Anyone have a bathing suit they LOVE? We are going on vacation in a few weeks and I need to get a new one. I'm looking for a one piece (or two but a high waisted bottom). I'm petite but I have no boobs to speak of anymore (thank you, children) and perpetually look 5 months pregnant so some tummy control would be nice.

I don't have a specific suit to recommend but I love Lands End swimwear. I typically do a rash guard top and rotate high waist regular bottom, swim skirt, and swim shorts depending on what we are doing. I know a lot of the one pieces have tummy control. Most suits also have a petite option.

@catgirl: yes to Lands End, so many options! And so many sales - never pay anywhere close to full price
One of my favorite combos is a swim skirt that has a high waist with nice compression and a tank that is billowy. Mine is from a prior year but same idea below. Many variations on these also if you want a different length or fit.
I also just got a swim dress I love. They don’t come with bottoms which is annoying so I picked some up on Amazon since they don’t show. I can’t find the exact one but here’s a bunch
ETA those all seem to have bottoms built in! So maybe they changed the style.

Summersalt! The sidestroke is so cute and flattering. I also like their high waisted bottoms.
-
@JJ2626: Seconded, I love my Summersalt Sidestroke! I also have the Tulum from Andie Swim and really like it too.
-
Summersalt and Andie! Classy and flattering!

I have been considering the Summersault Sidestroke. I may just have to try it.
I prefer a tankini for coverage and ease of access but find that the flowy tops float up when swimming and expose my tummy anyway. I've been looking for a fitted tankini option and am not having any luck without a high neck.

Boden has great suits that offer good tummy support! I love this style: https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/corsica-swimsuit-french-navy-summer-paisley/sty-s0148-nar?cat=C1_S2_G17

https://albionfit.com/collections/swim-bottoms/products/midnight-dash-ruched-high-waisted-bottomsThis is the first bathing suit I've ever owned that is comfortable, I'm not constantly tugging on, and I feel good in. Seriously.
I'm between a small and a medium (probably a little more toward medium these days, but still small breasts) and I ordered a medium, and its been great. -
I was asking this exact question of the internet recently and ended up buying this one from Amazon. It is really flattering and way cheaper then most of the tummy control ones I looked at. It has almost 20,000 reviews

@JCCovi: Amazon really does have great cheap suits!
-
Thanks for the tips everyone! I had a Boden suit for the past couple of years that I loved but I wasn't into any of their designs this year. This post reminded me to look at Lands End and I just ordered two. Fingers crossed they fit!

Idk if there are any other tall ladies on here, but I’m 5’11” with a long torso so one pieces usually end up pulling too low at the top and too high on bottom and most high waisted bottoms wind up hitting at my jiggliest spot just below my belly button. But this one from Amazon of all places goes all the way to my natural waist and has full coverage in back. I have black and red and they’re both great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07P6JPDS4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
