Benefits of Underwire Swimwear
At Curvy Swimwear, we understand the need for supportive swimsuits for all bust sizes and shapes. An underwire swimsuit is ideal for providing bust support and lift for larger cup sizes. Whether it is a one piece, a tankini or a bikini set, we offer underwire support across all our swimwear categories. With underwire swimsuits available from a D cup through to a G cup, our collection is suitable for almost every woman. And for times when underwire isn't appropriate, we offer equally effective alternatives. Read on to learn more about our supportive swimwear and which style is right for you.
Underwire Swimwear
WHAT IS AN UNDERWIRE?
An underwire is essentially the wire that sits under your bust providing you with support and shape. It is a great feature to have on a swimsuit as it shapes you beautifully. It is the only way to get proper bust lift with your swimsuit as it works with adjustable straps to achieve your preferred support and lift - very much like a bra. You will also achieve comfortable separation so your breasts sit nicely inside your swimsuit without feeling over-crowded.
HOW SHOULD AN UNDERWIRE FIT?
An underwire should fit the width of each breast without digging in or gaping. The wire should sit flat against your body, under the breast. If your swimsuit has a back closure, it should sit straight across your mid back when done up. If it rides up, your back fitting is too big and if it digs in, you need a larger size. Adjustable straps will help you achieve lift and support. Adjust them so that your bust sits in the cups without gaping or digging in. Breasts should be cradled by the underwire and fit the cups perfectly.
BENEFITS OF UNDERWIRE
An underwire is a great support for women with a bigger bust. Underwire support can relieve the weight of a larger bust, taking the stress off your back. It can also lift the bust up and off your waist, giving you room to breath and showing off your shape. An underwire swimsuit with a soft cup or light foam contour allows your bust to have a more natural shape rather than the shape moulded cups give you.
SHELF BRA
An alternative to an underwire is a shelf bra. A shelf bra is a supportive elastic strap that sits under the bust. These are great if you are looking for a softer fit and shape. Many women prefer the feel of a wire free swimsuit with a multifit option. If you don't need lift and your bust sits comfortably without underwire support, a shelf bra can give you more options for swimsuit styles.
Underwire Swimsuit Styles
UNDERWIRE ONE PIECE
An underwire one piece is a stylish swimsuit option for a supportive fit. Our ruched underwire style offers flattering tummy control paired with superior underwire support. Adjustable straps allow you to customise your fit and bust lift. If you're looking for a classic bathing suit or strapless style, our scoop one piece and underwire bandeau one piece are stunning underwire options.
UNDERWIRE BIKINI TOP
Our underwire bikini top is a classic bra style bikini that offers excellent support and lift. The contour bra style lifts and shapes the bust for a flattering cleavage. It is available in plain black and a variety of gorgeous prints. We also offer a bandeau option in the pretty Maldives print that you can wear with or without straps. Our classic underwire bikini top can be worn as a swim bra under any other swimsuit for extra bust support.
UNDERWIRE TANKINI TOP
An underwire tankini top is among the most supportive swimwear styles we offer. With fully adjustable straps and no opposing pull like a one piece, you are able to achieve excellent lift and support for the bust. Tankini tops are a great choice for covering the midsection while offering the ease and practicality of separates. They also work double duty on beach days or holidays when you just want to throw on a pair of shorts instead of changing.

This feminine and flattering style supports a DD/E cup bust with adjustable straps and an empire line dress that skims over the lower half of the torso. This cute retro style swim dress features a built in one piece that smooths the body and lets you swim with comfort and confidence.
