Plus size swimwear

As I continue on my forever journey to lose weight and be healthy, I’m in the market for new plus size swimwear that compliments my curvy body.

At the end of this month, I’ll be on the beach and I’ve been considering my swimwear options. I can’t tell the last time I was on a beach in only swimwear…I’ve mostly kept my coverup cute but I’ve been inspired by two bloggers who’ve stepped out of their comfort zones.

Cheap plus size swimwear can be hard to come by since it takes special effort to hold all the jiggle in place so we big girl can look comfy and cute at the same time. I’ve luckily been able to find some plus size swimwear gems on Amazon!

Since I published this post, my mom has also started making swimwear and so the majority of the pieces in my closet are from her. Check out this post if you want something custom made.

My Current Fave Plus Size Swimwear Bloggers

Gabifresh listens to her own beat…she doesn’t care what you think and I love that about her because she does it stylishly, it doesn’t look weird or hippie…it looks trendy and fabulous.

Brave! I love it! She looks fabulous too. Can I pull it off? Afrobella, another blogger I admire a lot also took the swimsuit plunge recently…

It helps a lot to see “real women” in swimsuits and not the airbrushed women you see on websites because a hangup of mine that I always had was my stomach area.

I’ve always said to myself that life would be so much easier if I didn’t have a belly cus really I don’t need to be skinny I just want a flat belly…..oxymoron?

Like if I could pay for surgery to cut it off and be done with it I probably would have but now that I have more to live for but myself I’ve ruled that out…

Look at chica working the hell out of that red swimsuit! Wouldn’t it be nice if I could have such a flat tummy? How do they do that? I mean I’m sure that’s airbrushed but look at this chica…

Wow! I dunno her I reblogged it on my tumblr…but she is fiyah! And her tummy is so flat! LOL anyway I’m not obsessing over this anymore. I could never look like that anyway I have no hips or ass. Sooooooo at this party I’m going to, I will be taking on my own swimsuit challenge. I think. I’ma try!

I love these Monif C suits! The yellow would look great on me! Covered enough to not feel self-conscious and able to enjoy the party…..at $130 a pop I’ll pass though.

My momma made me a swimsuit a couple years ago that’s hanging on my bedroom door. I’ma wear it…yes I’m is!!!

I think.

This one from Coastal Blue is lovely! I’m trying to shy away from just going with the black. This salmon colour is gorgeous.

This one is perfect! High-waisted bikini with tummy control and a slick little top to highlight the girls. That’ll take away attention from the tummy area. The print will also detract from any bulges. Check, please! *adds to cart*

Here’s one I can personally recommend. If you want to go full coverage, this is it. If you want to zip down the front fir a little va-va-voom in such a full swimsuit, this is it too!
