17 Bathing Suits You'll Be Obsessed With If You Have Small Boobs

One can never have too many bathing suits, or at least that's what I've been telling myself since roughly the seventh grade when I ordered a bathing suit in every style from Delia's. However, finding bathing suits for small boobs isn't as easy as it sounds and can often require some research. Luckily, as a woman with small boobs, I am a pro at shopping for swimsuits that are far from ill-fitting.

As a young, naive teenager, I spent most of my youth searching for bathing suits with significant padding, wishing to trick people into thinking I had cleavage. Spoiler alert: I didn't and I don't. But as I've gotten older, I've slowly realized that finding the best bathing suits for a small chest in the fit department can do way more for your bust than layers of padding.

These days, there are swimsuits of all different shapes and designs, from v-neck one-pieces to trendy wrap two-pieces that are circulating all over Instagram. But what it really all comes down to is wearing what you feel best in. So no matter what kind of suit you're looking for, there are so many options out there for you.
