"Being pregnant in the summer definitely has its perks—goodbye real pants, hello sundresses! On the flip side, finding swimwear to accommodate a growing belly can be tricky. Sure, if you’re early on in your pregnancy, your pre-pregnancy swimsuit can work just fine. But for those entering the last few months of pregnancy and sporting basketball-like bellies, finding the best maternity swimsuits is necessary to survive the summer heat.

We’re all for rocking whatever makes you feel your best. From bikinis and tankinis to one-pieces and stretchy non-maternity picks that you can size up in, we’ve rounded up more than 40 of the best bump-friendly swimsuits that you’ll actually love to wear all summer long.
One-Piece Maternity Swimsuits
Being in the pool makes maternity life in the summer so much better (hello, floating in the pool for back relief!). But a swimsuit that’s comfortable is a must-have, too. I love one-piece maternity swimsuits because, like the water, they provide support for a growing belly. With maternity one-pieces, ruching gives that stretch you need when you’re nearing the third trimester. And, when you’re needing some extra coverage for a growing bust, one-pieces are an all-around pick when it comes to maternity swimsuits.
Maternity Bikinis
You also can’t go wrong with a bikini set during pregnancy. Bikini sets give versatility, especially if you need to swap out just the top or bottom to accommodate areas where you’re growing. Plus, multiple options make being pregnant way more fun during the summer—when you’re poolside all season!
Maternity Tankinis
Tankinis are so adaptable to your body. When you want ultimate comfort and a swimsuit that will definitely last you through your whole pregnancy, tankinis are the best option. Opt for a flowy one for better breathability. They give coverage and comfort and are great for postpartum, too.

Nursing-Friendly Swimsuits
Having a nursing-friendly swimsuit is key to not interrupting beach days with the family. With these nursing-friendly swimsuits, you’ll be able to enjoy your time in the water and easily feed your baby, too. Wrap-style swimsuits are my favorite because not only are they flattering, but they also give you great coverage. Buttoned-up nursing suits give you easy access for you and your baby when you’re on-the-go. And, knotted maternity swimsuits are chic and functional for a nursing mom.
