prints).
15. A funky layered tankini for breathable stomach coverage with a cute side view of the bra underneath. Perfect for water sports *or* chasing kiddos around the beach, this tankini has a non-underwire bra and a fitted band that holds the bottoms in place.
Promising review: "I especially LOVE the way this top fits. It's comfortable, not too fitted but not too loose, and the material doesn't feel super thin like I imagined. Seems like it's really well made! Also, this braided rope detail is everything! I paired it with different bottoms I had because I wanted a tad more coverage (mom life), but the bottoms it came with were also cute and not too skimpy at all. Very happy with this product, if you are on the fence about this, do it! :) For reference, I normally wear a large and the large in this fits me perfectly. If you are big-chested, you may need to go a size bigger." —C. Thomasson
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 35 styles)
16. A buttery soft swim top with adjustable straps, an extended bottom band, and triple-lined compression material that holds its shape without digging into your skin.
Night Dive is a woman-owned small business with an amazing collection of swimwear pieces focused on body positivity and sustainability.
Promising review: "I want to cry with how in love I am with this top. The feel, the fit, the color! Everything 10/10. I have never felt so comfortable and beautiful in a bathing suit before. I wish I could afford every color because my goodness. Please don’t stop selling this style!" —Ali
Get the top in Mermaid from Night Dive for $79 (available in sizes S–6XL and in five colors). You can get the matching bottoms for $79 (available in sizes S–6XL) and check out all the other bottom styles and colors here.
17. A ruched swimdress hiding comfy boyshorts underneath so you're not constantly pulling your suit down to cover your bottom. It'll be our little secret!
Promising review: "This swimsuit is beautiful. It's been YEARS since I've been able to find a swimsuit that I feel comfortable in. I love how beautiful it is while still being modest. It's very nicely made and very comfortable to wear. Being a 'well-endowed' girl, I also feel very supported wearing this without any additional support. I highly recommend it!" —Kathy Ann Koletas
Get it from Amazon for $32.95+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 25 colors and prints)
18. Or a vintage-inspired swim dress with a cute bow at the center and a slightly more flared fit that gives a nice silhouette without the tight hug at your stomach. It also has shorts underneath!
Promising review: "This is the BEST swimsuit I've ever had. It's comfortable and looks good. The shorts don't wedge up my butt, I don't have to constantly adjust my top to keep from falling out, and I don't feel like I'm being squeezed by a juicer in my stomach area. Material is thick and consistent with what a swimsuit should feel like and not cheaply made. I'm so so so pleased." —Andrea R.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–6XL and in 21 styles).
19. A swim top that takes everything you love about a good, comfy sports bra and makes it water-ready, with chlorine-resistant, quick-drying fabric and a stretchy elastic band that keeps everything in place during your swim. It pairs well with swim trunks if you prefer those over bikini bottoms!
Humankind is a queer woman-owned small biz whose mission is creating gender-inclusive swimwear for every body. All of their pieces are tested to be comfortable and supportive during all sorts of activities, from swimming to a game of volleyball, and they're chlorine-tested as well!
Promising review: "This fit true to size and was super comfortable. I like the material and that there is no padding. I don't have a lot to hold up, but my torso is pretty wide and the band didn't dig in at all." —Katie C.
Get the top from Humankind for $24 (available in sizes XS–2XL and in three colors). Pair it with Humankind's comfy swim trunks for $33 (available in sizes XS–4XL and in six colors) — the great thing is you can easily mix and match all the colors!
20. Or a soft balconette bikini designed with a similar spin on the traditional underwire bra, converting it into a supportive swim top that gently lifts while holding everything in place.
Reviewers suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "Such a cute flattering fit, with minimal coverage for maximum sunshine 😊 But it doesn’t move an inch when I swim!! Very comfortable, just like all Cuup bras, and the fact that they use ocean plastics made me really fall for this swimwear. Highly recommended!" —Laurisa B.
Get the set from Cuup: the top for $98 (available in band sizes 30–42, cup sizes A–H, and four colors) and the high-waisted bottoms for $68 (available in sizes XS–3XL and four colors).
