How We Picked the Best Maternity Swimsuits
To put this list together, there were a few very important factors that we had to take into consideration.
-
Comfort
Obviously, you want your bathing suit to be comfortable, otherwise, what’s the point? We included some of the best options that will fit well over your baby bump or postpartum belly.
-
Affordability
Swimsuits can get pricey so we considered this as well. It’s likely that beyond postpartum you will go back to a regular suit, so spending lots of money on a super-expensive maternity suit might not be ideal.
-
Style
There are so many swimsuit styles on the market and everyone has their favorite. Believe it or not, there’s a large variety of styles when it comes to maternity swimsuits so we tried to include as many as possible to give you lots of options. Not everyone likes a two-piece!
