The Best Swimwear for New Moms

Farm Rio - Floral Scarf Bikini Top

The Tropical Print Bikini

Whether you're on a tropical vacation or just relaxing in your backyard, you'll want this high-waisted swimsuit. The bottoms cover most of your lower section while the knotted top has lightly padded cups and adjustable straps.

Chiara Boni La Petite Robe - One-Shoulder Tied Swimsuit

The Ruched One-Piece Swimsuit

For those seeking more coverage, slip into this black one-piece. The neckline draws the eyes to your collar bone and shoulders while the diagonal ruching flatters your figure.

Hatch Collection - The Antigua Bikini

The Ruffle Bikini 

A bikini you can wear during and after pregnancy. This sweet two-piece comes in a few colors, but we love the pink the most. The top's straps can criss-cross or tie as a halter in the back. Below the bust, there's an interior elastic for added support, and the bottoms are reversible! This swimsuit is fully lined and even has sun protection.

Athleta - Maldives High Neck Tankini

The Classic Tankini 

Made from recycled nylon, this tankini offers plenty of coverage for your body up top. (You can get the cheekier matching bikini bottoms here (opens in new tab).) The tankini has sun protection and will feel smooth and sleek on your skin. Plus, it has removable, fast-drying cups. 

Johanna Ortiz x H&M - One-Shoulder Swimsuit

The Floral One-Shoulder Swimsuit

Johanna Ortiz collaborated with H&M on a collection that has Ortiz's unique design DNA but remains affordable. This palm leaf printed one-shoulder swimsuit is great for the mom who isn't afraid to be bold and fun. Slip into this one-piece and pose with baby for that adorable mom-and-me photo.

Paper London - Ricki Baker Bikini Top

The Colorblock Bikini 

Paper London's bikini top can be untied quickly, which makes nursing a little easier for moms. Though this swimsuit provides less coverage, the artsy design is worth showing off. In addition, both the bikini top and bottom (opens in new tab) are made of sustainable and recycled materials.

Lisa Marie Fernandez - 2-Piece Buckle Bandeau Bikini Set

The Strapless High-Waisted Bikini 

This textured bandeau top has a sweetheart neckline, which creates a very feminine shape, while the high-waisted bottoms guarantee a flattering fit. We love the buckle details on the swimsuit, and given the neutral tones, this bikini won't go out of style anytime soon. 

Summersalt - The Plunge

The Plunging Neckline Swimsuit

Summersalt's plunging neckline swimsuit provides just the right amount of functional coverage for postpartum moms without sacrificing style and sexiness. This classic black one-piece swimsuit will remain relevant and wearable in the years to come.

Palm - Cenit Shirred Bikini Top

The Fashion-Forward Bikini 

Our favorite detail in this high-waisted bikini set is the uniqulely draped top. It has underwire cups for support and a slim-cut fit to highlight your boobs. The bottoms come with a cute belt (opens in new tab) and provides coverage around the stomach area. 

Seea - Hermosa Rash Guard Swim Shirt

The Rash Guard Swimsuit 

This long-sleeve swim top is wonderful for new moms who want to relax on the beach while people-watching from afar. It safely covers your body against the sun's rays and can be paired with virtually any bikini bottoms you already have in your closet.

Cala de la Cruz - Alison Strapless Graphic-Print Swimsuit

The Strapless Graphic Swimsuit

This black and white graphic swimsuit keeps the attention on the cool print instead of any part of your body you may feel self-conscious about. Even though it's a strapless style, it has a snug fit and ties that knot across the back to keep this piece from budging. Just undo the straps and pull down the top for easy nursing. 

Seea - Georgia Bikini Top

The Retro Bikini 

For moms with a retro style, you'll want this zigzag patterned Seea bikini top (get the matching bottoms here (opens in new tab)). Both pieces provide coverage while still allowing your skin to soak up that much-deserved sunshine. 

Ganni - Recycled Rose Print Tie Strap Bikini Top

The Balconette Bikini 

For a bikini that you can wear for years to come, try this romantic rose print swimsuit. The bikini is made from recycled fabric and has an underwire balconette top to keep the girls in place, plus easy-to-undo straps for baby to nurse. Style with coordinating high-waisted bottoms (opens in new tab).  

Anemone - Square-Neck One-Piece Swimsuit

The Backless One-Piece Swimsuit

Plunging necklines not for you? Perhaps this backless swimsuit is more of your style. Wear with confidence and a cute sunhat (opens in new tab) for some positively good vibes this summer.

Hunza G - Brigette Seersucker Bikini Set

The Seersucker Bikini 

No one has time to wear something uncomfortable, especially moms who prefer comfy separates when she's on the go. This soft and stretchy bikini from Hunza G will feel like you're wearing nothing. Plus, the top is so easy to pull down for emergency nursing at the beach.
