About maternity swim suits

My DH and I have determined that I will, indeed, scare small children (as they say) - and likely everyone else - if I do not get a maternity bathing suit for two holidays at 32 and 37 weeks.

Any recommendations? And input about size and cut? I have been shopping online all morning, and most of them look very unappealing, and especially unstructured in the bust line. I think I would prefer a tankini, for looks and because I am constantly peeing!

Thanks!

I bought a really cute maternity 2 piece at Motherhood (I think it's also Maternity Works) in the Source for $20. I bought my regular size.

I bought mine at target for 39.00 it's not that cute but the coverage is great and it's very comfortable. No maternity swim suits are cute Chat Icon

I hated every maternity swim suit I saw and/or tried on. Talk about scaring young children Chat Icon

I wound up going with a plus size woman's tankini from Target and LOVE it.

This is what I got:

Thanks so much for all the suggestions, Ladies!

I eventually went with Target (I totally forgot about the Liz Lange line, as when I go to the stores they have nothing in stock!).

I totally felt that way. Not pregnant, I HATE swimsuits anyway! However, with this pregnancy, I completely love water, love being in it, and I will be swimming at night....! (Way too pale and big to swim during the day. I can hear the choruses now of children singing "Baby Beluga" were I to walk past in a swimsuit.)

I could not pass up that opportunity to gain the benefits of swimming. I am pretty achey these days, and I know it is not getting better. Just the relief on my joints, etc, is worth it to me.

Re: About maternity swim suits

I just bought a tankini at Walmart 2 sizes larger than I would normally wear. I actually love it-

It looks like this but not exactly with some regular brief type bottoms
