20 Best Bathing Suit For Big Thighs (2022 Updated)

I love the tummy control ultra high waisted bikini bottoms and have purchased several over the years. The ultra high waist is great for controlling the “middle age bulge”. Control bottoms which are merely high waisted (rather than ultra high waisted) target the backside, hips and lower abdomen only.

(The ultra high waisted swim skirt is just a bit too old lady for me. ) It appears Lands End may be discontinuing this product. It’s now out of stock and not available for backorder. WHY would you discontinue this great product? I hope I’m wrong!.

I have two of these, purchased in different years. (I believe from 2017 or 18, and 2019). Was hoping to buy more this year, but it seems to be discontinued with only smaller sizes left. I’ve tried another Lands End style, which did not work at all (why keep when the old suit is far more flattering?) and another, expensive brand, which was okay but pricey and the black top didn’t match my black swim bottoms.

I don’t understand why Lands End would stop making a women’s suit with a 4. 9 star rating? We are typically very critical of swimsuits. Why discontinue one that was such a hit? My only complaint is that the lining under the strap ripped a bit in both suits after some use, probably due to unavoidable stretching when putting it on.

I’m going to have a seamstress repair it instead of buying new suits. The other styles aren’t nearly as flattering for me. If this becomes available again, I would buy in a few more colors!.

You’d think a “chlorine resistant” suit would be comfortable for swimming – in this case, you’d be wrong. The fold over opens up in the water and you feel like you’re wearing an inner tube – so much drag! The waistband itself is very roughly seamed – uncomfortable.

I’m giving this suit two stars instead of one because it was true to size and hit my waist at the right point – but that’s all it has going for it. Lands End used to make great swimsuit bottoms that were modestly cut *and* comfortable to swim in – not anymore.

So disappointing!.

My daughter has this suit in both red (which has a black liner, and looks darker in the water) and in purple. The purple she has had about 3 months longer than the red. Both are worn on average once a week for 2-3 hours (5 days of practice, but 5 suits to rotate).

The purple one is now a faded, splotchy gray color, while the red (albeit newer) is still a nice shade of red without any immediate signs of fading. Both suits are rinsed in cold water faithfully after use to help get the chlorine out.

Price wise, these are decent practice suits, or even drag suits. They fit true to size for her.

I think this suit is of great quality. I wanted to try a Sporti one as in the past I have bought the Ocean racerback from Dolfin. Pro: good quality, color is fun (not a true navy blue), good price. Con: if you are a pear shape, one has to keep to readjusting as it want to slide up (I love high cut swimsuit, as I love to swim laps, but this will actually slide up ones” rear).

At the beach, same thing occur. vs. Ocean offers much better coverage for curvy woman. My size: bought 32 (Ocean and Sporti), 5”2″ 120 lbs, Small bust, pear shape.

My size 34 Sporti is overall a great suit. It is supportive and covers my 34 C+/D bust, incorporates my 35″ hips nicely. I am 5’3″, short waisted, 105 lbs. and broad shouldered with an athletic build for my small frame.

Nice and snug, hasn’t stretched or faded in 20+ wears. I understand it is a competition suit, but it is pretty high on the sides of the legs and the back is pretty low, even for a teen or younger person with a perfect body.

I do enjoy it in spite of that, but it does look a little odd being so high over my tan lines on the legs. I would still give it 5 stars and thanks be to God I can wear and look decent at my age.

Even better in person than on the picture! I love how simple, yet fancy it looks. The square construction also gives you a bit of a push-up effect. Size info: I am very happy I sized up to an M, because even this one is fairly tight.

I usually have a size small in tops, and I think this one in S would have been way too tight. So size up, especially if you have a bigger cup size (which I don’t).

I usually wear triangle tie bikinis as they are the only tops that work for my small bust. This top is incredible! Just that slight cross over the bust area makes you look slightly bigger:) Great top! I am buying another one.

I am a 34B. Got a small. Perfect.

I wanted to love this so much. The orange is beautiful and brighter than in the pictures. But my opinion – the quality is not worth the price. It arrived really frayed already and has me questioning how long it’ll last.

Sale price – maybe worth it but for now returning.

I like the feel of these bottoms, but the one and only complaint is that there is a bit of bunchiness in the front. Thought maybe I had them on backwards, but that was not the case. Wondering if I should have gone down a size.

