20 Best Bikinis For Love Handles (2023 Updated)

I absolutely LOVE this swim top. In fact I love it so much that I have it in 5 different colors (each and every one of which I have received tons of compliments on!)! This site is now the only place I buy swimwear from because not only is always a perfect fit but it’s actually AFFORDABLE as well!! I actually live on a tropical island with dozens of swimwear stores of all kinds (its amazing how many tourists forget to bring their swimsuits!).

You would think that finding a top that fit me would be easy but it is truly almost impossible. Most swimwear is divided into 2 sections: “old lady” full body coverage in awful gaudy prints, and skimpy to normal swimwear.

Unfortunately trying to find something to fit my 36 G (38 DDD sister size) boobs results in being forced to either shop in the “old lady” section or having a normal top specifically altered. This is due to the fact that the tops are not sized like bras with a the ability to buy large cups with a smaller band, instead the sizes are S,M,L,XL,XXL and having a large cup size means you have to get a large band size too.

Of course this doesn’t apply to string tie halter style tops, but anyone with a large bust knows that any top that ties around your neck is going to result in pain and a huge red indent around your neck.

So basically if I want to buy a swim top from a local store it will end up costing over $100 after getting it altered to fit my band size. Keep in mind that even at that ridiculous price the top usually a basic solid color and not a cute print! I haven’t been to shop locally for a swimsuit in 3 years now.

After buying a cute top in my exact bra size AND matching bottoms from Smart & Sexy for a total of $37 (thats if there is no sale going on!) I will never again spend $150+ for a boring plain top and bottom that I have to get altered! This top is absolutely PERFECT! Awesome patterns, adjustable straps, incredible support, 2 easy to slide in hooks, and my exact band size results in the most comfortable and supportive swim top I have ever owned! No more indentions from ties, no more back aches after wearing all day, no more “oops my boob popped out in front of everyone”, no more hours spent shopping for a swimsuit that actually fits! I never thought I would be able to find a cute, affordable, perfect fitting swim top online! THANK YOU SMART & SEXY!!!.

How AMAZING is this WEBSITE & How cool is this bathing suit top? I mean. , there are so many things you can do with it. Obviously you would wear it for its purpose, but some of the colors (especially the neon) would look so good under a black blazer or even under a mesh type shirt, or even to the gym!! That’s right, the possibilities are endless.

That’s why I’m back on here today. I actually come visit often. Just to see if anything is new. I already have the one with the cherries on it. Now I’m on the hunt for that neon one. Haha! It had me dreaming about it.

The quality, the feel, the design. It’s so sturdy & made so incredibly well that I could live in it. I ordered my normal size which is normally 40 DD. I do have to say, that all the pieces I ordered in that size were snug.

Now IDK if the problem is me or just their cut? Almost every brand has its own cut or style that just may fit ur body a little differently. Overall I’m so impressed. My first order, I ordered over $70 worth of items blindly.

I kept everything! First time was a HIT! Having a huge chest on a small frame, 5ft2, is challenging in itself. Finding a great bra for a reasonable price, to fit that frame is. , priceless!! I have spent a small fortune on bras in my lifetime & now I don’t have to anymore!! That’s why this review is so long! I feel REDEEMED!!! Plus I’m going crazy being in Quarantine.

I hope this info helped you in making a decision?.

This top is really well constructed. I still have to return mine because it is too big at a 34DD even though I usually wear a 34DDD+. It is large in the band (S&S recommends I wear a 36/38 but I know better) and the cup (gapping around my breasts).

I wanted to exchange it, but it isn’t available in a smaller size so I will have to have it tailored. I can’t give it less than 4 stars because it is a nice product, I just can’t use it as is. Be aware it runs large.

I’ve been a huge fan of these undies for a few years now and recently stocked up on a smaller size (thanks Treadmill). For a few months I thought Gap had discontinued this style but alas, they are back! I’ve tried the similar “Lace Cheeky” and they just don’t cut it for my caboose.

I love that the shorty style doesn’t cut into my thighs and they don’t show panty lines, all while staying put and not riding up. They are surprisingly soft for lace. CUTE too. GAP, please don’t ever drop this style! I hope you’ll add more colors.

Sad to see the nude color is sold out!.

