It’s no secret that finding perfectly fitted swimsuits can be difficult when you have a larger bust. As a size 34D, this is a struggle I’m all too familiar with. If I’m wearing a swimsuit, you’re more than likely going to find me running after my kids at the beach or the pool, so I need to wear something supportive and comfortable. I prefer a one-piece swimsuit, and a lot of what I’ve tried just don’t make the cut – most just smoosh everything down.
I’m at the beach multiple times a week, so not having a collection of go-to swimsuits just isn’t an option for me. I’ve spent years curating a collection of one-piece bathing suits that actually look and feel good on me. I prioritize underwire bra tops (but don’t like if the underwire is too obvious) and always go for a flattering, shapewear-like fit. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, keep scrolling to find my favorite supportive one-piece swimsuits – no flimsy pads in sight.
14 One-Piece Swimsuits That Actually Feel Supportive
1. My Favorite: This budget-friendly one-piece checks all of my boxes. It has a flattering ruched look that conceals the tummy, a lightly padded push-up bra top and wide straps that hold everything up. Plus, the array of available colors gives you so many options.
2. Bright and Fun: Make a splash in this bright pink one-piece that features a cute cut-out and ruching throughout. I find this type of V-neck style to be supportive and flattering, even without underwire, so I love this one. Plus, the straps are adjustable and cross in the back for extra support.
3. Not So Basic Black: If you want your swimsuit to fit just like shapewear, it’s hard to find a better option than this solid Miraclesuit. This sucks everything in and shows off your curves, plus it has underwear cups with a subtle design (in other words, it doesn’t look like you’re wearing a bra).
4. Flattering Fit: If I forgo underwire, it’s to wear a V-neck one-piece like this one. The top is surprisingly supportive and shows off a little skin, something that can be hard to come by with some underwire one-pieces. The all-over ruching is just a benefit.
5. Pool to Lunch: When I know I’m in for a day of really chasing after my kids near a body of water, I reach for this swim dress. It has a side tie and wrap skirt style that makes it look youthful and chic rather than grandma-like, and it’s incredibly comfortable.
6. Baywatch Vibes: This Andie one-piece is an exception to my usual swimsuit rules. It does have removable pads, but an under-bust elastic manages to offer just enough support and lift, so those pads end up helping when it comes to shaping. It’s also so comfortable and a great basic.
7. Keeps it All In: This sculpting swimsuit is worth the extra money. It has a corset-like design that not only sucks everything in and makes your waist look smaller, but also adds a little support. Plus, there’s a built-in shelf bra that keeps everything lifted. I’ve been wearing mine for years, and it still looks nearly brand new.
8. Worth the Splurge: Another splurge-worthy purchase is this chic metallic one-piece. The glittery fabric and rings on the straps make it look so luxe, and it has an underwire bra for plenty of support.
9. Sleek and Supportive: For a slightly different style, opt for this minimalist one-piece. It has a balconette-style underwire bra that lifts, with no padding for extra comfort. Bonus: it has UPF 50 sun protection.
10. Bestseller Pick: This popular one-piece swimsuit offers plenty of coverage and support, between the wide, adjustable straps and twisted front. The ruching throughout is flattering, and there are removable pads for shaping.
11. Looks Expensive: I love the unique neckline and cut-out design of this ruched bathing suit, which makes it stand out more. It has a built-in underwire bra for plenty of support and adjustable straps for a more customized fit.
12. Sporty Chic: While this high-leg one-piece doesn’t have underwire, it does have sewn-in cups that offer a subtle lift, some support and shaping. It’s a comfortable, sporty style that feels so versatile.
13. Wrap Style: Flattering, comfortable and durable, this wrap-style one-piece swimsuit has been one of my favorites for years. It holds up so well over time and always garners compliments. There’s no underwire, so it’s comfortable, and that wrap V-neck still offers enough support.
14. Cut Out Cutie: With a small cut-out for showing some skin and a basic design that keeps you comfortable, this one-piece is a hit all around. I love the shapewear-like feel that is so flattering and holds everything in place.
