    I'm going away in October and want a bikini that won't look a state on me. Something high waisted maybe that will keep my love handles undercover. I've checked the usual websites and there's nothing I think would suit my shape. I hold any excess weight around my middle, think Homer Simpson. Any suggestions?[/quote

    I have same shape. Not sure what size or age you are but Would you consider a swim dress? I bought one in simply be a few years ago. I found it very flattering. I've lost weight since then but still a bit conscious of my body so I've bought surf board shorts from ali express and will get a bikini top to go with it. I'm not really a beach person so I'll just wear a t shirt over that so at least I'll look 'beachy' when I'm there a couple of times on hols.

    Ali express is China based and really cheap but be prepared to wait between 3-6 weeks for delivery

    I got mine within a week which was unbelievably quick. I've ordered another pair. God knows when they'll arrive. Sports direct do a similar type of shorts.

    Debenhams have a good selection of those type of shorts, and high waisted bikinis. Most of them seem to be on sale now too.

    If you've a store near you you can order what you want online and then bring it back to the shop. I've been known to order about 10 different swimsuits just so I can try them all on and see what suits! Then return most of them!

    They have this style in dunnes at the moment, I think they are awesome. I have to hide some surgery scars... Few different patterns.

    Maybe head in and try them on and see if the style suits.
    There are online places to order from if it does... Never ordered from here, but they seem to have loads.

    I ordered a couple from sportsdirect online for really cheap and arrived in about a week. Good quality too not cheapo stuff.
    H+M had lots on their website too but didn't end up getting them.

    How's the quality like?

    Change are really good for bikinis and you can try them on which is a bonus - not sure where you are based but they are in Pavilions Shopping Centre and Omni Shopping Centre in Dublin, Dundalk, Galway & Kilkenny. I bought two on sale & they have lasted 3 sun holidays - really good quality.
