Some of us know that underwire is the only option for the girls. Body Glove got that memo and delivered with its structured bikini top that’s suited solely for cup sizes D through F. “Instead of smashing my boobs together, this top gently separates them,” one Amazon shopper writes. “The underwire gives me just the right amount of shape and support, and the sides cover my entire boob, so there’s no spilling out the sides.” The top crisscrosses in the back, and it can be tied close—a real plus for adjustability. Throw in bottoms for a full bikini.

“I have very large breasts (am currently a size 36 F or G, for context) and never felt secure in any swimsuit I tried on unless I looked like I was going scuba-diving with a team of grandmother nuns—meaning that only the least-cute options are what provided actual support. That’s until I found TA3’s suit!” Glamour associate beauty editor Danielle Sinay says of this suit, which is designed with a corset-style back that’s as slyly supportive as it is, well, hot. “It essentially functions as gorgeous shapewear with a built-in bra. Ever since getting mine (which I now have in several colors), I actually feel comfortable going to—and running on—the beach!”

For the utmost support, reach for a bikini that reminds you of your favorite bra (if you have one!). “Last summer I discovered just how much of a difference underwire tops make,” says Glamour’s Navarro. “I always wanted to focus on trendy styles, but so many didn’t work for my body type, nor did they give my breasts the support they needed.” While it might not have actual bra-size options, its size range makes it easier to find the perfect fit.

That’s exactly the case for Glamour’s Navarro when it comes to Knix. “I’ve had a lot of uncomfortable body fluctuations for the past two years, and Knix bras and underwear were always a saving grace, so I was thrilled when the brand launched swim,” she says. “This bikini top feels similar to Knix’s seamless bralette, but with more compression and support, of course.”
