Now June is here, we full fledge into swimsuit season and super hot weather. If you are expecting this is no time to shy away from all the fun at the pool or beach due to pregnancy. Many women are body conscious to begin with, regardless of their body type, and typically pregnancy can bring out that tendency in greater force. However, if you find a truly great maternity swimsuit along with an easy to wear cover-up for poolside lounging, there is nothing to keep you from the water or beach this summer.

Prego Maternity is a great brand to check out when swimsuit shopping. All of their styles are available on the web if you don’t have the time to go out to your local maternity store, or if you don’t care for the selection at your local stores. Many maternity boutiques do not stock a lot swimsuit styles and what is available can often go quickly, so your best bet may be to shop online. Make sure you do checkout the online store’s return policy as some stores only allow store credit or exchanges on returns and some do not allow any returns or exchanges on swimsuits.

Prego Maternity has many different maternity swimsuit styles available. For serious swimmers, checkout their one piece suits such as the Empire Tank which offers the maximum support with wide adjustable strap and a sleek overall design. For more recreational swimmers, the Texture Heart Suit is a good all around suit at a great price point of about $40.

If you are looking for maximum coverage, consider the baby doll styles that come in both halter and tank strap designs. These styles allow full coverage of the belly, chest, hips and bottom in a flirty empire waist cut. 

Other fun styles to consider are the halterkini, tankini and hipkini. All of these styles are different versions of 2 piece suits with belly coverage and bikini bottoms. They are all available in a variety of colors, patterns and ties. Some of these styles have adjustable tie bottoms which are good for women who are bigger on the bottom than the top or vice versa.

If you are all out daring and like to bare it all, take a look at Prego’s maternity bikinis which are really designed to stretch in just the right way for an expecting woman. If you would rather go for a more festive pattern, then Belabumbum’s mandarine or tangerine striped bikini have a fun beachy look.

Even if you have already had your baby and not ready to squeeze back into your former pre-pregnancy suit and especially if you are nursing your baby, there is the perfect suit for you. Belabumbum has come out with a nursing tankini that fits both maternity and postpartum with very discreet nursing access. This nursing swimwear is an adorable 2 piece suit that covers the belly with adjustable bra straps and bikini bottoms. This suit comes in hot pink and black. Many women buy this suit when they are pregnant for maximum before and after use.

When trying on swimsuits, don’t forget to think ahead as you will get bigger as your pregnancy progresses. As women, we are usually programmed by society to squeeze into the smallest suit possible that will suck in any unwanted layers and make us look as thin as possible. However, this approach is usually not the best, or healthiest for an expecting mom to be. If you are between sizes, it is usually best to order up. Also, look for suits that have a good percentage of lyra for extra stretch as you grow, close to 20% is a good guide. Also remember when you wash your suit only machine wash on gentle cycle in cold water and DO NOT put your suit in the dryer or all that lycra will stretch out place and ruin your suit forever. Always drip dry your suit after washing and it should last you throughout your pregnancy.

If you are looking for a little more modesty at the pool or beach, take a look at Maternal America’s Swimsuit Cover-ups and Tunics. These cover-ups come in both a short tie back style with a deep V neck and a longer featherweight tunic style with a scoop neck. Both styles are available in white or black and can be worn with other clothing too for a different look. Also, if you are just looking to cover up the lower half, take a look at Maternal America’s Maternity Board Shorts which are perfect for layering under a swimsuit or wearing casual with a tank or halter top.

So whether you are looking to swim some serious laps this summer or you just want to join in on the fun at the beach or pool, go ahead and invest in a maternity swimsuit and cover-up that works for your personal style and body type. Have fun in the sun and water this summer!

