Figure Flattering Amazon Swimsuits

This post contains affiliate links. Read the full disclosure here.

Swimsuit shopping is the worst! That’s probably why this is the most frequently requested blog post from my Facebook group. It’s also why it’s taken me so long to write it lol. Swimwear is definitely outside of my comfort zone. I’m a mom who generally wears a size large/ 12 so I’m not exactly what most people think of when they think of a “beach body.” But I’ve learned that THIS is the body God gave me and I’m not going to miss out on opportunities to have fun with my kids because I’m insecure about how I look.

Best Amazon Swimsuits for Moms

Enter these swimsuits from Amazon. Yes- you CAN find figure flattering swimsuits on Amazon! Pre-kids I only wore 2 piece bathing suits. I’ve learned to embrace the “mono-kini” look post babies though and there are some really flattering one piece  swimsuits on Amazon! Buying a bathing suit doesn’t have to be torture and it doesn’t have to break the bank. Each of these suits are figure flattering and so easy to wear. Trust me- if I can rock them so can you!

Sizing Notes

I’m 5’4” and normally a size large in tops, 34D in bras, and a 12 in pants.

What’s New In 2023

For the updates I’ve added some additional 2023 swimsuits. There’s also 3 new swim cover ups I found this year and love.

One Piece Swimsuits

Tempt Me Mesh Swimsuit

This is often called “The Amazon Suit.” It really does live up to the hype. I actually own 2 versions of it from different vendors and love them equally. It holds everything in nicely and creates a great silhouette. This was the first bathing suit I actually felt good about myself in after my second child was born. It’s also a great one if you have active little kids and want to be in the pool with them because I don’t have trouble with wardrobe malfunctions if they are hanging all over me and pulling on me. I find it to fit TTS (wearing a large).

Hilor One Shoulder Swimsuit

This pretty pink suit was a pleasant surprise! I wasn’t sure about the one shoulder but I love it. The ruching is flattering and everything stays put pretty well. The color is a lot brighter (in a good way!) than it looked in the stock photo. You can tell I had some trouble capturing it. It’s really so striking! I size up 1 to a 14 in this one.

Hilor Double Ruffle One Shoulder Swimsuit

I love the regular one shoulder swimsuit so much I HAD to try this double ruffle one with a larger ruffle. I LOVE it! It’s lined enough that the white isn’t see through and the padding is sewn in. I sized up one to a 14.

Firpearl Macrame Back Swimsuit

This macrame back one piece swimsuit is SO flattering. I brought it with me to Hawaii and got so many compliments on it. I found it to fit TTS (wearing a 12). It also has SEWN IN PADDING which is a HUGE win for me- I hate losing the darn things in the laundry.

  • Swimsuit: https://amzn.to/3tlIzze
  • Tan line Score: 4/5 the macrame back can give some funny lines if you don’t apply sunscreen.

Back:

Hilor Criss Cross Bathing Suit

The thing I love about this suit is it gives you the look of a two piece while still providing the coverage of a one piece. I was worried it wouldn’t be flattering around my midsection but I actually found it to be super slimming. It comes in so many colors but I just love this aqua. One thing to note is that the straps do have a tendency to roll a bit (see pic). I sized up 1 to a 14. This one also has sewn in pads.

  • Swimsuit: https://amzn.to/2QnmrTE
  • Sunnies: https://amzn.to/3a9BffK
  • Tan line score: 3/5 You WILL tan through the stripes both at the top and midsection. If you have an event where you need to wear a strapless dress I would keep this one out of rotation that week.

Firpearl One Piece

I just love the metal stud detailing on the straps of this suit! It’s such a nice touch. The tummy control is also a nice feature. This one is also very nursing friendly- that’s actually why I originally ordered it. The trade off though is as the baby grows it’s also easy for them to pull it down so be mindful of wardrobe malfunction if you have a stage 5 pool clinger lol. I sized up 1 to a 14 but I’m not sure I needed to.

Sociala Sexy Crochet One Piece

If you want a little va-va-voom but still the coverage of a one piece this is the suit for you! It looks SO flattering even on curvy girls. I’m wearing it TTS in a large.

  • My swimsuit: https://amzn.to/3okL8kF 
  • Tan Line Score: 2/5- you’ll need to apply sunscreen before putting this one on lol. All that crochet detail makes for a wacky tan.

Ruffle Detail Bathing Suit

The ruffles on this swimsuit give it visual interest without being too precious for an adult. I would call the backside coverage moderate- not quite full coverage.

Ocean Blues Bandeau Style Swimsuit With Removable Straps

This is a great one because the tummy control is great and the removable straps help with tan lines. It also has molded cups so they are sewn in. I’m wearing it TTS in a large. My pattern is often sold out but there are plenty of other great colors.

  • My Swimsuit: https://amzn.to/3AcguwE
  • Tan Line score: 5/5 – the removable straps make this an ideal option for evening out your tan.

