Women's plus-size modest swimwear with UV protection

Why do plus-size women struggle to find a swimsuit?

Plus-size swimwear spans sizes XL–3XL (14–24). Most standard swimsuits lack the right design features for proper fit, support, and comfort at these sizes.

Here are the common swimwear problems plus-size women face:

Shoulder straps cut into the skin.
Inadequate cup sizes cause overflow.
Unsupportive bust construction leads to discomfort.
Bottoms shift position during swimming.
Tops slip down during activities.
Poor fabric quality causes irritation between the thighs.
Thin materials become transparent when wet or stretched.
Uncomfortable underwire placement.
Quick loss of elasticity after washing.

Our plus-size swimwear collection offers solutions to these common issues with supportive construction, quality fabrics, and thoughtful design details.

Why do some women prefer modest swimwear?

Women choose modest swimwear for different reasons, from personal preferences to practical needs:

Personal values and faith guide some to choose swimwear that offers increased coverage.
Full-coverage suits boost confidence in social settings.
Fair skin tones benefit from extra UV protection against sunburn.
Active swimmers need suits that stay secure during water sports.
Medical needs require extra coverage during recovery periods.
Recent mothers prefer suits with adjustable coverage during postpartum changes.
Fashion preferences favor classic retro styles with sophisticated coverage.
Outdoor professionals select modest suits for long days near water.
Sun-sensitive skin conditions require additional fabric protection.
Water park visitors want secure coverage for rides and activities.

No matter your reason, shop our modest everyday swimwear that understands your body and supports your lifestyle.
