Plus Size Maternity Swimwear
In shopping for maternity clothes-plus sizes, finding the right maternity bathing suit is important for pregnant women who live in tropical climates and ones who want to look good at a resort or on a cruise, or just go to the beach or pool.
I know that living here in Florida - everyone is either at the beach or a pool at least 3 times a month or more. Some people go a few times a week, believe it or not. Our wardrobes consist of at least 5 bathing suits.
Also, as swimming is the best exercise when you're pregnant, you might want to join a gym or spa that has a heated swimming pool, so you can exercise during your entire pregnancy.
I did that and was swimming up until 2 days before my delivery! The swimming kept my body toned and I didn't have any stretch marks or extra weight to lose after my baby was born.
First, you want to make sure that the fabric the plus size maternity swimwear is made out of is correct. The best, most stretchy fabric is called Tricot, but that usually isn't advertised. Normally, the fabric content will say "80% nylon, 20% spandex", which is the best ratio of spandex - 20%. Spandex and Lycra are the same fabric, which is the stretch fiber, with Lycra simply being the trade name for spandex.
If it is less than 20% spandex, it won't be stretchy enough. Also, it should stretch in both directions, and be advertised as a 4-way stretch.
Some stretch fabrics only stretch in two directions, which won't be good enough for what you need in plus size maternity swimwear.
Next, you should look for a suit that has ties and not clasps. Ties around the neck will accommodate your growing bust (if it does) and ties around the back will accommodate your growing belly (that's a definete yes).
Whether it is a two-piece or maternity one-piece swim wear, ties around the neck will fit you better. If it's a one-piece, make sure it has a pleat at the center front so that it can accommodate your growing belly, or else the fabric has to be the most stretchy you have ever encountered.
In choosing maternity clothes-plus sizes, select colors that look good on you in regular clothes and that complement your complexion.
One bathing suit that will last you for the entire 9 months is perfect, because you don't have to go out and buy another one when you get bigger. (And I know you girls who don't live in Florida probably don't want to buy 5 bathing suits like we do)!