Hilor V-Neck Keyhole Swimsuit

Here’s another sexy swimsuit option! I’m wearing it TTS in a 12-14. I’m a 34D bra size and it’s definitely revealing. I do think it might be a bit more modest on someone with a smaller chest though.

Hilor Mesh Surplice Swimsuit

I thought this one would be more revealing than it is but the mesh panels really don’t expose too much. I really like it.

Tempt Me Criss Cross Front One Piece

This one is fun because you can also wear it without crossing the straps in the front. Fits TTS in a large.

 

Tempt Me Plunge One Piece

This one is super cute and I like that it’s sexy while still giving tummy and bum coverage. Fits TTS in a large.

A-Love Twist Cross One Piece

This is a great swimsuit for women who have mom-tummy insecurities. It not only helps to hold it in but I feel the criss cross top draws the eyes up. It’s a great postpartum suit. Wearing it TTS in a large. I actually have this one in 3 colors.

Bikini 2 Piece Swimsuits

Two Piece Gold Strap Bikini

I really like the higher waist bottoms on this one. I do find the tie around straps to be super cute but a little annoying if you are playing with your kids. This one is better for a solo trip sans kids in my opinion.

  • My Swimsuit: https://amzn.to/3KNAU3J
  • Tan Line score: 3/5 because of the wrap around straps. But you could untie them to lay out if you wanted.

Two Piece Flounce Green Palm Bikini

I like that the high waisted bottoms on this one *almost* completely cover my stretch marks. I also like that both neck and back strings are tied to I can make it as tight as I need to to get a good fit. The bottoms are also not super cheeky. I’m wearing it TTS in a large and it does have removable cups.

  • Swimsuit: https://amzn.to/3JLb3r1
  • Tan line score: 4/5 it’s pretty darn good! You do end up with neck strap lines though.

Tempt Me Two Piece Flounce Bikini

This was the only bikini I included but it really is flattering! The highwaisted bottoms hold everything in and cover up c-section scars, stretch marks etc. The flounce style top is also great for people who might be a little insecure about their arms because it provides a bit of extra coverage. For me this is more of a laying out suit than a rough housing with the kids in the pool suit because the top isn’t super supportive. It fits TTS- if I sized up the top would have been huge.

Amazon Swim Cover Ups

Pom Pom Swim Cover Ups

These pom-pom swim cover ups are my FAVORITE! I have worn them to the beach, the pool, on vacay- you name it! They machine wash well and are lightweight so very easy to pack. I have 2 from different vendors and find them to be identical.

Ekouaer  Swimsuit  Cover Up Shirt

This one is a bit different than most of my other cover ups- in a good way! It’s more of a shirt than a kaftan style which I think is really nice for the beach when you want a bit more sun protection. It comes in a bunch of colors if black is too hot for you in the sun. I’m wearing it TTS in a large.

Long Kimono Coverup

I really like the pattern and fabric on this swim coverup! The longer length is also nice. My only criticism is that it doesn’t have belt loops for the sash. It’s one -size.

Crochet Swim Coverup

This crochet dress style coverup is super cute and surprisingly soft! I like that you can adjust the waist. It fit s TTS for me.

Shermie Rainbow Crochet Swim Coverup

I’m going to be completely honest- I totally bought this one because of the colors lol. I just love them! I like crochet swim cover ups when it’s super hot out and I need airflow. These are often the first ones I reach for come July. This is one size.

Hount Swim Coverup Dress

The fabric on this dress is SO incredibly soft. It’s so comfortable to wear! I will say if you are super tall this will run a bit short on you. I’m 5’4” and wearing a large for reference. There is a bead detail in the back that I also really like.

Full Length Kaftan Swim Cover Up

I LOVE all the colors in this coverup and that it provides more coverage. If bright colors aren’t your thing there are also solid options. It’s one size and adjustable at the waist.

Kimono Style Swim Coverup

If you prefer open swim coverups this kimono style one is a winner! The material is super soft and it comes in a bunch of patterns. Bonus: it also looks cute with shorts and a tee.

A word on the hat…

I did want to take a sec to highlight this super cute visor. I love that it rolls up for packing and that I can wear it with a ponytail or mom bun (unlike my sun hats). And I just LOVE the little bow in the back- so cute! This is a must have if you need something easy to pack a bring along. Get it here: https://amzn.to/3rcdBaa

Don’t Forget A Pool Towel!

I found these chaise lounge covers on Amazon and just love them! They have little pockets to store things like your phone, water bottle, and sunscreen and they tie to the chair so they don’t fall off. I love the pocket on the top that keeps it from sliding down when you sit on it and it folds into it’s own little carrying bag.

    This was so helpful! What size did you order in each of them? You mentioned Large at the beginning of the post, but I wasn’t sure if that is what you actually ordered in each? I am similar in size to you so I wanted to make sure I ordered the same! TIA
