UPDATE: went to the mall need bathing suit help in the worse way! tia!
So, I am heading out to a beach vacation...also hanging out at the YMCA play pool all summer.
I am on a search, but can't find anything that works.
Post baby....my sag bags are seriously a 34F. I come across large bikini tops with underwire...but I can't wear a bikini. My stomach is still healing with stretch marks.
If a one piece fits my chest...its a size 18 and I am not a size 18. right now i am a 10...I can squeeze into an 8, but its a muffin top.
I would love a mix and match tankini...then I could always just wear a tank top over it to make sure my stomach doesn't show....but, i can't find a tankini large enough with that support.
I am at a loss. DH says get the bikini and just wear a tank over that...I am VERY fair and usually always have a shirt on anyway in the sun.
any suggestions? tia!
UPDATE:
so, I went to the mall. Thanks Danielle, I went to Lane Bryant and squeezed them into a 36DDD....which gave me so much more of a variety then the 38F.
Macy's did not have the calvin klein one...but I did go to Lands End...they don't have any of the D or DD...I tried on others and I think I need a padded top(which D and DD isn't)...
My nips totally poked through.
I tried on the halter top...it was padded, but I need the underwire.
does anyone have the underwire one? any nipple coverage?
tia!

Re: need bathing suit help in the worse way! tia!
im a size 12 with a 36F  i got this tankini in a size 12D (if it wasnt for BF i wouldnt have even thought to have tried it on.. not only did he come shopping with me he picked out suits  )
well anyway i love it. you should give it a try and the halter is great for extra support. and its go straight across on the top so minimal cleavage. Image Attachment(s):

Try Macy's. Do you have one near your? I usually do pretty good there and I hate bathing suit shopping.
Last time I was there they had mix & match sets.

I LOVE the lands end bathing suits- they sell that at Sears- they have tons of tankinis that are very flattering and the tops/bottoms are sold separately. There are also different bottoms/tops that match w/ each other.

thanks, went to land's end at sears on monday(i had a GREAT coupon)...but very little support in the tanks...and the one pieces were too big for my bottom half.
which got me down because I love the small blue dot bottoms with the solid blue top.

maybe look online b/c I know in their catalog they have more variety than in sears.
actually- i just looked and they have underwire tankini tops... if you just select bra type and underwire you can find them.

I believe it! The one I have on now is Lane Bryant, but its a 38F. That's the only F they had.
I am going to see if they went down a little...maybe I can squeeze into a DDD

Re: need bathing suit help in the worse way! tia!
I just ordered a bathing suit from Lands End (a tankini) and I love it! I'm a 36DDD and this suit is a DD and it's fine!! I find that you have a little more wiggle room if you don't get the underwire, and there is still enough support. Here is the one I got:

Re: need bathing suit help in the worse way! tia!
some from here too.. bras
i ordered a freya bathing suit form here once fit well but i wasnt thrilled with the bright tourquoise across my na-nas. i tried blums-- i hate them, the lady made me cry. and i also tried some place in woodbury..cant remember the name.
lane bryant has been the best. and theyre pretty (no old lady lace or material up to your chin.

i love love love the lands end bra size tankinis... and they're cheaper than the calvin klein if that's a factor for you.

i have the underwire D-cup --- just lined, no padding at all.  sorry!
I totally sympathize - before my reduction I was wearing a 40G - I could get away with a 16 or 18 bathing suit, but they were all so ugly