If you plan on doing any swimming while pregnant or going to beach vacation destinations, one item you will need for sure is a maternity swimsuit. Although you may be able to get away with some non-maternity clothes such as empire tops or even squeeze into your husbands jeans for your regular wardrobe, you certainly don’t want to try and fit into your pre-pregnancy bathing suit or even think of wearing your husband’s swimwear! Here are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping for a maternity swimsuit:

1) If you are buying your maternity swimsuit early in your pregnancy, then buy a little bigger than you need. Although you don’t want your suit to fall off or sag in the water and you certainly do want bust support, just remember that a tight fit will only get tighter as you progress in your pregnancy.

2) Buy a maternity swimsuit with plenty of stretch – especially where you need it in the belly, bust and hips. A lot of women forget that their bust size will increase, so you need a suit that will have enough room and support in the bust. Also, look for suits, such as styles by Prego Maternity, that are 20% Lycra, which will allow the maximum stretch.

3) If you are bigger in the hips, look for side tie options. Many women are not the same size from top to bottom, so if this is the case with your pregnancy figure, look for a suit with adjustable side ties for the hips. Many Hipkinis and Tankinis have this option for the bottom bikini.

4) If you plan on doing serious lap swimming, buy a one piece suit. Although strapless minis and cute babydoll suits can look great on the beach, these are not the best suits to wear in the pool for lap swimming. The Empire Tank by Prego Maternity is a super supportive and slick one piece suit that is a great option for lap swimming or water aerobics. Many women who plan on spending a lot of time at the pool or beach buy two suits – one for fashion and one for real swimming.

5) If you are bigger in the bust, make sure you get a suit with adequate bust support. Look for suits that have wider shoulder straps that are adjustable. Suits that come up higher in the back or even have an added bra-like clip support in the back, will give you more support in the bust. If you already are bigger in the bust, remember that you may increase up to a full cup size or more when pregnant. Also, look for suits that have some slight padding in the bust that will give you smoother shape and not show through when wet.

6) Don’t forget about swimsuit accessories. Maternity swimsuit cover-ups are an easy item to throw on over your maternity swimsuit when going to and from the beach and pool and can even double as great loungewear. Maternal America makes a number of great style swimsuit cover-ups and tunics as well as Board Shorts that can be worn over Bikini Bottoms. BelaBumBum makes some really stylish bikinis too.

Finally, don’t forget to try on your suit before you grab it for a vacation. Your pregnancy body changes at a rapid rate, so a suit that fit you perfectly 2 months ago, may suddenly be too small for you when you arrive at your vacation destination. Also allow enough time to shop for a maternity swimsuit before a trip because many maternity stores do not stock maternity swimsuits year round and it may take over a week to get one shipped to you when buying online. Also, you want to make sure you like your purchase when buying online, so allow time in case you need to exchange for another style or size.

Most of all do not let the task of maternity swimsuit shopping keep you from the pool or beach. Once you find the suit that is perfect for your body and style, you will feel confident wearing it. Enjoy the water!

With Summer just around the corner, it is not too early to begin shopping for the perfect maternity swimsuit. This season has some sizzling hot styles and patterns that will make you feel like one hot mama when you hit the pool or beach this summer. Here’s a breakdown of some of the best maternity swimsuit styles today:

Tankinis are a great style for most any women who is expecting. The 2 piece gives you the feel of a bikini while the belly skimming style gives you a flirty look combined with a bit of modesty for those of us who do not want to show all their expecting tummy at the pool. The tank style usually comes with adjustable straps and better support for larger busted women. Usually the wider the strap and the higher the back, the better the bust support in the suit. Belabumbum’s nursing/maternity tankini is a personal favorite in hot pink. This suit is designed for both maternity and postpartum with discreet nursing access. Very cute and sassy! This suit also comes in solid black.

Halterkinis are another stylish alternative to a one piece or bikini. The halterkini styles typically have an adjustable tie around the neck which always gives a flattering, slimming and feminine silhouette look. Many women like to wear the halter tops separately with jeans or shorts. Look for halter tops that have some padding and good support so that they continue to support well when wet and don’t show through. Prego Maternity has a number of super cute patterned halterkinis out this season. The Hippie Chic Sweetheart is especially well designed with wider straps than previous year’s Sweetheart styles and fun festive paisley pattern that is sure to flatter.