I have lots of La Blanca swimwear that I love. Ive seen La Blanca by Rod Beattie, and his website states he designed for La Blanca before having his own line, so I thought it would be of similar quality.

Its not. Compared to La Blanca, these bikini bottoms are thin and flimsy. Would not purchase his line sight unseen again.

Perfect little black bikini bottom. Will go with any bikini top or tankini. The waistband makes it flattering and gives enough interest to be cute, but also basic enough to coordinate with any other pieces.

Perfect amount of coverage for me. Love it!.

Beautiful ombré color which enhances nice moderate coverage. Gorgeous. I feel secure and comfortable. Great design .

Ridiculous size. Ordered a 36c, I’m 35 inches underbust. This was tiny, I lay it out to measure it and it only reaches 36inches fully stretched to its extreme. Needless to say it was returned.

Bin mega happy 🙂

I needed to find undies with decent cheek coverage so they don’t ride up. I ride horses and the wrong undies are a nightmare. These are comfortable and don’t ride up when I’m riding or just running errands/working out.

I’m 5’7” and 140 lbs and a size Medium is a perfect fit.

I love Lively’s bras and thought I would try out their underwear too. I’m not a thong girl so I was really excited to see they had regular cotton underwear! I usually go for the more lace-y stuff, but I’m actually obsessed with these.

I got the striped print, and wish the palm print was in my size because they are just that comfy! It’s my favorite go-to pair of underwear for everyday. I might just buy more pairs of the striped one so I can rotate!.

I first bought the palm lace bikini which are very soft and silky, and out of the box these cotton undies don’t feel quite as soft. However, they are very comfortable and feel amazing on. They have good coverage and stay in place.

These are still a great pair of undies, and I highly recommend them!.

Okay, warning. this is going to be a tad long but I hope it helps someone else when ordering. With that said, I just had breast reduction surgery. I was a 36 DDD natural and there is no way this top in DDD would have fit me or anyone else this size that is natural.

maybe if you are augmented and top stay in place it would work, but if you are natural and you shift, no way. I say this because it also goes for you if you are a DD. I want to add that I have been buying from Venus for many years and absolutely love almost everything I have ordered over the years.

BUT something has happened the last two years with their swim top sizing. The sizing has become not true to real life sizing and I am having to return every swim top that I have purchased over the last several months.

I do not know how to get this resolved with Venus and wonder if anyone else is having this issue. Anyway, after my surgery and I am healing so I’m not exactly sure what size I will end up at, I bought the DD.

It too is a really small top, but because I had a lift with the reduction, my girls are no longer shifting, they are staying in place as if I had an augmentation, so i believe this top will work out okay.

still not perfect coverage for a true DD size, in my opinion, but I just love the blue, white and pink colors of this swim top so I’m keeping it. I’m 5′ tall, 137 lbs. and I wear the size 8 bottoms which fit perfect.

I was looking for something that provided more coverage than my usual bikini to wear when not just going to the beach or working on my tan. This fits great and looks good on! It is stylish enough that I don’t feel matronly in it! The print is super cute.

I can wear this to our neighborhood pool parties without feeling overexposed. Venus is a great company–I can order items with confidence knowing that the size will fit and the pieces last for several years.

I have been especially pleased with their return policy and customer service. Although I have only had to return 2 items in the past, they made the return easy and painless. Venus is my go to company for swimwear!.

Sizes do run small. I originally ordered a size 14 and it was too small. I returned it and ordered a size 18. I did the measurments. (I measured BUST: 44 inchs WAIST: 45 inches HIPS 45 inches) I am 5’8 amd weight 200lbs.

I carry most of my weight in my chest and stomach so those were the 2 main areas i wanted to control. I hope this information helps you as the pictures help but I noticed in many reviews it’s hard to find the size they ordered or their measurments.

So, I am sharing this in hopes this will help others. But I do HIGHLY suggest to measure yourself and order based off the measurments. Outside of that I LOVE the top! Just as pictured.

This bathing suit fits so well! It has always been so hard for me to find good ones that fit well, with my big boobies. It’s so comfortable and very supportive even though there is no underwire. I would recommend this to any woman that has a large chest, you won’t regret it! I also got the black bottoms and the hat too!!! They have all been Florida beach tested, and I approve.

