Finding the perfect swimsuits for mom bodies has to be one of the toughest tasks us women face. Between saggy boobs and a few extra pounds around our waist (#KeepinItReal) it’s not easy to find something that looks flattering while being comfortable enough to chase toddlers in. Not to worry though, I have scoured the web, spent hours trying on suits, even shed a few tears, but it was all worthwhile because I came up with the ultimate list of mom bathing suits and you are going to LOVE it!

Swimsuit Tops (swimsuits for large busts)
Whether you are naturally blessed with a large bust or you are blessed by the nursing fairy here are suits that will keep your gals in the right place + support you so that you feel comfortable AND LOOK AMAZING in your bathing suit. CLICK TO SCROLL THE STYLES
Swimsuit Tops (swimsuits for small busts)
If you have a small bust consider an underwire. “It gives shape to small busts,” says Suze Yalof Schwartz. This is also a great place to add extras like ruffles, beads, embroidery. It adds bulk and is visually more appealing. Make sure to steer clear of athletic styles like a bandeau as they will flatten you out. CLICK TO SCROLL THE STYLES
Swim Skirts & Swim Shorts (to cover your bum)
If you are like me, you might prefer a swimsuit that provides coverage for your rear. These swim skirts and swim shorts do just that. *TIP- to lessen the focus down there try a flattering top in a lighter color or a fun pattern. It will help to draw attention away from your bottom.

Beach Cover-Ups
I LOVE a good beach cover-up. I always make sure to pack one for the girls and me. In fact, the truth is I am probably in my cover-up more than I am in my suit. Especially, if we are hanging out at the beach or at a resort. Here are a few beach cover-ups that I love. CLICK TO SCROLL THE STYLES

5 Tips for Finding the BEST Swimsuits for Mom Bodies
1 Have a POSITIVE Attitude- Truth is you are your worst critic so before shopping give yourself a pep talk (YES! I am serious). Remind yourself that your kids and your husband love you just as you are. And, that body of yours… that gave you the beautiful babies that you are about to go and splash around the pool in.
2 Know Your Sizes- If you are ordering online pay attention to the sizing guidelines and take the time to actually measure yourself. And, if you prefer you can also order a few sizes and return the ones that don’t fit. That’s what I usually do. Just make sure you read the return policies thoroughly and that you return them on time.
3 Keep an Open Mind- I was stuck thinking that a tankini was the only possible choice for me after having kids. However, my friend urged me to try things that I would never have chosen myself. Turns out I loved them even more. So, be open to suggestions from friends, blogs, magazines. You never know what you might have passed up until you try it on.
4 Don’t Try On Suits When You Are Bloated (or have PMS)- truth! The bloat game is real and there is no need to make this any harder on yourself. Make sure not to eat anything that makes you bloat and schedule your try on sesh outside the week that you are suffering from PMS.
5 SMILE!- It really is true that everyone looks a million times prettier when they have a smile on their face. So, brush those pearly whites and make sure you wear a smile when you look in the mirror.
Happy Swimsuit Shopping Mamas!!!
