TL;DR
Maternity Swimwear Brands
Several brands were frequently mentioned as good options for maternity swimwear. YouSwim was praised for its flexible sizing that accommodates different pregnancy stages and postpartum [2:1],
[5:3]. Old Navy's maternity line offers comfortable and stretchy separates
[2:2]. Summer Mae provides cute, comfortable, and affordable options
[2:3]. Decathlon was noted for offering supportive swimsuits with ample bust support
[4:3].
Sizing Up and Regular Swimwear
Many pregnant women find success by simply sizing up in regular swimwear rather than purchasing specific maternity pieces. Some users found regular bikinis worked well throughout their pregnancies [1:1],
[1:9]. Others opted for larger sizes of their favorite regular swimwear brands, such as Gottex Profile tankinis with underwire for added support
[5:2],
[5:7].
Supportive Options for Larger Busts
For those needing extra bust support, some recommended looking for bra-sized tops from brands like Bravissimo, Freya, and Curvy Kate [5:1],
[5:4]. Additionally, adjustable straps and underwire can provide the necessary support during pregnancy
[5:5].
Alternative Styles and Customization
Some users sought alternative styles like one-piece swim dresses or rompers for modesty and comfort [3:4]. For those unable to find a perfect fit, mixing and matching separate pieces, such as pairing high-waisted bottoms with supportive bikini tops, was a common solution
[5:1].
Budget-Friendly Options
For budget-conscious shoppers, Target and Amazon were popular choices for finding affordable swimwear that still offered quality and style [1:2],
[5:8]. These retailers often have sales and a wide selection of styles and sizes to suit different needs.
Hi! Going on a beach trip when I’ll be around 28/29 weeks. Can anyone recommend some good maternity swimwear brands? Is it possible to just size up with normal swimwear (bikinis?). Thanks!!
I just sized up in normal swimwear with no issues.
Same. I could not find any maternity swim suits that were big enough and they were all from obscure sellers/brands that I didn't want to experiment with. Plus most of them were like off th shoulder or had skirts or stuff that did not seem v functional.
I ended up find something XXL on the target clearance rack and luckily it was a good color on me so that was that
Same! Found very stretchy a H&M one piece that I could try in in store that worked great at 30 weeks
Same! It was actually so healing for me to wear a bikini and be thrilled about my huge middle.
You can definitely wear a bikini! I bought a one piece that is made for maternity and honesty I’ve only used it once, so I’m glad I went with a cheaper option and not some of the $50+ swimsuits
I wear a bikini 😅 I didn't think it was worth buying maternity swimwear this summer
I would, but none of my old bikinis come even close to fitting my boobs anymore 😅
Maybe find a cute new top and call it good? I'm sure there's plenty of good sales online for swimsuits!
I had good luck with old navy!
Will check it out thanks!
My bikini worked all through pregnancy! (Had to wear it really low third trimester). For a one piece I got a maternity suit from Pink Blush which worked great
Currently 24 wks. Going to be 26 wks when needing a swimsuit and I’m getting all these ads on IG for maternity swimwear and I don’t know what’s legit or where the best place is to buy.
Where have you found your go to maternity swimwear?
Really liking the separates I got from Old Navy maternity. Super comfy and stretchy!
I got mine from Summer Mae. They’re super cute, comfortable and affordable.

I really love “you swim”brand, because it would fit me at every pregnancy stage & postpartum , since the suit is fit all sizing
That’s who I have been getting ads for! I’ll check them out. Thanks 🙏🏻
I am looking for a particular type of swimsuit that seems like it should be so easy to find, but has actually proven to be impossible for me. I am going to be having a baby and then recovering at a beachside resort a week later, so I’m looking for a specific type of swimsuit that meets all of my needs. I can find so many things that come close, but nothing that checks all of the boxes, so maybe someone on here can help me!
Is this a pipe dream? Do I need to start my own company lol? I really love the length and style of Land’s End and Duluth Trading Company swimsuits, but they’re all missing either the built in shorts or the nursing access. I currently have a high waisted skirt from Albion Fit that I love the style of, but the built in briefs are not working for me, and none of their tops have enough support for my boobs.
Would any of these work for you? torrid , miracle suit, summersalt , swimsuits for all, swimsuits for all
Thank you for responding! I can tell you put some time in and I appreciate that. Basically, this is the same problem I have been running into. I have looked at hundreds of swim dresses online, and probably have looked at all of those myself, but they all have briefs rather than shorts underneath! I do really like the style of the Torrid and Miraclesuit and they would be perfect if there was an option for shorts…..but the built in briefs are a dealbreaker! Why is it so hard to find just ONE option?
what about a romper suit? I got a couple from magicsuit and they're comfortable, fairly modest without feeling frumpy, and easy to swim in.
Hm, I see. I did find a few more options to look through: wantdo, summermae, wantdo, hanna nicole (does have removable padding), bloomchic, arolina, smismivo, cvrge (has zippers rather than a vneck for nursing access, thought i should include them just in case)
I hope you find what you are looking for!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent maternity swimsuit that's supportive enough for a big bust? Happy to pay a bit more for something decent as I swim every week with my toddler!