Based on reviews I ordered a size up; usually wear a size 14 so I ordered a size 16. I like the overall feel of them and they make me feel sexy. So I will keep them and maybe order a size down to see if that makes a difference.

I’m in my 50’s but don’t like feeling frumpy in my swimwear. I’ve been ordering from Swimsuits for All for many years but never found bottoms that flattered my bottom (or lack of butt). I usually opt for the mid rise briefs but I bought a bikini top & thought I’d try these.

I LOVE them! Yes, they are a little cheeky, yes they are higher cut but they are so flattering. My daughter said she’s never seen me look better in a bathing suit.

Liked the design but the suit didn’t fit the same as previous sz 10 suit I purchased. Leg openings were tight, shoulder straps were too tight. Not comfortable at all. I trusted it would fit the same as same style, different color I had purchased and worn.

So I took tags off before and threw packaging away before trying it on so could not return it. My advice, always try on even if same style as another suit same style. They all fit differently. Feel I wasted $100.

I am very tall and love the Longitude one piece suits. Unfortunately, there are not too many designs to pick from in my size 22 plus. I have all the patterns you offer, so I do not have too many choices.

I love the v neck suits and even scoop neck with criss cross which is so hard to find. Getting back to this suit, it fits very well and I am happy with it, but I wish it was a little bit longer in the torso, as I am 6 feet tall.

I find it slenderizing. Make more designs in your suits that are different from the past years.

Too small overall. Have brought 3 swimsuits from Blair before in different colors but same style but last 1 was a disaster. It is as if the size was deliberately changed so it fits small overall including the length.

Blair clothes imported from countries like Sri Lanka, Vietnam especially have the same problems. Noticed this with LL Bean clothes too.

I have had this suit before and it fit fine. I saw it on clearance so ordered two more. Now i know why they are marked down. The bottoms fit well but the bra in the top was very loose in both suits. Because they were so inexpensive i will wear them with a regular bra.

I’ve never had an issue with Blair over many years. Hopefully this was a fluke- hopefully.

I bought it to wear for water aerobics – not a good idea! Both the skirt and the top “fly up” when doing any sort of exercise in the pool – very annoying. Also, the panty under the skirt is not even elasticized and just sort of hangs loose.

Too bad, because it is a nice looking swim suit, just not made particularly well and definitely not for water aerobics!.

I love these bottoms. It’s the 2 nd pair I bought. The fit is great! Wide waistband never rolls down. The first one I bought in 2016 is still in great shape. Since I began teaching swimming lessons this year I am in a chlorinated pool 2 times a week so they have faded but 7 years of good use has been great.

Super High waist pant, 2022, was much too big in the bottom area, for me personally. Perhaps I needed a smaller size, as being petite. Other women find these to be perfect, yet we are all fabulously different.

Did like the higher waist, as being more versatile, for most. Nice quality, yet had to return.

Bought for ease of changing at the beach instead of struggling with a swimsuit- also not worn a bikini for many years but find the high waist gives a flattering look to the larger size lady like myself and can mix and match with other beachwear items.

I am a UK size 10 (EU size 38), but when I tried these on, only the UK size 16 (EU 44) fit comfortably! What’s going on Decathlon??!

Would buy again if they had any in stock.

I got the Amalfi Tan Through Cut Out Swimsuit in a size 8 which is the smallest size. I’m 5’2 and my measurements are 35-24-35. I like my swimsuit as it’s unique and flattering, however it is tighter in the bust than I would prefer.

If I went a size up it may be too loose in the bottom. Also, I still got tan lines on my butt/breast, but possibly it’s not as bad as it could have been with another swimsuit. The company says areas that are never exposed to the sun need to adjust and I didn’t notice tan lines on my stomach which would normally be exposed in a bikini.

Ii love this swimsuit! I just ordered another size up because it fits! It looks great but too many hotdogs and I won’t be able to fit it. If you’re like me, I can sometimes swing in size between 8 and a 12, so just to be sure I ordered another one and will return which other one doesn’t make me want to not eat.

Lol It’s really super cute and I’d recommend going up a size if you the slightest thought.

Love this Grecian inspired bathing suit. It fits to a “T” hugging in all of the right places. It fits true to size and has a nice lining where it is not see-through. I would highly recommend this bathing suit.

Very flattering! Great quality suit – fits true to size. Good bust support although I do prefer it with the extra strap. I am a size 16 (sometimes 14) and the size 16 fits perfectly. 38DD and love the support and shaping of this suit.

