I'm a 40 year old with a total mom bod and the inexpensive swim suits from the big box stores just don't come with enough coverage or compression. Am I right?!? Summer 2020 I needed some new suits but I didn't want to spend a fortune. So I purchased three suits from the J. Crew summer sale and only one lasted through the summer. One!!
