If you feel that hanging around by the pool is less an activity than a ~lifestyle,~ we have some picks for you.

I am a contributor and former editor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping since 2020, where I'm focused on everything from home decor to beauty to where to buy the world's most comfortable high heels.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Promising review: "This is the BEST swimsuit I've ever had. It's comfortable and looks good. The shorts don't wedge up my butt, I don't have to constantly adjust my top to keep from falling out, and I don't feel like I'm being squeezed by a juicer in my stomach area. Material is thick and consistent with what a swimsuit should feel like, and not cheaply made. I'm so so so pleased." —ARS

Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes S–6XL and 19 colors/prints).

Promising reviews: "Plus-size girlie: Buy it now! This swimsuit fits and feels great! Great support, in my opinion, for the chest. This swimsuit fits comfortably and is supportive! The color is very bright and vibrant, and the zipper stays in place wherever you pull it up (or down). The cups in the front are built in, so you might think they wouldn't give much support, but they keep your breasts together for big chests. Material is soft and stretchy. Looks like a rash guard but much cuter. The arm area may be a little tight if you have bigger shoulders (I do), but I can still move around comfortably. For all of you plus-size babes that might be thinking about this suit, get it!!" —Dustey

"The quality of this bathing suit is amazing. It is very soft and comfortable. The zipper stays put wherever you zip it up. It has built-in pads that cannot be removed, but it was comfortable for me. The pattern is very pretty." —Rose

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors/prints).

Promising review: "THE ONE. I want this in every single design!! Material is great quality, top stays on very well while in the water, and the bottoms cover everything perfectly and don’t give you that saggy-butt look! I absolutely love this bathing suit." —laila

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and 14 colors/prints).

Promising reviews: "Wow, wow, wow. What can I say? This is a great bathing suit. It holds you in, and the top holds everything together. I really think this suit would look great on anyone." —Greensd

"Really cute fit, gorgeous color. Love that I can adjust the coverage on my chest. Have worn it several times in salt and chlorine — I wash after wearing, and the color has stayed true. Great purchase!" —Kirsteen

Get it from Nordstrom for $96.75+ (available in sizes 4–16 and 10 colors). 

Promising review: "Obsessed isn't even the word. I am in love with this suit, it’s like the perfect blend of cute and sexy! It’s so comfortable and breathable and has a little stretch to it. I love that the one strap stayed secure and didn’t fall down (I even did 10 jumping jacks just to put it to the test lol). So if you’re worried about a slip-up, I don’t think you have anything to worry about! I love that the bottoms aren’t made cheeky, since I personally like a little coverage, but I was able to adjust them in the back to give it that effect, so if you like cheeky bottoms, this could work for you too! Buy it!" —amba

Get it from Amazon for $18.61+ (available in sizes S–XL and 22 colors/prints).

Promising review: "This is hands down one of the best swimsuits I’ve bought on Amazon. The material is thick, stretchy, and high quality feels way more expensive than it is. The fit is super cute, especially the crisscross front design that hugs in all the right places. It’s true to size, supportive, and holds up great in the water.

I wore it to a rooftop pool and got tons of compliments. It’s perfect for summer vacations, pool days, or even just relaxing outside. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a swimsuit that’s both stylish and comfortable.

Would absolutely buy again in another color!" —Level 10 Genn

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 4–18 and 33 colors/ prints).

Promising reviews: "Great quality, super cute on. Has great coverage. I've gotten many compliments on it and I love wearing it. So cute." –Colleen Fisher

"LOVED THIS!!! Family friendly and comfortable to walk around all day in. The straps are adjustable so that was a plus!" —shelbie comeaux

Get it from Amazon for $33.98+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors/prints).

Promising review: "Fits comfortably and looks amazing! I always have trouble finding a swimsuit that I like and that I’m comfortable in, and this one is a winner! The color is fabulous, too! This swimsuit gives me the confidence I need!" —Kris Farley

Get it from Amazon for $31.19+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 49 colors/ prints).