Love this very flattering … I have a long body and this fits nicely but I ordered is a 10 and was sent small … far too loose around my chest and my bra cup is DD … re ordered in an 8 and fits nicely on top.

Prefer the fit of the green to the black not sure why they differ but they do.

This swimming costume is gorgeous! I sized up to a 16 based on other reviews (I am typically a uk size 14), but I am so glad I did! It fits perfectly!

Really beautiful colour, lovely fit. Incredibly pleased. Have gone back to treat myself to another one!

First, if you’re at all curvy, consider one size up. I went by the size chart which had me a certain M, but I ended up needing to reorder one size up to large. Looks GREAT! The one thing I’m really surprised I’m not seeing in other reviews is the smell.

It know it sounds absurd, but mine smelled really terrible (not like just slightly odd fabric smell, but akin to garbage left in the hot sun). Several washes (even one with vinegar) haven’t been able to fully remove it, though it’s improving.

I was sure it must be a fluke because nothing like this has every happened before, but my second order arrived smelling just as bad. Maybe it’s the particular dye?? (Mine’s in the color “Genteal Soul.

“) I’m still washing and hoping.

Ill-fitting. I’m a 36D, usually a M-L in dresses here but 12-14 elsewhere (because sizes vary so widely here), and ordered an XL like I do in other ON bikini tops. The cups gaped open badly. Adjusting the length of the straps did not help and only made the band ride up and did not fix the gaping issue.

Going down to the L would not have worked because the band was already as tight as I’d want to go, anything tighter would have started to cut into my skin. Too bad, it is cute. Probably would have worked better for someone with larger breasts able to fill out the top of the cups more.

I love the top, it is so comfortable and cute, the red color is super bright, like a neon red, leaning towards hot pink. Unfortunately, the size small bottoms have the narrowest gusset of any swimwear I have ever tried on.

I almost wonder if it is a defect. It barely covers half of what it needs to cover. I don’t know if a medium would have a wider gusset, but it fits everywhere else so I don’t think sizing up would work for me.

I never write reviews but I feel I just had to concerning these swim bottoms. They are perfection! They are not grandmaw looking but perfect for ANY age that wants their bottom covered. They come just below the belly bottom and full coverage on bottom.

Imagine your most comfortable pair of panties, that is what they feel like. They are soft, great material, not thin and fit like a glove. There is no tugging at your bottoms all day to keep from riding up.

If you are on the fence, BUY these! Buy in every color, they are worth the money!.

I’m furious. This is described as being made of nylon, which looks better and lasts longer than other swimsuit materials. It isn’t – it’s a lie. It’s polymide and looks cheap. Promptly returning. This is one of several reasons I hardly ever shop at J.

Crew anymore – poor materials and untrustworthy descriptions. Also, my opinion is this is not midrise. I’m 5’0″ and 92 lbs and the XXS was too small. Maybe an XS would have worked but I’m not buying polymide.

Why bother trying another swim bottom anyway? Even if I buy something listed as nylon it likely won’t be.

Nice bottoms with mid-rise full coverage. I am between a small and medium, so they were a touch big on me, but did not slip or slide around. I wore with the active long-line top and felt it was sporty and active, but cute.

Love the light blue color and would consider buying in another color. I have some similar JCrew navy bottoms from years ago (maybe 5-6 years. the tag is shreds but the bottoms are still looking great) that I have worn often and they are still holding up nicely so hoping the same for these!.

I originally got these in small- per other bottoms I’ve bought- but had to return for extra small. I wish J Crew’s sizing was consistent! As usual, very well-made & like that they are full coverage. I actually got them in 3 colors to go with coordinating tops.

For reference, I’m 5’3, 115 lbs & 35-28-35; & wear a size 2 in the chino shorts. The blue mist & rose colors are beautiful Summer colors.

I tried on a different swimming suit top at the store so I would know what size to order, since they didn’t have the top I wanted there. I purchased some bottoms there and they fit fine. I ordered the top I wanted in the color to match the bottoms I purchased.

Unfortunately, because it was a different style, that top didn’t fit, was too large. Also, the material was different than the bottoms I purchased which made the color look a little different. I will take it back to the store.

I do like the bottoms. They are the bold pink ones with the little slit in front.

