1
A crocheted monokini with a supportive top and sheer midriff
Available in sizes 2-16 and 11 colors.

Promising review:
"I never leave reviews, but this is by far the best swimsuit I have ever had. I have DD boobs and normally wear a size 8. I did what the other reviewers suggested and got a size down (so I purchased a size 6) and it fits perfectly! Also with having large boobs and chasing a toddler around, I was worried about the boob area not being supportive enough but this is the ONLY swimsuit I have worn that completely supports my boobs. It also came with two sets of straps with two places to put them. Overall, this is a great, cute, sexy, and supportive one piece." —Hope Brown

Promising review:
"Can I say how much I am in LOVE with a swimsuit! I am a size 18/20 depending on the item, and I ordered this in a 2XL. It fits perfectly, allows you to choose the level of appeal you want with the zipper, and the print is AMAZING. I feel like going to the pool right now just so someone can see me in it!" — Mrs. M

Promising review (for the bottoms): "I have never ever ever ever felt as comfortable in a pair of bottoms. Never. I seriously feel like if I had these years ago, I would have suffered much less discomfort or at swim events. I literally did yoga in these flipping upside down without anything popping out, climbed to a waterfall, frolicked, omg. I love them so much" — Sara R.

It looks, feels, and fits great!" — SaSh88

Promising review:
"I love this one-piece! It was the staple of my whole vacation! I took previous advice and ordered a size up, and it was definitely a good decision. I have a hard time finding swimsuits to fit right, but this one did not disappoint. I don't have much of a booty, but this piece was still pretty 'bootylicious.' I got so many compliments on this and cannot wait for an excuse to wear it again, or buy another one in a different color!" — Amazon customer

Promising review:
"After reading reviews and seeing similar body types to mine, I decided to take the big leap and buy this suit. I have a VERY difficult time finding bathing suits that fit the way I want. I took the advice of other reviews and purchased the XXXL, otherwise labeled as a US 12/14. HOLY HECK, THIS ONE BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER!!! The fit is perfect. I'm very glad the bust area had more fabric! I may just buy this in every color." — Emma Maas

Promising review:
"First off, let me just say that bathing suit shopping has always been an absolute nightmare for me. The top part of the suit is always too small and the straps always dig in. I found this while reading an article on BuzzFeed, clicked on the Amazon link, saw all of the positive reviews and decided to go for it. I cannot begin to explain how comfortable this is. The top part of the suit supports me very well — AND even with the weight of my chest, the neck strap is comfortable and does not tug. I am absolutely amazed. I will be ordering more colors ASAP!" — Hanaberry

"I absolutely love this swimsuit, and I’m so happy I purchased it. The fit, quality, and appearance are all everything I hoped it would be and more! Highly recommended!! If you’re on the fence about getting this-wait no longer!! Exceeded my expectations! I love it!! I wasn’t extremely crazy about the extra material on the bottoms and wanted a smaller size but didn’t want to lose the size large on the top of the swimsuit. Other than that I’m in love with it. We love it so much that I ordered my daughter one as well!!" — AlisonD

"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 are. 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
19
A scoop-neck cutout swimsuit designed with adjustable shoulder straps
Available in sizes S–XL and in 14 colors and patterns.

Promising review:
"Super unique style that fits amazingly well. It has adjustable straps to help with that perfect fit. I got the tie-dye, and the fabric is good quality, not thin. It has nice padded inserts. The bottom has nice ruched stitching so you can adjust coverage from more coverage to less. I am considering getting another!" — shoppingbear

A simple two-piece with a sporty feel

Promising review:

21
A ruffled one-shoulder swimsuit you can easily pair with a wrap for dinner
Available in sizes 6-18 and in 44 colors and patterns.

Promising review:
"I'm honestly thrilled that I took a chance on this swimsuit. After reading reviews I ordered a 10 (I'm usually a medium or size 8) and the suit fits perfectly! It holds everything in without being too tight. I love the ruching on the front and it has full seat coverage too, which is important for me since I run around and bend a lot looking after my little ones. This is the best-fitting swimsuit I've purchased in a long time!" — Applejax
22
A cropped rash guard tankini set great for preventing sunburns
Available in sizes 4–16 and in eight colors.

A floral print off-the-shoulder bikini with adorable tie details
Available in sizes XS-XXL and in 17 colors and patterns.

Promising review:
"I was very nervous to buy this product as I have had some bad experiences with clothing online. But the price and the customer pictures were too much to pass up. I am so glad I purchased it!! It fit well, and it is super cute! It's not top-of-the-line quality but a far better product than I expected for the price. It might be an issue for someone who is busty as it doesn't have any support. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it, and I can't wait to take it out to the beach!" — Lovabull Books

31
A tank-and-short set with a front ruffle design
Available in sizes XS–XXL, 18-24 and in 38 colors and patterns.

Promising review:
"I love this bathing suit. I am not one to show too much skin, so I was looking for a new bathing suit I would feel comfortable in while in Hawaii. The bottoms are cute little high-rise shorts that fit nicely. The top has a fun, flowy look that allows me to feel comfortable but look cute at the same time. It was also a nice top to just wear while walking along the beach and shops. I definitely recommend this for those looking to stay comfy and not worry about showing off too much skin!" — Kassy

33
A simple and sporty one-piece with a high cut leg design
Left on Friday is a small woman-owned business creating swimsuits that are cute and can be worn for water sports. This suit is available in sizes S–XXL and in 14 colors.

LOF is one of my favorite swimsuit brands. I've had their Party Waves style for a couple of years now, and it looks just as good as when I got it. I recently added this style (in the bright blue) to my swimsuit collection, and I can't wait to wear it this summer. All of the suits are soft and comfortable. You can tell just by touching it that they're made with high-quality fabric. And the suits stay in place. I love how this still is simple yet super cute. Yes, the suits are on the more expensive side, but I think they are worth it. You can wear them to swim, lounge, or even surf. They really can do it all.

Promising review: "The LOF Sunday Suit is by far the best one-piece suit I’ve tried. I love the low cut on the top and the high cut on the legs. It's super comfortable to wear as a swimsuit or a even a bodysuit." — Megan B.
34
A basic high-cut bandeau set available in 33 colors and patterns
Available in sizes S-XL and in 33 colors and patterns.

Promising review:
"I was hesitant to buy a bathing suit from Amazon, especially because my bottom half is usually larger in bathing suit sizes than my top. After reading reviews and looking at people's photos of the suit, I decided to purchase it. I am so happy I did. I am so impressed with the quality. The suit is made out of a nice thick, comfortable material. If you are thinking about purchasing this, definitely do. You will be so happy with this suit!" — Emma

Kitty & Vibe is a woman-founded small biz making swimwear in different butt sizes. This suit is made from 100% recycled fabric. The top is available in eight cup sizes and three patterns and the bottoms are available in 10 sizes and three patterns.

Promising review (for the bikini top): "I LOVE this top! This is a top that I feel like works well for any chest. I was nervous at first because I personally have a small chest, but the triangles sit nicely with no gaping. I also love the adjustable tank top-style straps; much more comfortable than halter string tops! The subtle ruffles are super feminine and the pattern is amazing." — Denise
36
A tassel-trim two piece with a high waist design
Available in sizes 4-16 and in 18 colors and patterns.

Promising review:
"I'm obsessed with this swimsuit!!!! I have been eyeing similar swimsuits all the Instagram bloggers wear (by a brand I won’t name :)) but couldn’t justify spending that much on a swimsuit! This is an awesome dupe, and the quality is great. I listened to the reviews that recommended sizing up, and I’m glad I did." — Stephanie
