We are mere days away from the unofficial start of summer, which means swimsuit season has arrived in full force — a time that can be fraught for many. Finding a swimsuit that makes you feel comfortable, confident and like your best self is easier said than done, especially for many women who have had children. This sentiment was echoed by several of my colleagues, one of whom even wrote in Slack: “I have no shame in my bod after three kids but also would like to look [fire emoji] at the neighborhood pool this summer.”
Whether you’re a mom or not, a great one-piece swimsuit should make you feel amazing in your own skin. Luckily, there are swimsuits out there that live within the happy medium between naked and matronly! Below, we rounded up a selection of great-looking one-piece swimsuits that will make you look hot while still providing enough coverage to keep you comfy all day long, whether you’re splashing around with your kids or lounging poolside while sipping a mimosa (or both).

Promising reviews: "I'm a mom of 3, 5'6 and 150lbs and got a size medium. It's very flattering. I think the placement of the ties in the back help with the shape. It also doesn't accentuate my mommy belly. I wouldn't say it has a lot of tummy control but it is very flattering. I can't wait to wear it. I'm already thinking about getting another color." — Kristen
"It is so hard for me to find swimsuits that are flattering on me and make me look my age. I am 28, so I still like to look "hot" and feel sexy, but I am 5'8" and 170 lbs so a string bikini is no longer an option lol. This bathing suit is adorable and it wrinkles around the hips/stomach which gives me a thinner, sexier look. The pattern is super cute and I will probably order this in every color. The cleavage part also supports my breasts in a flattering way and my husband is also a fan lol. A must need for the summer season!" — bbq_princess
Promising review: "I have bought SO MANY bathing suits that I had very high hopes for and just didn't pan out.. but this one really delivers on everything promised. It is comfortable and sexy and modest and flattering all at once. Not too high on the leg or too low on the bust, but shows just enough to feel trendy. Not at all matronly but covered up enough to be appropriate the kiddie pool, while still somehow being the sexiest suit I own. It just looks and feels great!" — Henryandjune
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this suit. I purchased it for an upcoming trip to Cabo, and I cannot wait to wear this! It is sexy, but secure. I don't feel like I'm going to fall out of this suit at all. Fits like a glove, and is so very flattering. The color is gorgeous. I own several Andie suites and I love them all, but this might be my favorite. Please make the Romana in more color options, I'll buy them all!" — McKenna
Promising review: "Modest but sexy for this 44yo mommy. The cut shows just enough but covers where appropriate. Compression fabric hugs all your curves nicely and held up well in the water. Wore for 8hrs and felt like my second skin. For reference I am 5’5” and 115lbs and got small." — Sarah N.
Promising review: "This suit is freaking CHIC. I’m a new mom experiencing my first summer with a mum tum (plus some leftover baby weight), so I wasn’t feeling my best when it came time to head poolside. My pre-pregnancy suits fit, but they weren’t as flattering as they once were. Enter this suit! It is great! It has some slight gathering/ruching across the stomach that camouflages any lumps and bumps you might not love. Bust not as perky as it once was? This suit has bra cups that lend support and shape. The neckline is so pretty, too! I wish it came in more colors (Baywatch red, anyone?!), but I’m definitely ordering it next year if this one doesn’t fit again! I’m 5’5” with a short torso, 200 lbs, 36DDD, and I ordered the 16W." — Leigh
Promising review: "I absolutely love this suit. It is so flattering and hides my mom belly very well. I am 5’3 and 160lbs and ordered a size M in regular length and it fits perfect. My only critique is that it’s a little bit hard to squeeze into the suit, which wasn’t a big issue for me. I love the way it looks and can’t wait to feel confident wearing it this summer." — Aubrey
Promising reviews: "Great product! I absolutely love this swim suit! very flattering for bigger girls! It held the girls in and let me enjoy beach activities with my family!" — Jazmin Schott
Promising review: “If you’re anything like me, you gave birth to your second child 2 months before the pandemic quarantine began, and you’ve spent the last year working from home while also full time parenting so prioritizing your physical wellbeing went out the window and the last 15 pounds of pregnancy weight remained on your waistline, but now you want to escape to an airbnb with a pool for the weekend and realize you have nothing but bikinis. This suit is perfect for you! Ok but more importantly, I’m 31 yo, 5’7, 150-155 pounds, more apple shape with most of my weight in my midsection. Boobs around 34D, but fluctuate between my baby needs to eat and deflated balloons. I got a size 10 and I’d say it’s perfect. In clothes I’m an 8 pants (some fit some don’t rn) and medium top. Flattering, not frumpy, love it!” — Alexandra47
Promising reviews: "Best bathing suit. I have this bathing suit in multiple colors. Great coverage for a mom of two in all the right areas" — Jeffrey McGettigan
"Flattering and cute. I haven’t worn a one piece in a long time, but after kids I wasn’t comfortable in a two piece. This suit fits perfect and hides the imperfections." — Jamie Pitzen
Promising review: "I am 5’4, 170ish pounds, and wear a size 6-10 defending on the brand. Love this! Definitely glad I got the medium coverage one, it’s still very sexy without being completely up my butt lol. Very flattering. I think I could have sized up to the large, but medium still fits." — Mikala
Promising reviews: "Love it! Also perfect for nursing. I wanted a bathing suit that I would be able to nurse my son in (without paying for a nursing bathing suit), bd this is perfect! It took me a bit to figure out how to tie it because the straps are super long - but you’re able to do different ties. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to a suit they can breastfeed in!" — Amazon customer
"This is great for having a one piece but It doesn't give that mom one piece vibe!! Love it!" — Conaty
Promising review: "It's so flattering, just buy it. I have been searching for a swimsuit for a month and haven't had any luck until I took a risk on this one. I gained a little weight and was looking for a one piece that was cute but didn't make me feel frumpy. I have a long torso and wasn't expecting it to fit because of that, but it was literally perfect. The sizing is accurate and it seems really well made. Accentuates curves but the material hides my mom pooch ???? Super cute and comfortable! I rarely review anything on Amazon, but I had to for this one!" — Jessica H.
