Maternity Swimsuits 2026
During pregnancy, most expectant mothers continue to play sports or actively spend their time; one way or another, almost every pregnant woman starts to visit the pool or gets to the nearest beach. Whether it is a beach holiday or training in the pool, it is important to choose the perfect swimsuit for pregnant women, which will not only be comfortable for a growing belly and expectant mother but also provide the correct support for sensitive breasts and abdomen. You can stop your choice on separate variants: bikinis or tanks, or pick up a stylish closed model with additional fabric folds on the sides to provide space for a large belly.
Each model of a swimsuit for pregnant women has a special cut that takes into account the peculiarities of the “new” figure and allows the girl to enjoy her position. Special models of bra (split or single) have soft bones and a stronger base with a wide belt and shoulder straps, while the panties are completely sewn along special patterns with additional tucks for an enlarged tummy. Fusion models also have tucks for a growing abdomen or additional tissue and do not allow the material to exert discomfort on the sensitive skin of the future mother, providing the first-class comfort and convenience when swimming and walking. In addition, the size of the breast of the future mother is changing and requires new underwear and clothing, so the old swimsuit just does not fit, and there is a great reason to get a new one.
How to choose
The right choice is the key to the success of the future mother in her endeavors if she decided to enroll in the pool for special classes or go on an exciting beach holiday. Depending on how big the tummy is, it is worth starting from the choice of swimsuit model for pregnant women. If the belly is small, that is, an early period, it is quite possible to get along with the usual model of an open or one-piece swimsuit, which you will continue to wear after delivery. Just pay attention to the material of beach linen, let it be microfiber – pleasant to the body material, which dries quickly and is less irritating than the same polyester. Usually, swimsuits are sewn from polyester and it is quite difficult to find a model with the different composition; if you could not find a model with microfiber, do not despair, inspect and try on your favorite model – it should not have to stick out seams and other inconvenient parts.
With a large belly, give preference to a special one-piece or separate model of a swimsuit, which will be created on unique patterns with additional tucks for the abdomen and the special structure of the bra – with wide straps and a durable belt with the ability to adjust its width. By the way, the top of the bikini can have additional inserts to support the breast and give it a seductive shape. Bra can have a classic strap (those that are on a regular bra) or those that can be tied in various ways – behind or on the back, cross, and others. The main thing is that they should be compacted and wide – a guarantee of good support for the weighted chest and protection from its further sagging and the appearance of unwanted stretch marks.
When choosing a swimsuit it is necessary to give preference to the top-bra on the straps with tight cups in order to properly support the breast; exclude models with a thin fabric top and thin ties – they will not be able to provide proper support to the breast, and that will simply begin to stretch under its own weight. During pregnancy, it is very important to support the growing breasts even while sleeping, and during active swimming activities, this support should be enormous. At the same time, a swimsuit should not transfer the chest and render other uncomfortable actions, because the main thing is to keep a positive mood, and especially in summer.
It is important to talk about the size of the bra at the swimsuit for the future mother. It is known that during pregnancy the breast size increases, and how much – it is individual. Usually, women's breasts increase by 1-2 sizes by the end of the term, so the old swimsuit will not fit for sure. If you are thinking about choosing a swimsuit for pregnant women, start his search in the beginning or middle of the second trimester, when the breast has already gone to growth. Stop the attention on those models that I have additional liners – if by the end of the period the breast increases even more, then they can be taken out and “won” more places for the breast. By the way, some swimsuit models for a pool or a beach have laces or ribbons that regulate the volume of the abdomen, as well as additional pleated fabric, thanks to which the swimsuit can be pulled back at an earlier date and relaxed at a later date.
It is important to pay attention to the quality of the product – what materials are used, are there any annoying seams and piercing objects such as inconvenient fasteners or decorative elements? To make sure you make the right choice, do not be afraid to try on a swimsuit and feel yourself in it: how comfortable and comfortable is it to be in a new bathing suit? Doctors recommend choosing models of a closed format from a dense breathable fabric that would protect the stomach from the disastrous direct sun the best. An open model of a swimsuit for pregnant women is quite suitable for practicing in the pool, but here another question arises – will the future young mother be comfortable in it?
