Maternity swimsuit - any recommendations?

[sanity girl]

I am soon going to have to cave in and get a maternity swimsuit and just wondered if any of you had recommendations for any good ones. I always find it difficult to find cossies that fit (tall, long body) - anyone else in the same position who found a good one?

Next Directory has a few I think, I think there are those two-piece ones but with a tank top rather than a bikini!

Hi - Blooming Marvellous have got some nice ones. I bought one there last time I was pregnant - just a basic chocolate brown halterneck one for about 20 quid. I'm quite tall too with a long body and it fitted quite well and wasn't too high cut and you could adjust it ok round the boobs because of the halter neck. It's lasted ok and I'm wearing it again second time around although it's a bit stretched.

I never had a maternity swim suit, I just wore a bikini and let the bump hang out - only time in my life where I wasn't desperately sucking my stomach in, and only time I ever wore bikinis ! I think if you can get away with a regular swim suit it would be better because you'd wear it again when not pregnant.

Mamas and Papas do a good one which lasted me thru-out my pregnancy

I agree with candj- let it hang out! Bumps are so much nicer than what's there afterwards!

Thanks for all your suggestions. I would let it all hang out if on holiday at the beach, but this is for swimming lengths, so I don't think a bikini would be so suitable! I'll check out next, blooming marvellous and mamas & papas
