Read on if you wanna find out which suit a reviewer said (in all caps) is the best bathing suit they have ever owned in their life. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. Promising review: "Love this suit. It's very cute and is a great option instead of a two-piece. I'm 5'10" and a size 12. I went with the tall XL since I always size up in a bathing suit. It was perfect." —Laura C. Get it from Athleta for $99 (available in sizes XXS–XL, tall and petite versions, and two colors). Promising review: "Absolutely the BEST swimsuit! High-quality fabric that has held up well. Excellent coverage, but still very cute. I have trouble with swimsuits not supporting/covering my top enough, but this one is PERFECT. Holds everything up very, very well. Excellent value for the money. Full butt coverage. It is so, so, so cute." —CK Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 26 colors/patterns). Promising review: "I absolutely love this swimsuit! The quality is great, and the ruched tummy design is super cute. I wore it all summer, and it held up really well, no fading or stretching, and it still looks brand new. I get compliments every time I wear it, which is always a confidence boost. It’s comfortable, supportive, and fits just right. I’ll definitely be wearing it again next summer. Highly recommend!" —Mike Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 27 colors/prints). Get it from Lane Bryant for $75.50 (originally $112.95; available in band sizes 38–46 and C–DDD). Promising review: "I needed a more modest swimsuit to wear around conservative family and to the local family pool. This was the perfect swimsuit! The cut is stylish, but the coverage is solid — perfect for a more casual, comfortable, and relaxed vibe." —Rachel Get it from Anthropologie for $165 (available in sizes XS–XL, some colors are available in plus sizes 1X–3X, and seven colors). Promising review: "I ordered a size 40G. Its fit was excellent. I have full coverage of my bust. I ordered black. I’m full-busted and have trouble finding bathing suits with large cup sizes and underwire. This has everything and is very stylish. It is about the third bathing suit I have ordered from Bare Necessities. My go-to place for size, fit, and style." —JoAnn K. Get it from Bare Necessities for $126 (available in band sizes 32–42, cup sizes D–GG, and three colors). Promising review: "Let me tell you! I never leave reviews unless I'm WOWED! THIS IS THE BEST BATHING SUIT I HAVE EVER OWNED IN MY LIFE! And it's very comfortable! And sexy! GRABBBB ONE!" —Isabella Get it from Amazon for $37.79+ (available in sizes S–4XL and 35 colors/prints). Promising review: "Love the way this fits and exactly what I was looking for as a classic basic." —Tinatinks Get it from J. Crew for $89.50+ (originally $138+; available in sizes 0–24, long torso versions, and eight colors). Get it from Free People for $168 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors). Get it from Lands' End for $144.95 (available in sizes 2–18, plus sizes 16W–26W, and two colors). Promising review: "Absolutely love this swimsuit! It may be one of my favorite ones I’ve ever owned, and I want it in so many more colors now. I ordered the pink, and it is gorgeous. The fit is great for moms who are chasing kids. It’s not too cheeky and has wonderful coverage. Such a perfect suit and a great value!" —Kathleen Merritt Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL Plus and 27 colors/patterns). Promising review: "The texture makes it feel so much cuter. I love that it is adjustable. I typically shy away from one-piece suits as I fear my behind will hang out, or my chest will feel pulled, but this one doesn't do that. I can't wait to see what it feels like when actually swimming!" —Sabrina R Get it from Old Navy for $27.49 (originally $54.99; available in sizes XS–4X and six colors/patterns). Promising review: "I don’t normally write reviews, but I love this suit that much! I’m two months postpartum, and this is the best breastfeeding- and budget-friendly suit I’ve found that I can also feel comfortable chasing my 3.5-year-old in. I now have it in two patterns! I was shocked at the quality for the price. Buy this suit!" —Allan C. Mathew Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 10 colors/patterns). Promising review: "Gorgeous. The quality and the fit are amazing!! —Natalya Get it from Victoria's Secret for $89.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors). Promising review: "I have a similar body shape to the model, so I thought this would work great on me. It does! It might be a little short in the torso, but the straps are adjustable, so there is some leeway. Butt coverage is great, and the shoulders fall nicely. Material is fine, nothing fancy. The cups are sewn in, so that's nice, too. Not sure how it would fit a bigger breasted girly, mine are pretty average, but it felt good!" —Paige W D Get it from Torrid for $104.90 (available in sizes L–6X). Promising review: "Absolutely love this swimsuit! The quality is excellent — the fabric feels thick, durable, and well-made, not cheap or flimsy at all. The suit provides great support without feeling uncomfortable. It fits true to size and holds everything in place nicely, giving a smooth, confident look. