There’s a very specific thrill some get from purchasing a new swimsuit, like it’s somehow the promise that you will soon be on a tropical vacation, lounging poolside and sipping a cocktail (rather than staying inside to watch Selling Sunset for the third time). But I’ve got a bit more to work with in the bust area—yes, I belong to the D-cup-and-up crowd—and I’ve found that hunting for the best swimsuits for big boobs isn't always such a joyful high. As a size 32G, I can wear a size S T-shirt, but an XL triangle top probably won’t fit my gals and if its flimsy straps don’t have a lick of support, well, it’s just not going to work out. And please, don’t get me started on push-up bikini tops that put me at high risk for a nip slip.

So this year I decided to only acquire swimwear from brands that cater to my needs and my cup-size. My research, which yes, has included many happy days at the beach, led me to this list of 18 suits that are big boob-friendly. Each and every one is designed specifically to flatter and support bigger busts—all without sacrificing style. Because if I've learned one thing during this experiment, it's that nothing’s a better confidence booster than a swimsuit that feels like it was made for your figure—especially if it can do all that without an underwire.

All the bathing suits on this come recommended from PureWow editors who’ve worn and loved them for multiple beach or pool visits. The brands have also been vetted as big boob-friendly, with design elements that maximize support and style, without costing an arm and a leg. And, of course, I combed through all the product reviews to confirm these bikinis and one pieces do indeed live up to the hype.
