Women's one-piece swimsuits, shaping or sporty
The women's one-piece swimsuit covers the bust and stomach in one go: smoothing to shape the silhouette, with underwire to support a generous bust, cut high to elongate the legs, or sporty for swimming lengths. Banana Moon, Freya, and Fantasie are among the brands available.
A underwired one-piece swimsuit, sold in cup sizes, offers support just like a bra.
Why choose a one-piece swimsuit?
The women's one-piece swimsuit provides good support, doesn't move when you swim or play in the waves, and covers the belly. It goes from the beach to the pool and can be worn as a bodysuit under a skirt or shorts in summer.
Which one-piece swimsuit for your body shape?
For a rounded belly, a shaping swimsuit with a panel on the belly or side ruching smooths the silhouette. For a generous bust, a style with underwire and wide straps. To elongate the leg, a high cut on the hips. For a long torso, check the height of the swimsuit.
Sport or beach one-piece swimsuit?
A sports swimsuit, with a racerback or crisscross design, made from chlorine-resistant fabric, is suitable for lengths and aquagym. A beach swimsuit, with a lower neckline, backless or cut-outs, prioritises style and tanning.
How to find the right size?
Start with your bra size for an underwired model. Check the torso length: if it's too short, the swimsuit pulls on the shoulders; if it's too long, it creates ruffles at the belly. A wet swimsuit stretches slightly.
How to care for a swimsuit?
Rinse it with clean water after each swim, hand wash it in cold water without twisting, and lay it flat to dry in the shade: the sun and chlorine damage elastane.

Frequently asked questions
Is a one-piece swimsuit good for tanning?
It leaves marks on the belly and back. A backless or cut-out model limits marks while still providing support.
How to prevent a one-piece swimsuit from becoming see-through?
Choose a lined swimsuit, especially in light colours. Rinse it after each swim: chlorine thins the fabric.
One-piece swimsuit or trikini: what's the difference?
A trikini is a one-piece with cut-outs at the waist that looks like a two-piece connected in the middle. It shows skin while maintaining the support of a one-piece.
What one-piece swimsuit after pregnancy?
A shaping model with ruching on the belly and adjustable straps. An integrated support adapts to a changing bust.
Can you wear a one-piece swimsuit as a bodysuit?
Yes, a plain swimsuit with sleeves or a high collar can be worn as a bodysuit under a skirt or shorts in summer. Choose an opaque model.
