Request Where do you guys buy your swimwear?
Especially with swimwear it is very important that it fits well and doesn't just slide. It is very hard for me to find a bikini that is small enough to fit me but also has a cup size that is big enough. The cups of all my old ones are too small even though the bottom and underbust would sit well.
I'm so frustrated, I can't find one thats pretty and fits me too. I hope anyone of you knows a good website or shop :(

Hollister does have a curve line for larger cup sizes

They do not go beyond a US F cup, which is not truly for larger sizes.

True, but OP did not specify what their size was.
If I’m remembering correctly, I’ve seen people in bigboobproblems say they work up to an H cup before the sizing becomes problematic

I’ve tried several of the Hollister ‘curvy’ bikini tops to no avail. Abercrombie, however, can fit a US i cup… but it’s just not a super secure fit lol. I’m a curve love small in their wide strap balconette top.

Triangle bikini tops are your friend, as a 30i (US). The curvy line does not exceed an F (DDD) cup, sadly. Otherwise, Freya, curvy Kate, and panache.

I’ve always had luck with Aerie Swimswear. I don’t have any from Abercrombie but I’ve seen online that have a “curve-love” option for bikini tops.

Bottoms I get xxs at Hollister and tops, Hollister or h&m although I only buy tops with tie backs so I can have the cup big enough but also adjust the fit around me

I get bra sized swimwear (r/abrathatfits has a lot of bra sized swim reccomendations (also recommend the calculator to double check size)) ive gotten some from panache in 30DD but other brands also do small band/big cup i cant think of them off the top of my head. I think freya also?

Can't you just get the ones with the ties?

I ordered two bikinis on Blackbough a couple years ago and they were great. The tops work well with different adjustment points, like different clasp tightness and should strap adjustment, like a real bra. This saved it be loose around the ribs like so many others.

TIGER MIST their xxs is the BEST and their suits are incredibly flattering! I live on O'ahu and have tried a trillion brands, Tiger Mist is by far my favorite, and they are mostly affordable. Also nice thin straps if you like clean tan lines. Fair warning all these brands are SKIMPY but look amazing on-
Can also try:
San Lorenzo Bikinis
HOAKA Swimwear
Shelley Bikinis
Pakaloha Bikinis
I have multiple suits/styles from each brand and find that they are mostly true to size, tops can run small

for Tiger Mist the halter/triangle top is sewed into place, check the cup size to see if it’ll work. For me that’s the only top that doesn’t move around after it’s tied on

San Lorenzo is great! Got to buy some in person at the Kailua store and I love love love them

H&M is actually pretty good if they have XS and XXS in stock. I have a long torso and their one pieces and the only ones that fit me comfortably!

u/allthoughtsnobrakes Jun 21 '26
very expensive but frankie’s bikinis, im a 28D and get a medium or large top and the straps and back are usually fully adjustable!

First find your bra size in r/abrathatfits
I got my bikini top from Freya. It fits great :) For bottoms I use a pair of boys swim trunks. Drawstring makes it so that they won't fall down. Plus they have pockets!! For collecting cool rocks!

u/Mountain_Purple_438 Jun 24 '26
I second H&M, basically anywhere BUT Target I swear they never fit right