I am 5’5” 200# and I can never find a flattering tankini that fits comfortably. This one is it!!!! Best tankini top ever! It has a shelf bra with light padding sewn in so the pads won’t move around which is great! And adjustable straps which are super comfortable.

I’m glad I didn’t size up like most reviews were saying. I bought my usual large size and it fits perfect! It’s not fitting, and loose around the midsection so it doesn’t cling to my stomach which I love! Definitely going to buy more!.

I am plus sized. I purchased the red combo in a 1X. I had originally purchased in 2X and it was too big. I didn’t like the bottoms AT ALL! Suit bottoms are always too big in the legs and I don’t like my butt cheeks hanging out.

I went on AMAZON and ordered a blue pair of swim boy shorts and it makes a really cute suit! I like that the top doesn’t cling. It does a great job of hiding my spare tire! I would totally recommend this suit!!.

The tanksuit is ALMOST perfect. Color, shaping, chest fit/support – all wonderful. BUT (and I really wanted to spell that differently!) the design of the leg openings is very poor. The openings are cut just a tad too high in both front and back – and not like an intentional high-cut design – more like a shortcut in quality.

The openings do not “stay” with the leg – they are somewhat floppy and do not provide enough coverage. I ordered a Regular and then tried a Long. Although the Long did provide a little more fabric, the design of the leg openings was still the same, was “floppy” and did not cover enough.

I usually wear swim shorts over my suit – so for the few times I may be in the water without my shorts, I may keep the suit because I love the rest of it. but very disappointed in the poor quality of the leg design.

This has a very slenderizing effect with absolutely no tugging, pulling or compression. It is realistically sized for how real women are shaped, and the fabric drape is very flattering and slenderizing.

This top was long and covers everything nicely, the drape gives the illusion of a slender waist. The top will accommodate a larger bra size woman but also accommodates smaller cup size, a truly versatile design with a non binding interior shelf that provides a boost without feeling uncomfortable.

Swimsuits can be nightmares but this one is problem-free, just measure your top circumference and you will get a good looking fit. There is a matching bottom that is equally flattering. This swimsuit is most definitely worth the price, even if you pay full price, I’m pretty confident it will fit you if your weight fluctuates up or down a size, or during pregnancy.

The fabrics are very attractive too. For once I feel confident wearing a bathing suit in public. It’s attractive and modest while still looking very fashionable and fresh.

I love this suit but I should have ordered in one size smaller. I don’t have anything to compare it to so I don’t know how true to size it runs. I’m really big chested but not that big elsewhere. I did notice that the elastic around the leg openings is quite large.

I need to figure out a way to take it in (and I don’t know how yet) because I can’t get a smaller size-they’re all sold out. The suit feels like it would be perfect if it were one size smaller. Again, my sizing error, not LLBean’s.

If you order your true size, it should fit perfectly. I’m disappointed I couldn’t get one size smaller.

Most bathing suits, especially bikinis, I buy get returned bc I hate them all. I wound up keeping this! I went up a size bc I think billabong is technically a junior brand. The print is fun and unusual.

The only thing that bugs me is the drawstrings is a thick black shoelace type on the the inside. Perhaps typical for a surfing brand?.

Sleeves- perfect length. I have longer arms so I hate when sleeves aren’t long enough. These are great! Sit right on the base of hand. Also, the material is soft and light. Very nice!

Good bum coverage. There is a drawstring on the inside to make waist a bit tighter or looser. Stays in place well enough. Runs a bit small.

I LOVE the Simone Bottoms in Midnight Dash! The ruching is flattering and forgiving, and the fit is comfortable – no pinching or riding up. I was in the market for a bathing suit that would hide a scar, but the truth is these bottoms are so stylish and subtly sexy I would have purchased them even without the scar in mind.

Also, the fabric is substantial and soft and appears it will hold up well.

I’ve had 4 kids in the last 3 years. One single and then triplets and post partum has been interesting. I’m more than a year post partum but we love being outside and I didn’t want to be a mom that doesn’t swim with the kids.

These bottoms are everything and more. I got the hang ten crop top to go with them and it’s perfect. I honestly just wish there were more options of color with this style bottom. It’s made me feel like myself again!.

I’m 5’3 and 104lbs. I’m 54 years old snd it’s very difficult to find an age appropriate swimsuit. This suit is extremely comfortable, true to size. After having bilateral mastectomies it’s been difficult finding a comfortable flattering top; however this top is super comfortable and extremely flattering.
