One of the hardest parts of finding a maternity suit for the beach or pool for me was finding one that would support me through each trimester with my growing bump. I loved clothing that offered extra support but didn’t feel too thick or heavy, especially during the hot summer months. I also loved those stretchy fabrics because I felt like I could still move and enjoy myself without being too constricted. So, those are some of the aspects we looked for when making this list of the best maternity swimwear.

Keep in mind that not every piece of swimsuit on this list is exclusively “maternity”, but that doesn’t make them any less comfortable!

What Bathing Suit to Wear When Pregnant & What to Look For

When it comes to picking out the perfect swimsuit during pregnancy (or any kind of maternity clothing for that matter), comfort is key. Your body is going through so many changes, and the last thing you want is to feel restricted or uncomfortable while enjoying some much-needed relaxation under the warm sun. 

So, look for swimsuits with adjustable straps, ruched detailing, and stretchy fabrics that accommodate your growing bump. 

• Adjustable straps: will allow you to customize the fit to your changing body, such as adding more support as your bust grows. 

• Ruched detailing: can help to flatter your silhouette and provide extra room for your belly to grow throughout your pregnancy journey.

• Stretchy fabrics: think of fabrics like spandex or elastane, these offer flexibility and support, ensuring that you can move freely and comfortably whether you’re swimming, sunbathing, or playing with your little ones in the sand.

In addition to your growing belly, that’s not the only change your body may experience. You may also experience your breasts growing, stretch marks forming, and sometimes a bit of discharge or leaking as you progress through pregnancy. It’s important to consider these changes when shopping for a swimsuit. For instance, if you’re in your third trimester and you’re experiencing some leakage, you may want to find a bikini bottom with leakproof protection to give you a little piece of mind when you’re out at the beach.

If you’ve noticed your bust growing, look for swimsuits with built-in shelf bras or removable padded cups to provide support and lift for your bust. This will help you feel secure and confident when you’re rockin’ your swimsuit and letting that bump show. 

Lastly, when it comes to fabrics, opt for breathable, quick-drying materials that can keep you cool and comfortable in the summer heat without constricting you. Fabrics like nylon, polyester, and spandex are all lightweight and moisture-wicking, helping to keep you dry and comfortable even when you’re splashing around in the water. 

12 Best Swimsuits for Pregnant Women

1) KNIX TRENDING TANKINI SET

This comfortable 2-piece swimsuit is perfect for mothers in their first to third trimester of pregnancy. It comes with leakproof bikini bottoms that can absorb the equivalent of 1 to 3 regular tampons. Meanwhile, the Tankini Top gives the ultimate support thanks to its subtle ruching, adjustable straps, and built-in support bra with removable pads. This adorable set also comes with a sarong for extra coverage on the bottom.

2) CUPSHE ONE SHOULDER FLORAL SWIMSUIT

Who says swimwear for pregnant women can’t be chic, comfortable, and functional? And who says it HAS to be maternity swimwear? This swimsuit from Cupshe is a fantastic choice for pregnant women, offering style and comfort to keep you cool all summer long.

The one-shoulder design provides stylish support while accommodating a growing belly (obviously a must for pregnancy) while the high-waisted bottoms offer extra coverage and support around the belly area without feeling too restrictive. Plus, look at this design, who wouldn’t want to rock this bikini and show off her bump this summer!

3) INGRID & ISABEL MATERNITY TANKINI TOP

Mix and match your swimwear with this versatile tankini top from Ingrid & Isabel. The flattering V-neckline elongates your silhouette, offering both support and a perfect fit. Pair it with your favorite swim bottoms if you already have some or snag a leakproof pair for a customized look that suits your style.

4) KNIX WRAP ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT

If you’re not into the two-piece look and prefer more of a full coverage look, we’ve got you covered (literally). This classic, sleek, and gorgeous one-piece swimsuit is a great option thanks to its stretchy, yet supportive material, built-in support, and a customizable fit thanks to the wrap style.