In my first pregnancy I ended up going with a bikini because I couldn't find anything that worked with my boobs but not feeling confident enough for that this time round (especially as I need it from the early stage of just looking a bit bloated rather than a proper bump 😂)
I was hoping bravissimo would do one but couldn't see anything on their website!
The choice for maternity swimwear is absolutely shocking! I think I ended up getting a tankini from Yours Clothing which was okay and did the job in third trimester and while I was breastfeeding.
Oh haven't heard of them, I'll take a look!
I got a maternity one from Decathlon. Great value and really happy with the quality and support. The cups are big enough, sturdy and the costume isn't crazy low cut. I feel really comfortable swimming.
Thank you, hadn't thought of decathlon!
I found Next great for this!
Thanks, will take a look!
I have this one it’s quite good!
Oh that looks nice - thanks!
That’s the best one I’ve found, maternity swimwear is really shocking, the amount of swimsuits with no boob support is ridiculous. Ordered a few from Amazon that were awful. Speedo also does some that look like they might be good.
Heading into summer soon where I'll be experiencing my MIL's pool and months 6-8 of my pregnancy... Who sells good maternity swimsuits that are also REALLY supportive in the bust? I had F-cups before pregnancy and the hormones are not doing them any favors in the size department lol
Any and all recommendations are welcome! <3
I tried so many different options and all were terrible IMO. Bump area was too long and big, cups were too small and no support. I ended up ordering a sized-up version of my regular suit from eBay and it worked great. Love Gottex Profile tankini with underwire and built in bra. Target has some cute bottoms that I paired with it.
Gottex Profile underwire flyaway tankinis are my literal fave. I might just have to go with this.
Same! The adjustable shoulder straps made it the perfect fit. I'm normally a 34D and ordered a 38D. Worked I felt like "two sizes up" was what I needed. Paired with Target ("In Motion" brand) high waisted bikini bottoms.
Youswim is amazing and you can wear it later too, it’s like many sizes in one, the verve cut is most supportive.
I had the best luck just buying separate bra sized tops (check bravissimo) and high waisted maternity bottoms.
I also like the Freya and Curvy Kate brands, check them out on their website then some models you can find on Amazon.
I honestly just gave up I wear tights and a big bikini top and a big swim top…
I got mine from Amazon. Everything else was exorbitantly priced and I was due early July so I wasn’t going to use it much. I was surprised by the quality!
Got a few on Amazon too!
We are taking a little baby moon in November. I will be 21 weeks. Does anybody have any recommendations for good maternity swimwear? I’m a little on the bustier side already so finding tops can be a little tricky. Thanks in advance!
Try Amazon!!! I wore these 2 on my babymoon and got a bunch of compliments high waisted with ruffles and this 2 piece
I also bought a few separates at target bc you can mix and match sizes but I live in FL so they stock swim year round here.
I just sized up in regular bikinis from Target. They took me through the whole pregnancy! Which is more than I can say about a lot of the maternity clothes that I had bought and have now outgrown (38.5 weeks).
Don't sleep on Amazon, honestly. I got a very comfortable one piece for a river trip a few weeks ago. It's got lemons on it and I love it.
I was really happy with the one I got from kindred bravely after thinking it just wasn't going to be possible due to my bra size (34J, maybe bigger).
I’ve never heard of that company I’m definitely going to check them out
Are you comfortable with bikinis? I got a couple of non maternity swim suits from jcrew on sale that worked great even in my 3rd trimester. They have bra size tops. I’m a 34d/dd fwiw and I found the tops supportive. For the bottoms their higher rise full coverage bottoms worked great. I tend to be in between sizes for my bottoms and I just went with the larger of the two. I liked that most of the options came in the same colors so that I could mix and match cuts and sizes for tops and bottoms. They were super comfortable and I didn’t feel like I was going to fall out of them (even when chasing after a toddler).
Always looking for an excuse to shop j crew thanks for the recommendation
I'm due in late October, and I'm looking for some cute maternity swimsuits that are two pieces. I have a long torso that doesn't mix well with one piece suits, and I'd prefer to cover my bump. Most of the very cute suits I've seen online are only one pieces, and for some reason all the two pieces I've seen are ... boring? frumpy?
If anyone could provide recommended companies or brands, that would be wonderful! Thank you so much!
I just bought one from June Loop. It hasn’t come in yet but I’m super excited about it and they’re supposed to be great for pregnancy and after. Their Instagram @june_loop has a lot of very helpful tryons of all sizes with fit info on models, some of whom are pregnant. There are tons of pieces you can mix and match- I’m excited to try the adjustable bottoms. They’re very high waisted and will definitely cover the bump! They’re a bit pricey but it’s a small company and made in the US so I was willing to give it a try!
Thank you so much! I love the adjustable high waisted buttons!
You’re welcome!! I got those and the Mary top both in dahlia. I’ve been looking at their suits for like a year and finally decided to try one- I’m due in June so I figure it should work for maternity and postpartum. Got the shipping notification today so I can’t wait to try :)
Pink Blush has a ton of cute tankini tops.
