    Maternity swimwear!

    There's hardly anything out there!! I kinda want shorts so I don't have to show my legs LOL.. but that means still buying a 2 piece, and then the boardies. But I've only really found 2 sites that sell decent maternity swimwear.

    Any suggestions where to buy?

    I bought mine from Pumpkin Patch when I was pregnant with Zander, one piece black swimmers & blue board shorts. Though it was close to three years ago!

    I never had maternity swimmers but I used Tankinis, ones with 3 pieces (bottoms, bikini top and tank) that way if you're alone you can tan your tummy (carefully) without looking like a beached, white whale lol! I used miine after as well whereas with a maternity swimsuit they were too baggy round the middle.

    Hello!

    I used a non-maternity tankini too - just a 2 piece one, so that as my belly grew, it could peep out of the gap. Not sure whether they have them in NSW, but Swimwear Galore has a reasonable range of maternity swimwear.

    I just bought a cheap 2 piece bather set from K Mart a couple sizes bigger than what I would normally wear & some boardies too. As the boardies did up with velcro they sat nicely under my bump & I wore them heaps.

    I bought mine from Belly Basics. Bit more $$ but it was so comfy to wear (this pregnancy) when taking DD#2 swimming. I think i will get away with wearing it when not pregnant too..

    yep i bought 2 pairs from belly basics, i think they were even on sale and not too expensive..
    I got one glam (well glam as you can be as a preg woman in bathers) pair for a holiday and a more plain one piece for my lap swimming - both still look good....
    i also saw some nice ones at egg maternity and fragile (depending where you are and how much you want to spend)

    I have a tankini top I bought off the Zodee website (also the last place on earth to buy the Berlei sports maternity bra!), it's a Baku one in a DD/E cup and it's got ruched detailing...which turns out to look like it will be perfect for my next pg. I just nipped a hole into the floating bra underwire fabric and slipped out the wire
    During pg I wore a DD halter bikini top and boy leg shorts separates (as they are low-lying, they sat under the belly perfectly)