Promising review: "As a curvy woman, I have a very hard time finding a swimsuit that makes me feel confident. I’m so in love with this one! It fits my curves well and is so comfortable (no digging for wedgies or having a nip slip). I can’t recommend this suit enough!! I’m waiting for my size to restock so I can buy in more colors! Oh! The sizing is pretty good too!" —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 30 colors/ prints).

Promising review: "I bought this suit and absolutely love it! The top is so cute that I've worn it by itself and received tons of compliments. It fits great and provides a lot of support, which is nice. The material is thick as well, and I felt very comfortable in it. The bottoms are adorable and high-waisted and fit great. It runs true-to-size, and the colors are vibrant. Overall, love this suit!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 25 colors; all colors not available in all sizes).

Promising review: "This is my new favorite suit. I’m going to get more colors! I wore this in Punta Cana and I got so many compliments and people asking where it was from. It was comfortable, stayed in place. The white didn’t turn see through when wet. I got some stains on it and it washed up beautifully. I didn’t dry it. I let it air dry. I’m wearing an XL off the size chart and it’s completely true to size. Get this suit!" —Jessica Hall Deaign

Get it from Amazon for $23.09+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors).

Promising review: "BUY IT! This was definitely my favorite swimsuit I took to Mexico! I will be purchasing it in other colors. I love the side detail. It makes it sexy but not over the top." —Trina

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18–22 Plus and seven colors).

Promising reviews: "I bought this for kiteboarding. I needed something that would hold everything in place but I didn't want a boring sports swimsuit. This one is awesome, super sexy while still covering everything up and staying in place even when I smash against the water while learning how to jump. Great little piece!" —Eszie

"One of the best swimsuit I have ever purchased. It's true to size and the material is pretty thick. The style and overall fitting is perfect. I could use this to match jeans or skirt to go out during the day or night. I highly recommend this product." —Gen

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 16–26 Plus and 20 colors/ patterns).

Promising reviews: "I love this suit so much! The shorts are just perfect, it’s sporty, flirty, and fun! So good for swimming and days you don’t wanna be uncovered." —Anna

"The perfect swimsuit for a waterpark/pool day to chase around a toddler! Was looking for a swimsuit with more coverage and this is just the thing I was looking for." —Crystal Vaughan

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors).

Promising review: "Purchased this suit for vacation and it did not disappoint! Extremely comfortable, fit true to size, and the skirt was such a fun added detail. The suit held up through several washings and trips to the beach and pool, and still looks like the first time I wore it. The adjustable straps are a nice feature as well, providing more or less support when needed. I am highly considering buying this in more colors because I love it so much." —Shelby Anderegg

Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 25 colors/prints).

Promising review: "I was super skeptical about buying a swimsuit online, but this is the best suit I’ve ever owned! Everything fits perfectly, and I never had any issues with it only having one strap. I wore it at a waterpark with my kids and never had to adjust or anything." —Nicole Angelo

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 6–18 and 13 colors).

Promising reviews: "I’ve been shopping for bathing suits and couldn’t find any modest styles that sufficiently cover my lower torso. This suit makes me look good. Very comfortable, stylish, and practical. I love it!" —Franco68

"This is my favorite swimsuit! I have it in two patterns. The fabric is thicker than others, which means it is long-lasting and perfect for lap swimming. I love the soft cups and the full coverage of my rear end! I highly recommend this suit." —Suzy

Get it from Lands' End for $73.99+ (available in sizes 2–18 regular, petite and long torso, 16–26 plus and long torso plus, four cup sizes, and 12 patterns; all patterns not available in all sizes). 

Promising reviews: "I LOVE this swimsuit. It is super cute if you want to feel sexy but are looking for a little more coverage. I purchased a couple of these for a work trip so that I would feel comfortable in front of our leadership team. The adjustable ties in the back and on the shoulder straps made it easy to fit the XL to the rest of my body without feeling suffocated around the hip area. I have a lot of trouble with bathing suits because of my hips and often times I have to size up for this reason but it doesn't always work because the suit ends up being to big everywhere else and sagging in the butt area. This suit is perfect — if you are curvy like me, go for it and just size up! You won't be disappointed, and what's not to love about all the fun colors it comes in?" —Mallory Dunphy

"SO IMPRESSED with this suit!! I ran back to buy another color! High quality material, too!! Adjustable straps and the back cross ties to your fit." —Koda Dance

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 23 colors).