If you are looking for more coverage and maximum support, then the babydoll style is a good option. Prego Maternity makes both a halter babydoll and the tank style in the plus babydoll which runs in sizes large-2X. The babydoll is an empire style top with a longer skirt which fully covers the hips and bottom in a mini-dress style. The bottoms fully cover the belly for maximum coverage if the skirt floats up in the water. This style has wide straps and is slightly bigger in the bust.

If you prefer strapless, but still looking for some hip and bottom coverage, then the strapless mini is a good choice. Prego Maternity’s strapless mini maternity swimwear comes in a variety of patterns and solids including a new First Bloom pattern with tapestry of hot pink and black flower blooms and swirling leafs interlaced with white. The strapless has a removable halter string for extra protection when swimming. The snug fitting style provides a beautiful silhouette on your blooming curves and shapes while allowing you to get a nice tan line across the shoulders.

If you are real swimmer, then there is not substitute for well fitting one piece suit to allow you to glide across the water with no extra fabrics and skirts floating in your mist. Prego Maternity’s Empire Tank is the best suit out there for lap swimming. This suit provides superior bust support and stretches to perfectly encapsulate your growing curves and belly. It is very comfortable for lap swimming and very flattering on.

Maternal America’s 1 Piece Keyhole swimsuit gives you a little more zing and sex appeal to your classic one piece suit. The beautiful ruched keyhole design just below the bust and above the tummy creates a slimming and flattering style which de-emphasizes the belly while showing off your pregnant shape. Halter straps add to the over all sexy and fabulous silhouette of this suit on your pregnancy figure. This suit comes in beautiful solid sky and fruit punch colors this season as well as classic black.

For those of you who love bikinis, Maternal America has some to die for styles out this season. The Jill Boy Bikini is simply adorable. This style maternity bikini has a securely fitting ruched top with a halter string that can also be worn strapless. The matching bikini boy short bottoms are just enough leg to cover your bottom with no ride up and comfortably fitting under the belly for a great fit and sassy look. This style looks especially great in this season’s hot Fruit Punch solid color and Flower Power pattern.

As for maternity cover-ups, check out Maternal America’s new strapless cover-up in Carnival print. This cover-up is light, breezy and easy to wear. You can also wear it as a regular tube top. Also Maternal America’s new Strapless Flower maternity dress, which is also a smocked tube style but longer dress, doubles fabulously as a swimsuit cover-up. As for classic white and black, there is Maternal America’s bestselling tunic swimsuit cover up with deep V neck and adjustable ties in the back. This style can also be layered over a fitted top or tank for a casual everyday top with jeans, capris or shorts.

Whether you opt for full coverage with a babydoll or a skimpy sexy boyshort bikini, there are plenty of styles to choose from with cover-ups to match this swimsuit season.

The approach to finding the perfect maternity swimwear for your ever changing pregnant shape is a whole different game than shopping for a pre-pregnancy swimsuit. First, the objectives are completely changed: instead of flattening out the belly and minimizing the waist, you are looking for comfort and stretch. Lots of stretch! However, one goal remains unchanged: you want to look your best and you want your suit to flatter your shape!

To best show off your changing shape and accent all the positive – your enhanced bust line and curvier curves, shop for a maternity swimsuit that can comfortably be worn from your 1st trimester through your 3rd trimester. Comfort, ease of fit and bust support are very important factors in choosing your suit. The last thing any expectant mother wants to feel is constricted by her clothes! Trying to fit into your former life pre-pregnancy suits is not only unflattering but may make it hard to breathe.

Prego Maternity is a specialty maternity swimsuit line with a wide variety suits from halter babydolls, tankinis, halterkinis, ring-kinis, one piece performance suits and even maternity bikinis. Prego’s swimsuits are made with 80% Nylon and 20% Lycra which allow a lot of stretch to fit women through all trimesters of their pregnancy.

