    Promising review: "If I could leave more than 5 stars for this swimsuit, I WOULD!!!! I want to scream from the rooftops about how amazing the fit and feel of this beautiful set. I put this on and immediately felt like a million dollars. The top boasts padded cups and adjustable everything, making it fit well no matter your size. I generally have a hard time staying in bikini cups, and I was able to tighten the back AND sides of this suit for a perfect fit. Well-made, well-loved, and I will wear this suit to EVERY beach and pool party from now on!!" —Annie Hinz

    Promising review: "DO NOT hesitate, buy this bathing suit! You will thank me later LOL. I’m a breastfeeding mom with HUGE boobs! This suit covers and supports me. It’s super cute and the material is thick. I would buy more as my go-to dresses! ALSO, I never take the time to write a novel like this, BUT I’ve worked for a high-end swimsuit company for years and can tell you I have never found something that holds and gives coverage like this suit does. For anybody on the fence, just give it a shot!" —Brittany S

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XL–5XL and 20 patterns).

    4. A lovely little one-piece number, perfect for the tropical vacation you've been planning for months to help you get through the winter.

    Promising review: "Bought my first Kona Sol suit last year and loved the style and fit, so when I saw this new one, I had to try it! Did not disappoint! Fit snug in all the right places without being too constricting or revealing! It’s hard to feel confident and comfortable in a swimsuit, but this one does it for me! Give it a try!" —E

    Get it from Target for $42 (available in sizes S–XL).

    5. A crossover one-piece you can count on to pair nicely with that fantastic oversized sun hat you snagged last summer to channel your best Meredith Blake vibes.

    Staykini, Stephanie Hope / BuzzFeed

    Staykinii is a woman-owned small business that sells bathing suits you can rely on to stay in place. BuzzFeed writer Stephanie Hope recently tested out this bikini and is a big fan! She said:

    "Okay so, being the compulsive shopper I am, I obviously had to get it and test it out for you all. First I tried it with just the adhesives and let me tell you...that...was...stuck. The top wasn't going ANYWHERE. Even to remove it, the adhesive was so stuck I thought the bra would simply become one of me. However, with all that being said...my confidence in my breasts not popping out, despite the amazing adhesion, was very low. It absolutely takes time for you to feel comfortable and confident it'll stay on. If you peep on their website, you can see all kinds of videos of other customers doing super active things and the top staying on! The adhesion was there...my confidence was not. The good news is that it comes with straps you can add! Huzzah!"

    Get the top from Staykini for $124 (available in sizes 2XS–M and four colors) and the bottoms for $68 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors).

    7. A monokini with a mesh cutout so you don't have to worry about accidentally flashing someone — you'll thank me when you're able to swan dive into the pool without a care in the world.

This suit totally did it for me! I checked the dimensions and ordered accordingly, perfect fit! I can’t wait to prance around the ship while throwing back margaritas with my crew!" —Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 25 styles).

    Promising review: "I really love this swimsuit! It has really great support and the wrap allows you to adjust the support level as well. I wear a 36DD and have wide set boobs but this is the first item that's EVER given me any kind of cleavage while also feeling supportive! The color is so nice, the fabric is very soft and comfortable, and I love how it looks. Highly recommended!" —SAVANNAH

    Get it from Aerie for $25 (originally $34.95; available in sizes 2XS–2XL and in three colors).

    Promising review: "Gorgeous and versatile! I was finally able to be comfortable at the beach and comfortable walking around town afterwards while on vacation in the Caribbean. Dries fairly quickly! Does not excessively weigh you down when wet. Sand washes off easily. Turban stays on! It is form-fitting because of the material so if you prefer looser clothing, consider ordering a size up." —A.Nobody.Somebody

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–4XL and three colors).

    11. A retro-inspired high-cut one piece that'll justify coordinating a Sports Illustrated-worthy photo shoot during your next beach trip — this suit deserves the recognition.

