Plus size swimwear for women

Common swimwear challenges for plus-size women

Plus-size swimwear typically includes sizes XL–3XL (14–24). At these sizes, women need specific design features for comfort, support, and style that most standard-size swimsuits don't have.

Plus-size women face some of these issues when picking the right swimwear:

Straps that dig painfully into shoulders
Bust spillage from inadequate cup sizes
Unsupportive cups that lead to sagging
Bottoms that ride up while swimming
Tops that slip down during movement
Thigh chafing from poor cuts and materials
The see-through fabric when wet
Underwires that poke and stab
Elastic that loses shape after a few washes

Swimwear problems can turn your beach days into serious frustrations. Fortunately, our cute plus-size swimwear collection is here to save the day.

Our swimwear fabric

SwimZip selects advanced performance fabrics that stand up to every sun-protective swimwear need. Our extensive selection of swimwear gives you the right protection through swimming, surfing, and sand play.

The quick-drying, lightweight fabric pulls water away from your skin instead of becoming waterlogged. This moisture-wicking action keeps you comfortable whether you're in the waves or lounging on the beach. The innovative materials resist damage from chlorine pools, salty ocean water, and intense sun exposure.

UPF 50+ protection stands at the center of our fabric technology. This powerful sun barrier blocks 98% of harmful sunlight to shield your skin from UVA and UVB rays. The built-in protection reduces your risk of sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer during long days outdoors.

Four-way stretch fabric moves with every twist, reach, and swim stroke. The material flexes and recovers without losing shape, eliminating the need to constantly tug and adjust your suit. This freedom of movement serves all activities, from volleyball to building sandcastles.

For chilly morning swims and cool beach days, our breathable fabric construction naturally retains heat. The materials trap a thin layer of water against your skin, creating added insulation in cold conditions. Strong seams and snag-resistant fibers prevent tears and wear, so your suit maintains its protective properties season after season.

Sizing and fit

We don't just offer plus-size bathing suits. In our selection, you can find sizes from infants to teens, fitting every stage of childhood. Check our size chart for detailed measurements of the bust, waist, and hips, with clear instructions to find your perfect swimsuit.