Increasingly, many of the top maternity designers are finding their way into fashionable maternity swimwear such as Maternal America, Olian Maternity and Ripe Maternity. If you are shopping online for a maternity swimsuit, it is important that you find out if the suits contain about 20% Lycra to allow enough stretch. Also, review the store’s return policy on swimsuits as you cannot be sure until you try it on if it really fits.

A few tips in choosing your Maternity Swimsuit:

If you are a serious lap swimmer and are looking for a good performance maternity swimsuit, there is no substitute for your basic one piece suit. Prego Maternity’s Empire Tank is a good choice and also provides a good amount of bust support.

If you are looking to camouflage the hip and bottom area, go for a skirted style such as the Babydoll. Prego Maternity has a variety of solids and print patterns in the Halter Babydoll and the Babydoll Plus which is a tank style babydoll.

If you want to show a little belly but not bear all in a bikini, the tankini and halterkinis are a fun flirty style. Prego Maternity, Maternal America, Ripe and BellaBumBum make this style is wide variety of prints and solids. Hint: The larger prints are more flattering for bigger bellies!

If you want a little more room in the hip area, go for the side tie bottom 2 piece styles that can be adjusted as your shape changes. You can find these in the Tankini, Hipkini and Halterkini varieties. For bigger bust or more bust support, look for tank style tops with wide adjustable straps. Styles that fit higher on the back usually offer better support. The halter style is typically better for smaller to medium size bust with the exception of the Prego Halter Babydoll that does provide a good amount of support and has a larger cup size. Also, make sure that the suit you choose has ample room and stretch in the bust if you have another trimester or two to go!

Finally if you are one the brave beautiful bellied women who want to flaunt it all at the pool or beach, there’s the perfect maternity bikini for you! The advantage of the maternity bikini verses a regular bikini is that it is made with a lot more stretch and more room in the bust. The side tie styles also allow for more room in the hip area.

A maternity swimsuit is one item that every woman should have in their maternity wardrobe.

There are a lot of clothing basics that you can cheat on for maternity clothes – steal a few of your husband’s sweaters or sweatshirts, wear a BellaBand to get a little more mileage out of pre-pregnancy tops that don’t fully cover your belly or to squeeze into those pre-pregnancy jeans that need to be worn unbuttoned. But one item you need for sure if you are going near a pool or beach is a maternity swimsuit. No matter how stretchy your regular pre-pregnancy swimsuit may have been, there is no way you can comfortably squeeze yourself into it once you are expecting! Nor, would we recommend this sort of body constriction for you and your baby’s health!

Fortunately there are a lot of great maternity swimwear styles to choose from today. Whether you are looking for a lot of room in the belly, more room in the bust or a little extra coverage over the hips or bottom, there is a style for you. Here are a few recommendations:

For the serious swimmer the Prego Maternity Empire Tank is a sleek black one piece with plenty of bust support and needed stretch in the belly. This suit is designed to comfortably hug your shape so you can glide through the water and swim as many laps as you like without having to fight your suit in the process!

If you are just looking to take a mommy and me swim class with a toddler while expecting or participate in a mom’s aqua- aerobics class or simply prefer the one piece look, the Prego Maternity Texture Heart is a great all purpose suit and a great buy too at $39! This suit is very stretchy and has a shelf bra. The straps criss-cross in the back to form the shape of a heart.

If you like a little extra coverage about the hips and bottom and need a little extra room in the bust, then the Prego Maternity Halter Baby Doll and the Prego Maternity Solid Plus Baby Doll will flatter your shape. Both of these suits cover the belly and hips and bottom with a Baby Doll dress style and have separate bottoms that fit to cover the belly. Both of these styles come with a padded bra that is extra supportive with wide adjustable halter or tank straps.

If you are looking for a cute halter top swimsuit that gives more bust support and not too much cleavage, then the Prego Maternity Swimwear Sweetheart is a good choice. This suit has a cinched bra with cups and adjustable tie halter straps. The bottoms fit under the belly. This style is available in solid Black, Brown and pattern.

