Swimsuit shopping is hard enough; you don’t need to be consumed by the lingering threat of an unintentional nip-slip on a family beach day. Rest assured, there are a number of swimwear shops that carry a wide range of supportive-but-still-cute bikinis, tankinis and one-pieces made for folks with a large chest.

From funky florals to basic neutrals, these pieces range in style, color, size and price. Whether you’re looking for a high-neck sporty suit for body surfing or lap swimming or something slinky for poolside photoshoots, there are big-bust bathing suits for all kinds of beachgoers. Many have a wide range of plus-size suits and a selection of suits with a smaller band but larger cup sizes, for straight-size swimmers with a larger chest. All the sites listed have in-depth size charts (some with photos!), so you can ensure a perfect fit before making any purchases.

To make swimsuit shopping a little easier, we’ve rounded up the best swimwear brands for people with a large bust, or a bra cup size over D/DD.
