Maternity swim wear?

[anna7602]

I seem to have lost a small stash of maternity clothes from my first pregnancy. Naturally, my much beloved maternity swim suit is part of that lost stash and I want to start water aerobics classes soon. So, if you like your swim suit, where is it from? I'm looking at one from Old Navy, but have no idea what their quality is. I plan to get a lot of use out of a suit between weekly water aerobics classes this winter & spring and being pregnant at the height of summer.

I have one from motherhood that I have been happy with. I have not worn it this time around yet, but I go to a weekly water fitness class and plan to wear it soon.

Asos has some cute ones

I have one from motherhood that I like. It hasn't gotten a lot of use so i can't speak to how it would hold up under very regular use, but it seems well made.

I teach aqua aerboics three days each week, so I have a lot of suits. I have two that were hand me downs from a friend from Old Navy, both are one piece. I find those work the best for aqua aerobics. I have two takini style suits, but I rarely wear those as the tops aren't fitted enough. Those are from Target. I use a chlorine rinse to wash my suit after every use and rotate the suits so I never wear the same one two times in a row. That has really helped extend the life of my suits, which was important to me because I didn't think I'd be able to find a maternity suit this time of year if I wore through my suits. Let me know if you want the name of the suit wash, I bought it at a local store but I'm sure you can find it online.

I just wore my bikini until 20 weeks, by then summer was over

I have never used a maternity suit. I just ordered a couple tankinis from J.crew in the next size up and they were sufficient the whole time.

Mine was from Target. I wear tankinis. There was no way my 35+ week bump was going to fit into a normal top even in a size up. I did swim lessons with my older daughter when I was 37 weeks and my bump barely fit in the maternity suit!

I have a one-piece maternity suit from Old Navy and it works great. It was the best price of any I saw, and the quality is just fine. I've used it for lap swimming and a fairly intense (for beig pregnant) aqua tone class.

I wore a bikini with a skirted bottom and wore a t shirt over it whenever I wasn't in the water.

I mostly wore bikinis but I loved this Old Navy one-piece.

I've developed an umbilical hernia with this pregnancy. I have a feeling I won't want anyone to see my belly button as I get bigger. Also, the water feels really cold in indoor pools!

anna7602, the wash is called activewearmate, made by hosiery mate. It has really helped my suits, a three minute soak in the sink and the suits don't smell like chlorine or look faded.

That's the one I have.  It's very forgiving.

Awesome. This is the one I just ordered. I am hoping that now that I placed an order, my missing maternity clothes will suddenly show up.

I've been wearing my bikini...my boobs are almost popping out now, but I'm almost in the third tri so I cannot see myself investing in a swimsuit for the next 3 months only...

I tried doing this last weekend. The results were not family friendly. My VS Beach Sexy top was no match for 3rd tri boobs.   
So, maternity suit it is! 

hahahha! I might be wandering into that territory soon. I already cannot fit in the tops of my string bikinis because I look like a pregnant porn star. I have only one left that I can wear appropriately and am kinda hoping that the boobs stop growing for the last tri so that i don't have to invest in another swimsuit.