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a stylish, high-quality one-piece swimsuit." —dawnz Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes XXS–28 Plus and 36 colors). Get it from Skims for $90 (available in sizes XXS–4X and two colors). Promising review: "Love this suit! The pattern is super cute without being overly revealing. The straps are adjustable, which is a nice touch. I’m 5’9 and have a longer torso, and this one fits perfectly. It doesn’t dig in at all. I have had this suit for over a month, and it has held up great. Highly recommend this swimsuit." —Irie Get it from Target for $45 (available in sizes XS–24). Promising review: "The very different, unique design caught my attention! Even though only one shoulder is supporting, it feels like both are! I am fairly large in the chest and I usually can not wear designs like this, but this is so comfy! The white is clean-looking and elegant, too, I think! The one piece is nice for a more modest, but still sexy (I think) look." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes XXS–22 Plus and 38 colors/styles). Promising review: "In LOVE with this suit. Love that I can wear a dress over it, and the built-in shorts help my thighs from chafing. Usually, I have to wear shorts under my dresses, and this keeps me from needing to. It has pockets!! A button by the cleavage to cover more up, or if you have bigger boobs, so you can let them breathe a bit. Love the color. Love the fit. Love the bikini under the shorts. Zero complaints. Would recommend to anyone! I bought another suit with this order, and it will probably be just as awesome. Bloomchic kept coming up on my Facebook ads, and I'm so thankful I caved and checked out their website. Such good quality. Quick delivery. Amazing comfort. Feeling confident this summer! BUY IT! You won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Treat yo self!" —Briana Get it from Bloomchic for $42.90 (available in sizes M–6X and seven colors). Promising review: "Love the bright colors and the way it fits! Great for the pool or sitting out in the Florida sun. The material is good quality and dries quickly. Very happy I bought this (plus another one in a different print)." —CycloneMom Get it from L.L. Bean for $59.95 (available in sizes 4–18, plus sizes 18W–26W, long versions, and six patterns). Get it from Andie Swim for $102+ (available in sizes XS–3X). Promising review: "I love this swimsuit. The V-neck and ruffle sleeves are very attractive. The fit was true to size and covered the backside. I was surprised by the supportiveness of the cups on the inside of the suit. I feel that if I sized down, it would feel even more supportive. I chose this suit because of the coverage on the arms and chest from the sun. I ordered the royal blue, and the color looks just like the picture. I really haven’t seen any other swimsuits quite like this and feel like it has a unique, expensive look." —NJMom Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 colors). Promising review: "Got so many compliments in these. They are so beautiful, fit you perfectly, and are functional! I am a swimmer, and these can hold my C-cups in place pretty well during laps." —Maryami87 Get it from Nordstrom for $120+ (available in sizes 4–16 and 11 colors). Promising review: "My wife bought this to use at the Y. She loves it so much that she is buying several more. The suit fits beautifully, great material that resists chlorine damage, nice colors, and an excellent price. True to size, comfortable lining, and pretty design. This one is a winner." —Evereddie70 Get it from Amazon for $28.79+ (available in sizes XS–22 Plus and 18 colors). Get it from Abercrombie for $80+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and eight colors/styles). Promising review: "What an impressive swimsuit! Good coverage, but enough fun detail to not feel boring. The colors are nice. Has not faded. This did not ride up, and I have a long torso, making one-piece suits difficult to find. The top could be adjusted to feel secure and offer enough support. Recommend and would buy again." —KW Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors). Get it from Nike for $95 (available in sizes XS–2XL and three colors). Promising review: "This is my third suit in this style. I have gotten so many compliments on the others that I had to get this one. I love the colors and patterns. This suit is so well structured that it stays up without the straps for great tanning, but it isn't too hard to take on and off. Great quality!" —SJF Get it from Boden for $120 (originally $160; available in sizes 32A–38DD and three patterns). Promising review: "I cannot express how beautiful this suit is, and how confident I feel in it! The boobs look great, and there is enough coverage for my behind. I got this pretty fast and couldn't wait to try it on! I ordered another suit with a similar style from Cupshe because this brand is fantastic! Very well-made suit, and I have a feeling this suit will last for years!" —Jess Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 28 colors/patterns). Promising review: "Super comfortable and I was never afraid of the straps falling off my shoulders. Even with the sun beating down on the lake, I didn't feel overheated, and I was out all day kayaking." —kayakaday Get it from Adidas for $52 (originally $65; available in sizes 0–18). * Ultra-Handy Things That You’ll Want To Pack For Every Trip From Here On Out * Travel Products That’ll Have Your Trip Companions Saying, “Woah, They’re A Pro” * Maturing Is Realizing You Really Only Need A Carry-On, And These 28 Travel Products Prove It * Toys And Travel Activities That’ll Help Mute The Incessant “Are We There Yet?” * Flight Attendants Swear By These 27 Travel Products (So You Know They're Worth The Money) * Versatile Travel Pieces That Are Perfect For When You’ve Committed To Packing Light * Travel Essentials That'll Make Your Economy Seat Feel Like First Class * Must-Have Items For Your Next Universal Studios Trip * Pairs Of Shoes That’ll Help You Say Goodbye To Super Achy Feet At The End Of A Day Of Sightseeing Plus, compression socks, pet carriers, things to pack if you're headed to Hawaii, and finds from Amazon.
