The Bra Sized Swimsuit Breakdown

Consider this the Beach2Ocean style guide to bra sized swim.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by your swimsuit ✋ 

Yep, us too. 

We’ve all been there: on the beach or by the pool, tugging, shimmying, lifting and retying a top that just won't stay put. You’re just trying to enjoy the sun and somehow your swimsuit is making you feel like you’re the problem, when really, the problem is the sizing. 

This is exactly why bra sized swimsuits exist. Swim tops that fit like bras let you skip the guessing games and leave the annoying adjusting in public behind. 

Generic sizing (you know, small, medium, large) wasn’t designed with every woman in mind, especially women with fuller busts. This is where bra sized swim changes everything. Bra sized swimsuits that are actually designed like bras work with your measurements, giving you the real support you need without constant worry and fidgeting.

 

Now are you seeing what makes bra sized swimwear so amazing? 

“What else makes bra sized swimwear the right choice for you”, you ask? Let’s break it down: 

1. Accurate sizing

Unlike a traditional swim top, bra sized bikinis, tankinis, and one pieces are designed around band and cup measurements, just like your everyday bra. This means that as long as you can measure yourself, your top is definitely going to fit you. This ensures a better fit, lift, and bust shape. It also means that you’ll find a more consistent fit across multiple styles.

If you need help learning how to measure yourself, our fit experts have broken it down easily for you to do, here.

2. Real, bra-like support

Bra sized swim tops are built to mimic actual bra construction. So while sizing plays a key role, it’s about the construction, too. You’ll find features like underwire, molded cups, adjustable straps, hook and eye closures, and more thoughtful structure in bra sized swim tops. These details are added to prevent the issues that we mentioned earlier with traditional swim tops: 

• • Underwire - great for lift and support
  • Molded cups - great for structure and shaping
  • Adjustable straps - great for fine tuning your fit. You can relax the straps if they dig, or tighten them for extra lift if you want more support.
  • Hook and eye closures - great for a reliable, anchored feel. It makes the band snug and supportive (considering the band is responsible for a big portion of the lift you feel) and you have the ability to tighten or loosen the fit as you like. 

   

3. All day comfort

When the top you’re wearing is actually made for you, you’re bound to be more comfortable wearing it. Your straps won't dig, you won't feel strain on your neck from a halter, and you won’t have to over tighten or adjust just to get the lift you need.

4. Shape

Just like your favorite  bra, a bra sized swim top lifts, rounds, and centers your bust more naturally - allowing you to feel secure and comfortable whether you’re swimming laps or lounging by the ocean.

5. Perfect for a big bust, great for everyone

Women with a bigger bust (DD+) often struggle the most with the standard swimsuit sizes. Bra sized swim is a game changer for them, and even for women with smaller cup sizes who are looking for a more precise fit, tailored shaping, and stay put support.

6. Styles don’t look like bras 

Worried bra sized means boring? Not here. Beach2Ocean is proud to offer a variety of bra sized swimsuit tops in a wide range of styles so you can find exactly what you’re looking for without compromising style. Some of our favorite styles are underwire, balconette, tankinis, even some one-pieces, too.