I have this exact swimsuit in several colors all in the same size. This one is way smaller it cuts off my circulation…. even though it’s the same size as the other colors. All colors were bought same month.

So why is this one so much smaller? The leg openings are also different sizes on the left and right. Very uneven.

I’m a big fan of the flounce bikini tops. Great fit and they are very flattering as far as giving you good coverage without having the swimsuit be tight across your stomach. However, I have one suggestion.

I would LOVE to see the flounce tops in some different solid colors!! I have the solid black (shown here) and a previously available pattern. I would definitely buy it in other solid colors like coral, green, blue, etc.

for mixing and matching.

I wear a 34A/B size bra. My measurements were between a size 4 and 6. I ended up ordering a size 4 top. I love it–very flattering, very supportive, will keep everything in place, full coverage cups.

It does fit a bit snug on me if zipped all the way up, I maybe will go up a size next time, but I do like that it is so supportive/no cup gapping. I’d rather have that than too big which is almost always a problem with my small bust size.

It may stretch a bit once wet too which will make for a more comfortable fit. Overall, very very cute and stylish–can’t wait to wear it and I would recommend.

This was exactly what I was looking for! I’m at the age where I’m not quite ready to give up a bikini but not quite fit enough for a low rise. This bikini bottom gives great cover without sacrificing style.

My suggestion is to order a size down as they do run a little bit large. The matching top is very true to size. I am a 38 triple C and ordered a large which fit perfectly.

I’m between sizes. I read from the reviews the recommendation to size down if between sizes. I disagree. I’m a 4 or 6 and ordered the 4. While it fits, it’s tight in the waist. I would have returned for a size 6, but did not have time to wait for a new bikini before a vacation.

If between sizes I would size up because otherwise this swimsuit bottom is gorgeous and makes me look like I got junk in my trunk.

Literally in the cutest print they have on this website – I got so many compliments! The material is really great and the band size and straps are both adjustable. This is needed because if you have above a B cup, size up.

I’m a 32C (aka not that big lol) and I got a large and still was kinda spilling out of the cups. So yeah, just be wary of the sizing here but its so cute still. I’m glad I got this one rather than any of the other ones in this print just because of the adjustability and the cute bow in the front between the cups.

I also just prefer a non-halter top on myself so this is basically perfect for me :).

I was advised by the company to purchase a size XL top due to my typical bra size (34DD). I have little to no faith that the cup material is any bigger than the other sizes. The underwire and straps are probably the only things worthy of an XL size tag.

Literally every time I looked down, my nipples were out. I have implants so it’s not like the top has a hard job to do. it literally only needed enough material to cover my *******. An XL should have been able to accomplish that.

Not to mention the material also rolls in, exposing the white lining.

When I tell you this suit is amazing I mean it! I’ve been shopping blackbough since 2019 and I have 8 bikini sets from them. This is top tier. They just keep getting better and better in terms of unique prints, styles and most importantly QUALITY.

Their 2022 quality is unmatched. Smooth like butter on the skin. I’m 5 ft 3. Waist 28 inches. Bust 32C. Hips 37 inches. Medium fits perfectly.

Purchased an XL, usually purchase an L or XL, and returned for the high waist more coverage bottom and even that runs small. I’ve never claimed to be a skinny person, size 10 pants/dress, but this sizing seems off.

The print, fabric, and messaging are all beautiful. Working with the chat customer service was also a dream. Also got the matching swim trunks for my bf, that sizing seems more like what I’d expect, and he loves having all of the pockets in the trunks.

I’ll definitely be coming back.

I bought matching suits – Beverly hills print for our 35th wedding anniversary in Jamaica. We got soooo many compliments! The suits looked great! Awesome quality and fit plus the prints are gorgeous! I want them all! We even got a shout out from someone who said “ hey – I love your Kenny Flowers!” You guys certainly have a following.

Hi, I purchased two bottoms to go along with my triangle top. I’m glad I did this because the sizing is off. The string bottom size Small fits perfectly, but the sport bottom is too small and online it never showed the back of them.

The string bottom back is bigger than the sporty bottom back of it which is more Brazilian style. I tried to return it online for a size Medium but it was all always Sold Out. Therefore, I have kept it because no other purchases could match.

While I do love the string top and bottom, I am disappointed about not being able to use or return the sporty bottom bikini one.
