Choosing the right bikini size can be a challenging task for many women. With countless options available in stores and online, it's easy to become overwhelmed and unsure about what size will best suit your body. But fear not! This blog will guide you through the process of finding the perfect bikini size that will not only flatter your figure but also make you feel confident and comfortable no matter where the summer takes you.

Understand Your Body Shape

Before diving into the world of bikini sizes, it might be worth understanding your beautiful body shape. Knowing your body shape will help you determine what styles and sizes will help you confident and comfortable while also providing the right level of support. We are all unique and our body shapes are no exception. From hourglass and pear to apple and athletic each of these body shapes have their own unique proportions and deserve to be celebrated.  

The most common body types are hourglass, pear, apple, and athletic. Each type has its own unique proportions that require different bikini sizes. So, understanding your body type will provide you with a foundation for finding the perfect fit for you. From curvier frames to athletic body types, we’ve made it easier to find swimwear to fit and flatter your figure. From strapless bikini tops to high-waisted bikini bottoms we’ve got a range of swimwear styles to help you look and feel fabulous all summer long. If you’re still unsure of your body type and which bikini style will support you and leave you feeling comfortable and fabulous check out our dedicated blog.

Size Charts Are Your Best Friend

When it comes to bikini sizing, we recommend shopping for the same size as you would for your lingerie. Luckily for you our bikini styles are available in both dress sizes and cup sizes. When you’re shopping for a bikini with Pour Moi you never have to worry about fit, we pride ourselves on providing you with the perfect fit, while giving you all the support and comfort you need. So simply if you know your dress or cup size, go with that!  

However, if you aren’t sure of your lingerie size why not try our free, secure and no obligation to buy virtual fit service. Our expert team of bra fitters will help you find the bra or bikini that fits, flatters and makes you feel amazing! However, if you aren't in need of a virtual fit, we have lots of other resources for you to try, such as our fit calculator or conversion chart to help you find your perfect size. You can also find all our swimwear sizes that we stock here. If you still can’t find your size, why not look at your sister size here.

Consider Cup Size

The majority of our bikinis are cup sized for a reason. So, you get all the same support and comfort as your Pour Moi bra without compromising on style. So, whether you’re a smaller chested girl, have larger boobs or anywhere in-between our cup-sized bikini tops work for any chest size. Take a look at our dedicated blog that goes into a lot more detail on the perfect bikini top style based on your chest size. For a quick rundown triangle bikinis and bandeau tops look fabulous on people with smaller chests and for our bigger busted babes our non-padded bikini tops will give you all the support we need. But who are we to talk, we want you to wear whatever you feel confident and comfortable in!

Adjustable Straps and Tie-Sides

There’s no need to shy away from bikini styles that offer adjustable straps or tie sides. These options allow you to customise to find your perfect fit. While adjustable straps can provide extra support for your bust, tie-side bikini bottoms can accommodate different hip sizes and allow for a comfortable fit adjusted to your body. For even more customisation, why not try strapless bikinis, the majority of which include removable straps so you can wear with or without straps.

Choosing the Right Bottoms

When it comes to bikini bottoms, it's important to think about both comfort and style. Luckily for you we have a variety of different style bikini bottoms that complement every body shape and size. From high-waisted bikini bottoms that enhance your natural figure and provide added coverage to tie-side bikini bottoms that lower on the hips and allow you to adjust the style to suit you. To find the style that makes you feel most confident and comfortable, why not experiment with different options.

Remember, Comfort is Key

Ultimately, and I’m sure you’ll agree the most important factor when choosing a bikini size is your own comfort. Avoid selecting a size based on societal expectations or pressure to conform to a specific body ideal. Embrace and celebrate your unique body shape and choose a bikini (and size) that makes you feel fabulous! 

In the end, finding the perfect bikini size is all about understanding your body, consulting size charts, experimenting with styles, and most importantly, prioritising your own comfort. Whether you're lounging by the pool or hitting the beach, the right bikini size will have you feeling confident and ready for endless summer vibes.