MiYang on Amazon has a ton of cute ones. I got a cute red and white polka dot one last summer. Loved it!
There’s a bunch on amazon. I always read the reviews really carefully when buying any clothes on amazon though, can be hit or miss.
I don't see why a two piece needs to be maternity? Just buy a tank in a size up
I’m 16 weeks, and my belly is not that big yet, but my boobs are HUGE! I’ve been looking online at some bathing suits, but most of them look like they would result in a peep show for me lol! Kind overwhelmed by all the skinny, small-boobed models with fake bumps haha. Anyone find a suit they liked?
I was super busty even before pregnancy and I would just suggest to steer away from SheIn lol. I gave up on my swimsuits search as I'm due next week. But the one suit I did get from SheIn was not supportive at all! So I would suggest going with something a little more $$.
I got my suit on Amazon and I love it. I can wear it post-baby too, so it's a win win.
I bought a couple from Pink Blush and love them! Very comfortable.
I also loved my Pink Blush swimsuit and would def recommend you check out their site!
Sportsbras one size to big, it was the only thing that fit me
Yup same, just started wearing a sports bra under my top to keep things contained
I bought one from Shein and it was terrible. don't do it. Actually I just wore my normal bikinis at 29 weeks. As long as they are low rise it's fine and on a lot of sites you can mix and match sizes for tops and bottoms. I did get a maternity tankini cause I thought I would need to be more covered but my normal bikinis looked great so I didn't wear it. Also got a bikini from pink blush and it was pretty good quality and comfortable.
Looking for recommendations for a good swim suit.... I know that you can just wear a bikini and have the bottoms under your belly.
Anyone have suits they loved during their 3rd trimester? Hoping to a suit that works for non-pregnancy too
No suggestions but I can’t imagine any swimwear that would work in third trimester and then when I wasn’t pregnant.
Hunza and YouSwim make these stretchy ones that fit a wide range of sizes
I have a Hunza one piece that I bought before pregnancy and it is still great. I am obsessed with this one size fits all suit. A bit expensive but totally worth it!
Youswim.com
What size did you get from YouSwim that fit while pregnant?
I got one of these and it’s so comfortable!!
What size did you get from YouSwim that fit while pregnant?
I was in the same boat last summer during my third trimester and ended up loving the one I got from mumabrand. It was super comfy, had good support without feeling tight, and honestly still looks great postpartum.
This one piece is ruched and has buttons it was so great for pregnancy and then nursing and postpartum!
Amazon has a bunch of maternity swimsuits. I’ve ordered several for this summer (I swim a lot and we’re going to the beach several times). That doesn’t meet your criteria for before and after but I’m not a bikini person (like under belly style anyways) before during OR after pregnancy haha. And they’re not expensive and so the job, some are even pretty cute.
My wife is currently very pregnant and can no longer comfortably do her normal gym routine. What have you current or former pregnant women found to be the best setup to do some laps?
As an aside, her normal routine has been cleared by her doctor and she swam D1 so the pool and aerobic exercise is on the up and up.
Thanks!
The gals on my team that were pregnant last year both wore bikinis in the last few months before births. They looked amazing and, like you, as former D1 swimmers could still kill it in the pieces. Completely inspiring!
Agreeing with the other comments here. I know lots of ladies who opt for the bikini or tankini for their swims when they couldn't fit their swimsuits.
I swam my entire pregnancy and just ordered my normal TYR suit two sizes larger than I would normally wear. It fit me comfortably for the 40 weeks.
I'm currently 32 weeks and had to switch to a maternity tankini and my regular swimsuit bottoms. It's more fabric than I'm normally comfortable with when swimming, compared to a normal competitive style suit - but it gets the job done.

Key Considerations for Choosing Swimwear for Pregnant Women
Comfort and Fit: Look for swimwear that offers a comfortable fit with enough stretch to accommodate a growing belly. Adjustable straps and a supportive bust are also important.
Material: Choose fabrics that are soft, stretchy, and quick-drying. Look for options with added spandex or elastane for flexibility and comfort.
Support: Consider swimwear with built-in support, such as underwire or shelf bras, to provide extra support for the bust.
Coverage: Depending on your preference, you may want a swimsuit that offers more coverage, such as a tankini or one-piece, which can provide additional support and comfort.
Style: Opt for styles that make you feel confident and beautiful. There are many fashionable options available, from classic to trendy designs.
Recommendations:
One-Piece Swimsuit: The Speedo Women's Maternity One Piece is a great option, offering a supportive fit and comfortable material.
Tankini: The Belly Bandit Maternity Tankini provides flexibility with a two-piece design, allowing for easy adjustments as your body changes.
Bikini: If you prefer a bikini, consider the H&M Maternity Bikini, which offers adjustable sides for a customizable fit.
Takeaway: Prioritize comfort and support while also considering your personal style. Look for swimwear that can adapt to your changing body and make you feel confident while enjoying your time in the water.
