FAQs – Bikinis & Tankinis for Plus Size Women

What’s the difference between a bikini and a tankini?

Both styles feature bikini bottoms, but the top makes all the difference. A plus size bikini shows off more skin, ideal for tanning. A plus size tankini is a longer top that offers more coverage and comfort – like a tank top designed for the beach.

Bikini, tankini or swimsuit – what’s best for a large bust?

It depends on your comfort level. Want to show skin? A curve bikini with support can be perfect. Want tummy coverage too? A plus size tankini top with underwiring helps shape and support. Prefer to stay more covered? Choose a full plus size swimsuit in a darker colour for a sleek effect.

However, strapless plus size bikinis or tankinis are less ideal for fuller busts. They rarely offer the hold you need and may slip. Instead, go for styles with underwire and wide straps. Try our trendy halterneck options that tie at the neck for both style and support.

Support matters – especially if you have a fuller bust. That’s why many of our plus size bikini and plus size tankini tops include underwires to gently lift the bust and ease pressure off your shoulders. The result? A naturally shaped silhouette and a beautifully defined neckline. For added variety, try our halterneck bikinis for curvy women. Instead of resting on the shoulders, the straps tie around the neck – a look that’s both secure and right on trend. Whether you prefer a classic shape or a modern twist, you’ll find supportive styles that look fresh, feel light, and flatter your curves effortlessly.

How do I wash plus size bikinis and tankinis?

Before washing your plus size bikini or tankini, always check the care label attached to the top for specific instructions. To keep the fabric in great condition, we recommend gentle hand washing with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid wrigging.

1. Mix water and detergent in a bowl
2. Soak and gently swish the top around
3. Rinse until water runs clear
4. Gently press out excess water
5. Lay flat to dry away from sunlight

This helps preserve the shape, colour and stretch of your favourite plus size bikini or tankini set.
