Ashley Graham knows what moms need. A new mother herself, she designed this postpartum bathing suit so you can cut a beautiful silhouette and show off your new body.
The top of the bathing suit is easily manipulated for breastfeeding or pumping, and the ties and pleating at the hips give a little bit of space in the suit near the lower abdomen. It comes in four different colors.
This stunning, color-blocked, one-piece bathing suit from Summersalt is absolutely gorgeous, but its most amazing features are its diagonal seaming and one-of-a-kind fabric that gently compresses you as you wear it.

This sleek design from Miraclesuit (available in three colors) smooths out your silhouette in a natural way that will have you feeling closer to your pre-pregnancy self again.

The movement of the sash draws attention to the curve of your hips, while the lining tucks everything in. Paired with the right top, this could be a game-changer.
It's a little bit racy, and a little bit demure, but most importantly, the design of this bikini top is supportive and capable of holding your ladies up even if they're overflowing postpartum.
The fabric has plenty of elastic stretch, so it won't feel like it's compressing your breasts as you lounge on the beach or hit the pool. And the design is easy to untie if your child needs to eat.
This postpartum bathing suit from Anthropologie is a mom staple, and for good reason. The ruching at the waist and low dip of the top of this suit makes it oh-so-sexy while keeping you comfortable and self-assured.

Best Vintage Style
Betsey Johnson Rose Black Underwire One-Piece Swimsuit
Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you shouldn't want to rock your curves like Betty Boop.
Vintage-style swimsuits are not only trendy, but they are also very flattering in the areas that postpartum moms might want to feel more confident. The underwire in this corset-like Betsey Johnson suit gives support to your breasts, and the color cutouts give it an all-over sleek look.
Nike makes incredibly supportive swimsuits that fit a variety of needs. If you're breastfeeding, having a zip down the front of your suit can make your life much easier when you need to feed your baby or break out the pump.
Long-sleeved styles like this one are great for water sports as well as for fair-skinned moms who may burn quickly. And don't worry about the suit being too hot — the fabric is exceedingly breathable.
Athleta gets it right when it comes to customization for this suit. The standard sizes simply don't apply. It can't be ordered in size 2 or a size L.
Instead, the tankini is sized by your bra, from a 32B to a 40 DD. Available in two colors, this is quite possibly the best-fitting postpartum bathing suit on the market.
