EQ Swimwear Maternity Tankini Top

I purchased this at 6.5 months pregnant when I could no longer fit into my normal suit. It was the closest thing I could find to a normal swimming suit for lap swimming rather than a beach/lounge style tankini. It offers great coverage and stays in place below the belly with an adjustable drawstring. Perfect for lap swimming!

Looked all over typical maternity clothing stores for a swim suit that I could swim laps in, and all were wayyy overly priced or more for just lounging around, not swimming laps. This fit both my needs. Simple, matches with black bottoms I already have (I'd say its more black than navy blue), and cheap (not $100 like other stores). I'm 5'8", 125 lbs pre pregnancy, currently 142 lbs and 6 months pregnant and the small fits nicely now, but I may return for a medium so I have room to grow into it. No breast pads unfortunately, but not a huge deal since I'm just using it to work out in.

I bought this swimsuit when I was about 4 months pregnant and my regular Speedo was not comfortable anymore. It's been a great purchase. I will say that the sizing is a bit odd: I found that the top runs a tiny bit on the large side, while the bottoms run really small. Pre-pregnancy, I was a 32 F, about 155 lbs, with 41" hips (normally size 8 or 10, depending on fit). However, after my first trimester, my bust size increased to 34 I and I was having HUGE problems finding a maternity bathing suit. The medium tankini top fits fine: the inside shelf bra is a bit loose but the top is comfortable, and now that I'm 37 weeks along (and ~180 lbs) it still fits over the bump. I ordered a large for the bottoms and I'm glad I did, because there is no way a medium would have fit. The teal/citron is nice on lots of skin types--my pregnant friend saw my bathing suit and immediately ordered the same one in a smaller size. Finally, the best part is that it's really flattering. I would wear this after my pregnancy if it came in a normal size. The tankini is easy to put on and you can use the top in a birth tub when you go into labor so I see major advantages over a one-piece.

The tankini top is great for me. I'm a size medium (6-8) pre-pregnancy, 5'11" with a B cup pregnant and this fits perfectly. I'm 27 weeks now and it fits well and there is room to grow/stretch. As a tall woman, I appreciate the tankini top as it's very difficult to find a one piece maternity suit that fits my not-large chest. I wear it with my favorite bottoms and I had no problems swimming laps in my swim class. I agree with some others that the material is a little on the thin/cheap side, but it should work fine for the time that I need it.
