Time to go shopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731741 Wed, 03 May 2017 10:28:14 +0000 looch 2731741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a maternity tankini and I hated it. I had much better luck with a long torso one piece, but I was only 25 weeks and not that huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731735 Wed, 03 May 2017 10:22:26 +0000 Grace 2731735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a maternity tankini. The good thing about it (especially for pregnancy #2), is that the bottom comes up much higher. It feels more stable overall and it's good for hiding that weirdo c-section shelf this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731729 Wed, 03 May 2017 10:19:02 +0000 sauerkraut 2731729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wearing a sized up bikini at that stage, with the bump hanging out. I was mainly swimming for exercise, so I got a racing style two piece from speedo or tyr or some sporty brand like that on super clearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731619 Wed, 03 May 2017 06:00:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2731619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bikini if you have the support where you need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731608 Wed, 03 May 2017 03:40:04 +0000 Iced Tea 2731608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a one-piece maternity swimsuit from Target that was really comfy and attractive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731550 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:00:36 +0000 Finfan 2731550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a Catalina swim suit (bikini) from Walmart the summer I was pregnant. They run about $20-25 for a suit, and sometimes go on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731548 Tue, 02 May 2017 20:54:39 +0000 MrsBrewer 2731548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a Maternity suit from Target and love it!! It's a 2 piece, regular bottoms and long tankini. I got it when they had a buy 1 get 1 50% off! I think I paid 35-40? Worth every penny! So comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731429 Tue, 02 May 2017 14:59:20 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2731429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was too cheap to buy one with my first. I just bought a bigger tankini and I rolled up the fabric to be under my boobs when my belly got too big for the suit to fit over top. I was doing aquavit about once a week starting around 25 weeks. I'm glad I didn't shell out money for a nice suit. I briefly considered it this time around, but I'll just wear my old suit if I feel like swimming or going to the beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731423 Tue, 02 May 2017 14:53:09 +0000 sojellybean 2731423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes the boobs will not fit in the old bikini, but I'm not opposed to a new one. Just dread the shopping and trying on.<br /> @catlady: There is a maternity consignment store I've been meaning to check out, I'll have to look there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731419 Tue, 02 May 2017 14:47:18 +0000 youboots 2731419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Team bikini! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731417 Tue, 02 May 2017 14:43:58 +0000 mrskansas 2731417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought something similar to my regular bikini in the next size up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731410 Tue, 02 May 2017 14:33:15 +0000 catlady 2731410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a maternity tankini at that stage and was much happier for it. I was definitely a bigger size all over and couldn't fit into my normal suits (even bikinis), plus honestly I didn't like to show off my belly. I got one pre-owned and then I just sold it again once I was done with it since I only used it a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731408 Tue, 02 May 2017 14:31:22 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2731408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are the bottoms I have.

Flaunt the bump! And DD has swim class twice a weeks, so I do this a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-swimsuit#post-2731396 Tue, 02 May 2017 14:10:37 +0000 sojellybean 2731396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're headed for a mini vacay with lots of pool time in a few weeks and I don't think any of my pre-pregnancy suits are going to cut it. I'll be 25 weeks. Is a maternity swimsuit a necessity? Or did you just size up in a regular suit (one or two piece)? Any suggestions for either? We won't have regular access to a pool/beach this summer so I hate spending $$$ on a maternity suit that might not get worn a lot. </p>
