This one-piece with just enough ruching
Amazon rating: 4.4 out of 5
Sizes: XS-XXL
More than 29,000 people have purchased and rated this swimsuit, with the majority absolutely loving it. The straps are adjustable so you can make sure it fits just right. The built-in tummy control and gentle ruching make it flattering for a wide range of body types.
Promising review: “I ordered a size L, I’m 5’9 and 160 lbs, and four months postpartum. I’ve definitely still got the baby weight in places that I’m insecure about, and I wanted a more full-coverage swimsuit than a bikini. An upcoming visit to an indoor water park prompted me to start looking for a one-piece suit, and I landed on this one. It’s cute and does the trick of making me feel comfortable and confident while hiding the bits I don’t want everyone else to see. I wish it was a little more supportive of my chest, but that’s a minor issue and probably has more to do with birthing four kids. I also am fine with the back butt coverage. I hate with a passion swimsuits that ride up and simultaneously give you a massive wedgie while exposing your entire backside, but this one was totally fine for me. That is to say it is slightly cheeky, so be aware that this will not be your mom’s idea of a full coverage one piece swimsuit.” — Charlotte N.

This string bikini
Amazon rating: 4.4 out of 5
Sizes: XS-XXL
Made with nylon and spandex, this Brazilian-cut string bikini promises to be both stretchy and comfy. Both the top and bottom are adjustable, so you can make sure they fit snug.
Promising review: “OK I never leave reviews but I need to speak my TRUTH. This bathing suit is fabulous. The top and bottoms fit so comfortably!!! Not only that, this is the only ‘tie’/triangle bathing suit (if that makes sense) where the bottoms are not a literal piece of string. They actually cover the butt well and this suit is perfect for tanning. That being said, I’m not sure how it would go with any water aerobic activity to be quite frank. But anyways, if you’re just going to be tanning, sitting in a pool or just casually swimming in the ocean while not having your bum out, this suit is a requirement. For sizing reference, I ordered a size medium. I am 5 '4, probably 155 lbs right now with a more athletic build, my chest is a 34/36 B/C. GET THIS. I’M SERIOUS.” — Anna Alibrandi

Promising review: “This swimsuit fits absolutely perfectly. I love, love, love it! I’m 5’8” 135 lbs and medium size works very well. It wasn't too tight either. I still have room to breathe. The size guide measurements are accurate. I put it on and was immediately pleased with the feel and fit of the product. It makes my figure look even better and boosts my confidence, which is stellar considering how conscientious of ourselves we are when wearing bathing suits. Great purchase.” — Kari

This lace-up one-piece
Amazon rating: 4.4 out of 5
Sizes: XS-XXL
Customers who bought this lace-up one-piece like how comfortable the ribbed fabric is and say it's flattering.
Promising review: “This one-piece swimsuit is by far the most flattering for my body type. I have a short, wide torso and am curvy from the waist down. This swimsuit does not make me feel self-conscious and the material is comfortable. I thought that the style would be too revealing, but it compliments me in the right areas. I feel so confident wearing this, however, I wouldn’t suggest this for bigger-busted women or for those looking for support in the chest. The bra padding is minimal. I now have this swimsuit in black and the amber color, both are very pretty! I will buy it in more colors!” — Raquel