So don’t let pregnancy keep you out of the water, find the suit that best fits and flatters your shape and have fun!

Just because you are pregnant, does not mean you have to shy away from the beach or pool. It also does not mean you have to hide behind big tee shirts as you watch your family in the water. Today there are many flattering and sexy maternity swimwear styles on the market that can perfectly compliment your evolving shape as you step out on the beach or in the pool. Here are some recommendations based upon your body type and personal style choice.

Halter Maternity Swimsuits
Embrace your enhanced cleavage with a well made halter maternity swimsuit in a fun color combination or pattern. The magic of halters is that they can be tied to achieve the perfect fit and accommodate a changing shape. They also give you a pretty and feminine silhouette while flattering both your shoulders and bust and giving you an overall slimming appearance. Prego Maternity has a number of fun and pretty patterns out this summer. A great one is their Aqua Trim Tie Halter in an aqua and chocolate polka dot pattern that pops. This suit comes with contrast chocolate brown bottoms that fit under the belly and match the chocolate trim tie and polka dots in the top. If you prefer a black contrast halter swimsuit, take a look at Prego Maternity’s Roxy Dot Tie Halter which is made in a similar style but also with a front black tie and a hip and retro pattern of bold geometric white dot clusters integrated with aqua and yellow against a black backdrop and with black bellow the belly bottoms.

If like the halter style, but find yourself needing more room in the hip and bottom area, then try out the adjustable tie style bottoms with the halter top. The Black Dot Tie Halter and Aqua Dot Tie Halter by Prego are the same style suit in different patterns – The Black Dot pattern is white dots on a black backdrop with tie black bottoms and the Aqua Dot pattern is aqua and chocolate dots on white with tie chocolate bottoms. These styles are very popular with expecting women as the bottoms fit even lower below the belly than the standard halter bottoms and the side tie sashes can be adjusted to fit throughout your whole pregnancy.

Tank Maternity Swimsuits
If you need a bit more bust support or are looking to do some serious lap swimming, many women find they are more comfortable in a supportive tank suit with adjustable straps. The Prego Maternity Ring-Kini offers wide supportive straps with rings accenting a pretty V neck and under the belly bottoms. This suit comes in both a solid aqua top with chocolate bottoms and solid black on both top and bottoms. If you are looking for a fun beachy patterned suit, take a look at the Prego Maternity Mad Hatter Tie Tankini that has both bottom ties and a matching string tie in the top along with tank straps. The Mad Hatter Pattern is a festive floral pattern in both pinkish orange combo on white with orange bottoms and an aqua green combo on white with aqua bottoms.

Strapless Minis Maternity Swimwear
If you looking to totally cover your belly, bottom and hips but want to look sexy at the same time, there is no better style than the mini. The mini allows you to show a little more skin on the top with the strapless design while hiding your middle section and simultaneously complimenting your curves. Prego’s minis comes in solid black, brown, olive and mocha as well as patterns. Check out their Black Dot Strapless Mini which is white dots set against a black backdrop on both top and bottoms, the same pattern as the Black Dot Tie Halter. Another fun pattern is the Tiki Strapless Mini with a white Hawaiian Floral pattern on red. This suit is both festive and sexy with taste. If more understated and subtle is your style, the Bali Strapless Mini is a great choice. The Bali pattern is a latte brown on cream with an intricate paisley like design that is super sexy. Most minis come with a removable halter string that can be attached around the neck for a little extra security for lap swimming. All of Prego’s suits come with a lightly padded bra for a super flattering look both in and out of the water.

So, go ahead and step out on the pool or beach in a suit that suits your personal style and compliments your shape. Remember don’t try to squeeze into a pre-pregnancy suit after your first month or two of pregnancy because you will only be uncomfortable and constricted all over. Go ahead and invest in a well made maternity suit that allows you to enjoy your pregnancy in style and that will last you all summer long.