They even gave a complimentary pack of metallic tattoos. This is my second bathing suit from this company, and I want to get a few other colors now." —Diane

    Promising review: "Love, love, love this suit! It's comfortable, looks cute, and actually covers your butt instead of trying to climb up it. It has soft cups, but if you aren't very busty, it doesn't matter because the ruffle covers you up." —CB

    Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 14 styles).

    Promising review: "I'm definitely a pear-shaped girl and this swimsuit does wonders. It does so much for my figure and I feel so confident wearing it. I ordered an XL based on the reviews and it fits perfectly! Don't be afraid to order the XL if you're usually a medium, guys. You'll thank me later. I look hot! Definitely looks like it's way more expensive than what you're paying for." —Destiny Warren

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes 4–6 and three styles).

    15. A three-piece set featuring a bikini and a skirt you can toss on when heading over to the bar to grab one of those fancy Instagram-worthy drinks they're always serving at resorts.

    Promising review: "This is a great suit. I would like to note I was wearing a bathing suit for the first time in many seasons — so I wasn’t thinking ahead about wearing sunscreen under the torso area. Unfortunately I spent way too much time outdoors wearing this well-fitting, comfortable, fairly conservatively cut suit. It doesn’t ride up. I didn’t need the straps that came with it and I was delighted to find there were two options — wide straps and string spaghetti style. Nice to have that alternative. However, I burned my belly and now will have this lovely decorative lace element on my abdomen all summer long! Don’t be me — wear sunscreen EVERYWHERE!! Probably gonna buy another color, but the navy is gorgeous!!" —Ellen Delano

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes 4–16 and 11 styles).

    17. A bathing suit to show off *all your curves and all your edges* a la John Legend's hit — it comes in an array of colors so when you inevitably fall in love with it you can circle back for more.

    Free People

    My cousin is quiiiiiiiite the swimwear connoisseur (she once bought 20 new ones for a week long cruise) and is a big fan of Stone Fox Swim. She's tried many different brands and had nothing but good things to say about this one when I asked her for some recommendations. You can rest knowing this one is Floridian-approved.

    Promising review: "Love the material, it’s super soft. Double-lined, so it’s not see through." —Laurenggarcia

    Get it from Free People for $90 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors).

    18. A long-sleeve rash guard top and ruched high-waisted bottoms for anyone who is looking to slay it at the beach while avoiding a nasty sunburn.

    Promising review: "Loved this suit! I went to Mexico on vacation and was concerned with getting too much sun. The top was perfect and I was expecting to hate the bottoms but they fit and looked great for my frame! Not only was this functional but super cute and I received a lot of compliments. I also did not get sunburned laying on the beach all day." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4–14 and six styles).

    19. A halter bikini to provide your chest with support in case you get ~wild~ and want to cannonball into the water.

    Promising review: "This bathing suit is adorable and super comfortable. Make sure to check the sizing though! This bathing suit runs large. I ordered the medium based on the sizing chart, which fit really well but I am definitely a size large with any other bathing suit (and sometime larges are even a little small). That being said the top is a little large but the bottoms are perfect. Can't wait to wear it at the beach." —Margaret

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S–L).

    20. A pineapple-print bikini, a must-have if you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain.

    Promising review: "Just received today and completely in love with my purchase! Practically waited outside for the delivery. True to size, as I ordered a medium. As far as the top, I am a 34D and I adjusted the straps the furthest they could go and it fits perfectly. The bottoms come past my belly button ring and are not too tight or anything. Plenty of breathing room on the top and bottom." —Brittany Jones

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–L and six styles).

    21. A knotted swimsuit that'll make you feel so cool you won't even notice the hot sun beaming down on you.

    Promising review: "I’m always nervous about buying bathing suits on Amazon and I have had some bad experiences, but this one changed it all! This bathing suit is cute. The legs are cut just high enough and the bottoms go up to my belly button. The material is soft and stretchy, and it’s lined on the inside, so not see-through!!" —gchart

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 16 styles).

    Promising review: "This bathing suit was just what I needed for a food and drink–inclusive party. The fabric did not feel cheap and the color was super vibrant. I was very happy with the fit, quality, and style of this bathing suit. The backside provides coverage and is not high cut at all. Sexy but full coverage pretty much everywhere." —Rey

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL, 18–24 and 27 styles).

