Finding a bikini suitable for big boobs can be a pain. You want to be on trend when you hit the beach or sunbathe poolside, but if every pair of bathers over a C cup look like something your great-granny would have have worn – this proves very difficult. It’s not like you’re not asking for much. Ladies with a bigger bust just need supportive straps and cups that can accomodate their breasts; it’s not rocket science. Luckily, the following 10 brands have done just that, and they’ve made sure that their products are stylish (because you deserve to look like you’re heading to the beach, not like you’re about to jump out of plane with a beige parachute strapped to your back)
