Let's face it: As mums, finding swimwear that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and stylish can sometimes be challenging. Whether heading in the surf, lounging by the pool or chasing little ones by the sand, you deserve swimwear that fits your postpartum body perfectly. There's no better time than now to dive in and explore the best swimwear options for our new mums.
Finding The Right Fit Swimwear
Your body changes after giving birth, and finding swimwear that flatters and provides comfort and support is essential. We recommend swimwear to enhance your natural shape, offer tummy control, and help you feel confident in your skin.
Here are some popular types of swimwear for new mums:
-
One Piece Swimwear: This is a classic choice for mums, offering full coverage and support. Many one-piece swimsuit designs have built-in tummy control panels and adjustable straps to ensure a comfortable fit for different body types.
-
Tankini Swimwear: A tankini is another popular choice for the versatility of a two-piece with the coverage of a one-piece swimsuit. Opting for a tankini allows you to mix and match tops and bottoms to change it up. You can pair it with a high-waist brief for more coverage, or you may wish to show off more of your beauty with something less conservative.
-
Swim Dresses or Swim Shorts & Skirts: For our new mums who prefer something with a bit more coverage, swim dresses, swim shorts and skirts are fantastic options. They provide a flattering silhouette while allowing freedom of movement, perfect for playing with the kids.
-
Bikini Sets: If you are ready, don't be afraid to dive in and rock a two-piece swimsuit. You could wear a high-waist bikini brief to provide extra coverage around the tummy while still looking elegant. We recommend choosing a bikini top with adjustable straps and good bust support for added support and comfort.
What new mums should consider when shopping for a swimsuit.
When it comes to postpartum swimwear, being comfortable is the key. You deserve to enjoy your time by the water without feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable. Let's discuss what our new mums should look for when shopping for swimwear.
-
Support and Comfort: Opt for swimsuits with tummy control panels, supportive busts, and adjustable straps. Choose a swimsuit that feels snug but won't restrict movement, one that gives you security and boosts your confidence.
-
Body-Shaping Features: Look for high-quality fabrics that offer light compression and shaping. Ones to help smooth and contour your midsection while still allowing you to move freely.
-
Flattering Silhouette: When shopping for swimwear, focus on styles that flatter your body type. For example, a high-waist bikini brief or a one-piece with ruching can accentuate your curves while offering the support you need.
-
Feel Confident: The most comfortable swimwear is one that makes you feel great about yourself. Don’t be scared to try different styles until you find the one that makes you feel sexy, confident, and ready to have fun in the sun.