21. A strappy high-waisted swimsuit that connects at the front via two criss-cross bands that go over the stomach and tie in the back. Don't worry, these have stretch to them and don't dig in, and reviewers say they actually stay in place too!
Promising review: "I was very apprehensive about buying a swimsuit. I haven’t gone swimming in 10 years because of low self esteem and body image issues, but this year I decided to buy a swimsuit and enjoy the summer. Let me tell you, when I put on this swimsuit, I nearly cried. It is so comfortable and cute. The material is stretchy enough to give you some wiggle room but stays in place when you need it to. I looked in the mirror and felt a sense of confidence and joy that I’ve been depriving myself of for many summers. Buy the dang swimsuit. You look amazing and deserve to enjoy hot girl summer." —Ash
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XL–4XL and 13 colors).
22. A fishnet panel bikini made of stretchy fabric that hugs your shape without feeling tight. Just don't forget your sunscreen or you might end up with some interesting tan lines!
Promising review: "I am usually a size 18 and bought the 2XL. It fit perfectly and has adjustable straps if needed to help hold the girls up. I felt great in this and received a ton of compliments. The material is comfortable and stretchy. I'd recommend this — made me feel sexy!!" —Jaz
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes L–3XL and in 10 colors).
23. A long-sleeve rash guard top and high waist bottom set for max sun protection *and* max comfort — no fiddling with straps or tugging at your bra. The ruched high-waisted bottoms are snug without leaving marks, and you could mix and match the black pair with other swimsuits when you don't need the long sleeves!
Promising review: "I have never felt so comfortable in a swimsuit in 20 years of buying them. I love the way it looks and it makes me feel more confident at the beach! It helped me avoid sunburns on my shoulders, but I still had worn a lotion sunscreen underneath so that may have helped as well. The bottoms of the arms are a bit loose, but I pull them up to about the mid-forearm anyways so it’s not really a bother. The bottoms are fairly full coverage and although I am not blessed in the area, they are not tight enough to leave indents or create extra cheeks. If you are looking for tight tummy control, this is not exactly your suit, but it does still look great and not show too much. Just try it!" —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and in six styles).
24. Or a sleeved one-piece to protect yourself from the harsh sun and hold everything in place so you're not always adjusting — and it comes in half or long sleeves depending on how much coverage you need! Throw on some cute shorts, and you'll instantly be ready to grab lunch or do some shopping on land.
Promising review: "I’m really not a review person, but I have never felt so inclined to write a review in my life! I’ve been self conscious with bathing suits for a few years now (three kids and lost my way on the 'back to body before baby' journey!). Comfort is my absolute top priority. I’m sick of getting burnt and I’m sick of adjusting my suit, especially since I’m a devoted diving board jumper! Also doesn’t help that my kids always want rides in the pool or yank on me for support while swimming. This suit solves all of that and it’s so cute and sooo comfortable! It doesn’t look like I’m trying to cover up (which I was worried about, because I don’t want to hide my body away), instead it feels sporty and sexy! I feel awesome in this. I just spent like a half an hour walking around the house in this announcing to myself and my family how much I love it! Best online bathing suit purchase I’ve made and I super look forward to this being a frequent suit in my rotation, especially for the beach where I always get fried! I debated for like a week on this so if you’re in the same boat just take this advice...BUY THE SUIT!" —kraigen1213
Get it from Amazon for $13.88+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 11 designs, including some with long sleeves)
25. A pair of stretchy drawstring boardshorts you can pull on for a day of swimming and lounging by the water. They dry fast, so you don't even have to change clothes afterward if you're heading elsewhere, and underwear liner is built-in (so you can go commando). Reviewers say they stay put without riding up or squeezing your thighs uncomfortably, even if you have curves!
Promising review: "These shorts are amazing. I thought they would be like similar ones I've had that are short and give you muffin top and you have to pull them down from riding up every few steps you take. They are so soft and comfortable, I wanted to wear them around the home just as shorts. They are nice-fitting, tight, but not too snug to give you any bulges. They are also short, but a nice length so it isn't riding up anywhere and I don't feel like every few feet I'd walk I'd have to pull them down. I'm seriously considering buying another pair in another color because they are so nice. Definitely worth it." —Jenny P.
Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 18 colors).
26. A comfy and sustainably made swim bralette designed for people with big busts to keep them supported and secure. Adjustable straps let you customize the fit of the top, while the bottoms' wide band is easily moved around without riding up.
If you're between sizes with the top, size up!
Promising review: "Finally a swim top that fits me, doesn't feel like I'm going to fall out, and is super comfortable! I've tried underwire/bra-sized swim tops and they were okay, just too bra-like and rigid. This one's cute and stretches in the right places. For reference, 28G bra size and it has been impossible trying to find one that I like and fits! I'm so happy I can finally stop the demoralizing process of swimsuit shopping." —Jill
Get it the top (available in Lively sizes 1–3 (32D–40DD)) and the bottoms (available in sizes XS–XXL) from Lively for $55 each.
27. An ethically made adjustable bikini top with a roll-resistant band that lifts and holds everything in place — minus the pesky underwire.
You might even want to pair this with their matching ruched high-waisted bottoms or cheeky bottoms to complete the look!
Wild Isles is a woman-owned small business based in Minneapolis that sustainably creates fun and tailored pieces for women, especially those with larger breasts, to feel confident in.
Promising review: "I am so very excited to finally get to order from Wild Isles. I stumbled upon the page a few years ago and finally bought my first bikini top after trying SO MANY other brands and being left with poor quality and a sore neck and back. I have yet to beach test the top but just from wearing it around the house the quality and fit is unlike anything I’ve ever worn. It’s beautiful and comfortable; I cannot wait for all of the future beach days!! I hesitated to buy the bottoms when I ordered the top but once I tried on the Vita I immediately ordered bottoms to match!" —Jaclyn A.
Get it from Wild Isles for $95 (available in four sizes and colors).
28. A high-waisted swimsuit sporting ruffles so cute, you'll be tempted to throw this on even when swimming's not in the day's plans. It's comfortable without any tugging or pulling, and reviewers say the material feels good quality.
Promising review: "This bathing suit has my mom bod feeling pretty friggin' beach-ready. Love the fit and the quality of the material. I have never felt so comfortable and cute at the same time in a bathing suit until this one." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in six styles).
29. A darling gingham bikini, because this classic pattern is never going out of style. It sports adjustable ties on both the top *and* bottom so you can tighten or loosen the fit as needed!
Promising review: "I was shocked at how great the material of this swimsuit was. I usually wear a size small, and this swimsuit fit PERFECTLY. The material is amazing!! It is stretchy but soft and comfortable. It is not see-through in water. I cannot wait to take this suit on a vacation. I absolutely loved the fit, material, color, pattern, and the way it fit on my body. The bottom and top are both adjustable with tied ends! I will definitely be buying this in more colors. Also, shipped to my house in one day!!!!! 5 stars!!!" —TA
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and four styles).
30. A sporty racerback top made from a luxe recycled nylon blend that's designed to feel like a second skin — no flimsy, digging straps, just silky soft fabric that lightly hugs your body. It might be made for the pool, but a piece this comfy is just begging to be worn more often; it's versatile enough for yoga, lounging, and other non-water-related activities.
Momma is an Asian-owned small business that uses luxurious sustainable fabrics with a focus on sexy yet sporty designs! The brand also plants one tree for every order placed.
Promising review: "I am having a love affair with this top. I got it in Moss and loved it so much that I now own it in three colors. The fabric is otherworldly soft and sleek and the suit fits perfectly. I wear it for practically every activity — swimming, yoga, lounging — and it never disappoints. So so comfortable — no annoying strings digging into the back of my neck or my shoulders. Have worn in both salt water and chlorine multiple times without issue. Very quality product." —Angela R.
Get the top from Momma for $60 (originally $78) (available in sizes XS–XXL and four colors) and pick up a matching set of bottoms for $45+.
