No matter if it’s swimming laps for fitness at the pool or simply having some fun at the beach, we have our favourite maternity swimwear picks below. Keep on scrolling to see what we mean!
What to look for when buying a maternity swimsuit
- Wider straps:Â Â Your boobs are likely to grow as fast (or faster!) than your baby bump. That can put a lot of strain on swimwear straps. If you have ample bosom, choose a style with wider straps for added support.
- Ruching:Â Ruching or gathering of fabric is almost always flattering and allows for growth without straining fabric. It’s a design that’s fantastic for growing bumps as well as postpartum bellies!
- Shelf bra:Â You don’t necessarily have to be pregnant to appreciate the work that a shelf bra does in a swimsuit. Boobs are heavy!
- Easy boob access: If you’re breastfeeding, you’re going to want easy access to your tatas! A tie, zip or suit with maternity clips is Heaven sent when dealing with a hungry baby on holiday!
