6 Bathing Suit Tops That Were Actually Made For Women With Big Boobs
Big boobs are both a blessing and a curse, especially when it comes to swimsuit season.
While other women share bikini body challenges and learn to make artisanal ice pops, large-chested women find themselves trapped in the lingerie department, trying to fit their ample spheres into tiny triangles.
Finding a bra that fits is tough enough, without factoring in the pressure of being pseudo-nude on the beach and worrying about a potential nip-slip.
It’s hard out there for a large-breasted lady. Avoiding the dreaded underboob, the double boob, and the stress-neck is practically an art form.
Luckily, summer doesn’t have to mean hiding under oversized t-shirts or eschewing the beach entirely.
Recent years have given rise to the availability of bra-sized swimsuit tops, a boon for ladies C-cup and above.
With that in mind, here are a few picks to keep your mind off your lady lumps. And if you have to jump up and down a little, there’ll be no surprises.
