Our 2014 DD+ Bikini Reviews

12 days in Thailand meant 12 days in bikinis! Just like every other DD+ girl, we find bikini shopping a nightmare. With the extra baggage of DD+ boobage comes one major question: Will this hold them in!? Next question: Will they look as blooming gorgeous as I know they can?

After scouring the web and many stores, in the hopes of finding one perfect bikini, we’ve made a shortlist to help you choose yours! All boobs are different, and everyone has different preferences, but we think we’ve got one for everyone like us, on a student budget, with lots of boobage…!

So....here are the reviews of our shortlist of bikinis which provided the basis of our Thailand wardrobes...

Fleurette's classic black number 

This one is a Topshop mix and match Plunge bikini. There are many different bottom to choose from; I chose the tie side as you can tailor the size to you.

If you’re DD+, run away from Topshop’s single size bikini set- it’s not your friend (unless you can afford 2 different sizes)!! Topshop’s clothing sized bikini tops are mostly an option for those with a small back (28-30) and a big bust as if you’re anywhere above an F cup, like me, you’ll likely need the 14 or 16.  You can wear it as tight or loose as you want to- the only downside is that the thin straps can really dig on the neck- so painful with sunburn! But I love the youthful shape, so no pain, no gain!

                      

Alice's 'Special K' red one 

This has been my trusty red bikini for the past 4 years (albeit it’s got a little smaller since it was first purchased). It’s by O Beach, purchased from ASOS. Although flattering and giving great shape, it is less supportive than the pour moi bikini below, so perhaps not the option for a game of beach volleyball!

Bottom option 1 (the matching tie side); 2 (the cheeky Asos perfect match brazilian micro bottom).

Fleurette's neon pink bikini 

Those of you paying attention will notice this is the same bikini as my first choice! I love it so much I bought the pink too- it looks amazing later in the holiday set off with a tan. Got my eye on the mint green and purple ones for next year- keep your eyes open for these, they can sell out fast!

Alice's purple halter 

     This was an absolute steal…£10 for a bikini that gives shape and uplift AND supports my GG's……say what??!! The bottoms are cuter than they look online too!

   

  

Fleurette's trusty blue one 

In terms of support, I swear by this bikini. It runs between sizes 32B- 38F and in a range of gorgeous colours. It gives the perfect amount of support, as you can tie it as tight or loose as you want it and the straps can be crossed at the front for a fresh look and extra support. Guilty of having multiple colours, this cannot be recommended enough! Play beach volleyball, swim, heck- go for a beach jog! You'll never have to worry about popping out.  The larger straps are super comfy and you're in for compliments all day with this one. This colour is currently on sale- go grab it!!

Alice's floral combo 

     Its no secret that DD+ swimwear aimed directly at young, boobilicious women is in short supply, so its no surprise that both of our bikini wardrobes are completely colour blocked – no patterns, no florals and no exciting prints. Although yellow can be a dodgy colour, this ASOS Marilyn bikini is sunflower shade, and has such a pretty print Alice couldn't resist purchasing. 

       There are also a variety of different style bottoms to suit everyone: brazilian, high waist, loop tie

We hope that makes your next bikini hunt a little easier! What's your favourite bikini brand?