It pretty much has everything you could need in a swimsuit and comes in a variety of colors to look fashionable and cute this summer. Plus, once you have your baby, you can wear this beauty again next summer since it’s not a maternity suit. Plus, the side-tie design makes it perfect to adjust during every trimester of pregnancy.

5) H&M MAMA V-NECK RUFFLE SWIMSUIT

Keep it simple and classic with this swimsuit from H&M’s MAMA collection. This swimsuit made the list is because I know a mama who swears this is an incredibly cozy swimsuit that’s breathable, supportive, and made of really comfy stretchy material. 

The v-neck neckline and ruched sides create a flattering silhouette, while the soft, stretchy fabric ensures all-day comfort. Plus, with it’s affordable price point there’s no reason this swimsuit shouldn’t be on your list!

6) KINDRED BRAVELY RUFFLE WRAP MATERNITY & NURSING ONE PIECE

This stylish one-piece is one of Kindred Bravely’s best-selling maternity bathing suits as it can be worn from pregnancy through postpartum. It even comes in busty sizes with thick straps (compared to its non-busty sizes). Unlike most nursing-friendly clothes, this swimsuit has a double layer design, making it easy to nurse while still feeling covered up. It’s made of super-stretchy swimwear fabrics for maximum comfort and support. It’s a great choice for any mama during her pregnancy.

7) INGRID & ISABEL MATERNITY BIKINI SKIRT

If you enjoy feeling a little stylish at the beach while laying out with your baby bump, this maternity bikini skirt is calling your name! You can pair it with just about any swim tops such as a v-neck to a tankini and it’ll look oh-so-cute! But let’s discuss its key features: it’s made from a soft, stretchy fabric, has a ruched design to compliment just about any body type, and offers a little more coverage than a traditional bikini.

8) SUMMER MAE MATERNITY RUFFLE HIGH WAIST SWIMSUIT

This flattering swimsuit is a must-have for beach vacations and pool parties alike if you’re expecting and it won’t break the bank! This swimsuit has removable bra padding, a high-waisted bikini bottom for belly support, and adjustable shoulder straps leaving plenty of room for you to adjust and grow into through each trimester of pregnancy.

9) OLD NAVY SLEEVELESS SWIM DRESS

This scoop neck dress with built-in briefs is perfect for a day out at the beach, a pool party, or just because it’s hot out! It’s got a semi-fitted design, so may not be the best in the later trimester unless you size up. However, the swimsuit is made with sun protection fabric, adjustable spaghetti straps, and removable bust pads. This versatile style would look so cute with an oversized shirt and sandals for a fashionable look. 

10) KNIX HIGH ENERGY & SHORT SLEEVE ZIP CROPPED SWIM TOP

Not sure if you want a more covered up look or a sexy look? This short sleep zip crop & high energy top is perfect. For pregnant mothers, it’ll sit just above your baby bump, giving you all the built-in bust support you need with a little extra room to breathe. This isn’t an actual maternity swim top, but it’s great if you like the versatility of wearing a swim top that can show a lot or a little.

Thanks to the front-zip design, it also makes a great nursing top. I have the high energy top (as seen in the photo above) and it’s hands down one of my favorites, I only wish I had it when I was still breastfeeding.

11) NURSING FRIENDLY SWIM ROMPER

This swim romper offers convenience and ease for expectant mothers, such as a soft and stretchy material blend, a built-in bra that offers support and is easy to untuck for nursing baby, adjustable straps, and built-in shorts for added comfort and support.

If a simple design that marks off all the necessities is what you’re after, you can’t beat the price and style of this swim romper. Plus, it has a casual look that makes it perfect for lounging poolside.

12) ASOUL MATERNITY RIBBED ONE PIECE

This adorable swimsuit has a gorgeous v-neck top with a knotted front design and stretchy ribbed material. The high-waisted design with a self-tie back makes them perfect for growing belly support. If you love a classic back tie top and high waist bottom with a twist (literally) — this might be your winner!