    24. A retro-styled one-piece to make you feel glamorous, even when you're sweating while reading a novel by the pool.

    Promising review: "This was my first attempt at buying a swimsuit online without trying it on, and I was super nervous...but I LOVE this suit. Finding swimsuits is always a hassle with my bust size (36D) but this keeps my boobs covered. I got an XL, and it's perfect. No cutting into my skin anywhere. I was so excited to find out that it has a lining, so there's a double layer. Definitely recommend!" —Idkeim

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 15 styles).

    25. A detailed one-piece that'll make you ~halt~ and strike a pose because you'll look so fantastic wearing it — it has stunning lace detailing you won't be able to stop bragging about.

    Promising review: "I immediately fell in love with this swimsuit and needed it relatively quickly. I decided to order an XL because I'm large chested and larges seem to be cut a bit small. The piece is well-made and perfect for a chill day on the beach. Very good quality and looks expensive. I got so many compliments on it and I plan on wearing it often! Best swimsuit purchase I've made!" —Liv Vernay

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and three styles).

    Wild Isles is a woman-owned small business based in Minneapolis that sustainably creates fun and tailored pieces for women, especially those with larger breasts, to feel confident in.

    Promising review: "OBSESSED! I cannot say enough good things about Wild Isles! I bought this suit on a whim and OH MY GOSH it is incredible. I honestly don't think I've ever felt comfortable or sexy in a swimsuit, but this one did the impossible! It is amazing quality, sexy, but still modest. It holds the girls in and feels like I could jump around and do flips without the dreaded 'nip slip.' Wild Isles, you guys totally know what you are doing!" —Madeline

    Promising review: "Super unique style that fits amazingly well. It has adjustable straps to help with that perfect fit. I got the tie-dye and the fabric Is good quality, not thin. It has nice padded inserts. The bottom has nice ruched stitching so you can adjust coverage from more coverage to less. I am considering getting another!" —shoppingbear

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 19 colors).

    BuzzFeed / Heather Braga, www.amazon.com

    Before you start yelling at me via the comments that you're tired of seeing this bathing suit, hear me out. I took my own advice and purchased this ever-popular suit and — WHATTYA KNOW — it's amazing. I was worried about putting it in the wash, but surprisingly all of the pom-poms stayed intact. The only suggestion I have for you is to remember to put sunscreen on your lil' exposed mid-section. I forgot and paid the price with a strip of not-so-cute red across my entire body. Ouch.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and 17 styles).

    29. Simple high-waisted bottoms you'll be able to pair with any and every top you find for the next few years.

    a different reviewer wearing the bathing suit top in light blue

    Promising review: "No more compromise! I have never been happier with a swimsuit top. It is incredibly supportive (wave tested!) without being constraining. The underwire is completely comfortable and discreet. The colors are fun and bright! I absolutely recommend for anyone that has a hard time finding something that is both supportive and cute. I've never ordered a swimsuit online before, but I went out on a limb based on the reviews and was not disappointed!" —K. Healy

    Promising review: "Talk about the best bathing suit ever!! I normally don't purchase bathing suits online, but this one is perfect. I followed the sizing guidelines, and it fits so true to size!! I love the adjustable straps as well. I'm top-heavy and nervous about a top not holding me up well, but this is the very few that have done the job. I will definitely be buying another one." —Erica Faircloth

    Promising review: "I really like this bathing suit. It's well-made, thick, and very soft. The bottom does not slip and slide, but it is on the cheekier side. Because it's high-waisted, it accentuates me in all the right places. I would recommend this bathing suit; it's my favorite one I’ve ordered off of Amazon. Just bought one in another color." —peyton

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 15 colors).

    Promising review: "I love this swimsuit! It seems to be very good quality material; it’s very well-lined!! What’s even better is that it’s cheaper for this set than all of those swimsuit separates you have to buy these days! The open sides with the crossovers are a very cute, sassy touch! It looks, feels, and fits great!" —SaSh88
