CUPSHE Plunge Neckline Cutout Criss Cross Swimsuit

This body has grown and birthed 3 babies, and while I am grateful and thankful for its service, I don’t necessarily want it flaunting those facts 😉
I’m 5’3”, 108 lbs and currently breastfeeding. I am wearing the XS.
My glutes atrophied while on bed rest with baby #2 and I just haven’t put in the work (read: squats!) yet to get those puppies back and firm. So, saggy bottom boys back there is just what I have to work with right now. I’ve really been in search of similar sad booties in review pics to try and find that magical bathing suit that gives the illusion of my old bubble butt. What I have learned from this experience, though, is that high waisted is NOT my friend on the back side. Minimal, cheeky, ruffled, low-cut, scalloped edges, and textured bottoms are what my booty thrives in. But after severe diastasis recti and a rather significant weight gain with baby #3, this momma isn’t ready for a two piece with those attributes.
So, after multiple monokini tries (where the top connects to the bottoms over the belly in the front only and looks like a two piece in the back), I realized those aren’t going to be practical for belly coverage when sitting or swimming.
But I’m not quite ready to go full-on one piece either.
So, that’s where this bad boy comes in! The front is flattering. So flattering! Tight across the tummy, semi-supportive of those pitiful, weak postpartum abs, sleek along curves, and the top can be adjusted on the straps to pull your boobs in close and snuggly or give them some breathing room!
The back, though. Meh. Not so flattering on my sad booty. It’s a compromise I’m willing to make for how killer the front fits and looks, though.
The clasp in the back for the top portion is fine. I’ve had several swimsuits with clasps like this. They get into an awkward position easily, but I’ve rarely had issues with them coming undone. And if it comes undone on this suit, you won’t have to worry about a runaway boob because the shape and design will hold the girls in while the straps take over the job of anchoring.
I don’t feel like this swim suit is going to budge going down our pool slide or when diving into the water or getting out for the thousandth time, and if it does, I will update this review!

***UPDATE***
After swimming in this suit, I do NOT recommend it for any type of swimming activities. I’ll wear it poolside or in shallow water to walk around in, but beyond that, it’s a bust for swimming, for me. The top slide down below my boobs when diving in or swimming aggressively. And the fabric actually gets tighter and clings to every nook and cranny when getting out of the water 🫣 Not something to wear around older kids FYI.

I love how unique and fun this bathing suit is! It’s the cheekiest bottoms I’ve ever worn, but it’s balanced by the coverage elsewhere. After having 2 kids, and still nursing the youngest, its hard to feel good in a suit, but I actually like the way I look in this. I ordered the green top with green white and black leaf pattern on the bottom. You cannot see through the white part at all. I ordered a medium as I always do with Cupshe and it fits great. I am 5’4, 140 lbs with a bit of mom tummy and bounce somewhere between a B and C cup due to breastfeeding. I can tell that this will be a good top for when my baby is weaned and my boobs inevitably shrink up. The colors are beautiful and as always in completely blown away by this brands quality for the price. The material, stitching, consistency in sizing…chefs kiss! Oh and also, super easy to pull a strap off your shoulder and pop out a boob for the baby. Basically this suit is everything and you need it in your life! Only thing is the inserts and a little small and flimsy this year and I plan on putting sturdier pads in them from an old suit. Not worth demoting a star for that.

It’s not too revealing shows off a bit of Tommy but not overly exposed still quite modest the fit is excellent with the right amount of stretching I also love the color green which is my fav

I ordered a medium because smalls usually hug me a little too tightly but I think I could have ordered a size small in this one. I ordered according to the size chart and while it still fits me well, it’s slightly too loose around the waste and bottom but it’s a gorgeous bathing suit! I’ve been wanting a cute one piece for a while now, so I can be active with my kids without my swimsuit having malfunctions and this is perfect! It’s modest, yet still sexy, good for active swimmers and it’s family friendly! It’s also very well made, with good fabric and elasticity, so I definitely recommend! I’ll be ordering a small to see which fit I like better on me. 🙂

I am so glad I purchased this super cute bathing suit. It is great quality and fits true to size. I was worried it would be tight so I originally ordered a medium but found it too big. I was able to easily return it and ordered a small. Love this suit. I get a lot of compliments on it. I love that it hides what I want it to hide and it is open at the right spots. Very flattering. Highly recommend this suit.

I love this suit so much I bought 3. I have a smaller upper body and have had little luck finding a one piece suit that fits top and bottom. This can be tightened so much that it fits amazingly everywhere. It makes me feel so good!
