23 Plus-Size Swimsuits to Shop Before Your Next Vacation (2024)

If you're a fan of CUUP's highly coveted bras, then you'll love the brand's swim options just as much. Designed to fit all body types, they offer ample support to ensure you're comfortable at all times.

"When I want to wear a bikini, I prefer one with a lot of support and decent coverage on the bottom," Lauren Chan tells us. "My favorite bikinis are by CUUP—and though I like all of the silhouettes, this is my favorite pairing. My must-have is the Balconette Top, because it is constructed with the full support of a balconette bra, and the Highwaist bottom, which is high-waist and a not-too-bare, not-too-covered mid-hip cut. (Runners up: the Scoop Top and Tap Bottom)," she says.

What customers are saying: "I have larger boobs on a smaller frame and was so pleasantly surprised by this. I accidentally ordered the wrong band size but it was adjustable so i didn’t have to return! So convenient. I got so many compliments and I feel the most confident in this! Buying more colors soon."