Promising review: "Loved this swimsuit, the fit was perfect and the length was very nice — not too short and not too long. The breast cups are the nicest ones I’ve had, good support and coverage so you don’t have to worry about any slippage. The fit was perfect for me, I used it as a maternity suit (5 months pregnant) because I didn’t want anything super tight fitting and uncomfortable. I wish I had ordered several because I ended up washing it every day to use throughout our entire trip." —Nikki

Get it from Amazon for $31.50+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 35 colors/ prints).

Promising reviews: "It is such a cute suit! I felt comfortable and cute while wearing it. It fits perfectly, and the high-waisted design offers coverage without sacrificing comfort. The swimsuit is well-made and definitely worth the price!" —Adria

"Material is thick, the padding in the top is not visible, and I love that the bottoms are reversible!" —AHH

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 styles).

Psst! Some reviewers say it runs small, so consider sizing up!

Promising review: "This bikini is one of those sets that just works without overcomplicating anything. The ribbed texture adds a little extra structure and makes it feel more elevated than a basic swimsuit, while still remaining soft and comfortable against the skin. Materials are typically a stretchy polyamide/elastane blend, so they move with you and don’t feel stiff or restrictive." —Marie Phillips

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 25 styles).

Promising review: "I have not worn a bathing suit without a bra under it in over 25 years. As a 40M bra size, no swimsuit is supportive enough. I picked four to order, and hoped at least one would work, figuring I'd send the others back. I kept all four. Large-chested people, this fits and supports well, no bra needed. Sexy too, while still covering you." —Nicholas Campbell

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes L–5X and 19 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I have this bathing suit in three colors. It is a great bathing suit for the money! I always get compliments on it, and people want to know where to buy one. The legs don't ride up. The bust is well-padded. Suits have held up well. The solid black one is my favorite, followed by the black polka dot one. Classic Hollywood vintage movie star look. So nice to have my rear end covered, and as a plus, you don't have to worry about shaving your bikini line. I'm back to order suit #4 in red." —K. Moore

"This swimsuit is so cute and fits well. Very easy to swim in. Well made." —K.A. Youngblood

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 18–22 plus and 11 colors/prints).

Promising reviews: "Surprised by how cute this was in person! Fabric and fit were great. I’m six months postpartum and typically need a longer torso, but this fit true to size with ample coverage on the bottom. Built-in cups worked well for me, but if you prefer without, take that into consideration!" —Brittany L.

"The sleeves are SO STINKING CUTE! I have had so many random strangers compliment my suit! The color is beautiful and just like the picture, and after I’ve worn it a bunch, it’s not faded at all — high-quality material! I think what I love best is how conservative the cut is— it covers the booty and doesn’t show any cleavage, so it’s definitely 'waterpark with the kids' mom approved! The material is fairly thick, so it holds up well!! I would buy this in every color! True to size, good stretch, shop no further!! Def recommend!" —Becca & Brandon

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 31 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "My fave suit! I have it in three different colors. Fits nicely and covers up without looking frumpy. Supports the girls up top, and the bottoms look great without looking like granny panties. Great price and highly recommend! Whether you are young or in your 50s like me, I am sure you will feel confident and sexy while still covering up some. Go ahead and buy it already!" —Carrie Williams

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 18–22 Plus and 22 colors/ patterns).

Promising review: "I LOVED IT. Felt really comfortable." —Vero C.

Get it from Old Navy for $12 (available in sizes XS–4X and seven colors).

Promising reviews: "This is now my favorite swimsuit. I'm not usually a fan of bathing suits, especially one pieces, but this fits great. I'm short with a big bottom and this covered me perfectly. Might buy more in this style." —SMB1898

"I got this in the wasabi colour. Fits great, thick material, holds everything in. I have DDs and side boob, so I was concerned about the top part. But it does hold it together, and I don’t ooze out the sides." —Gyalaret

Get it from Free People for $165 (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).
