Expert on Plus Size Maternity Swimsuits, Jen McLellan
We’re all about consulting the experts here at TCF, and here’s what plus size maternity clothing expert, Jen McLellan, Certified Childbirth Educator and founder of Plus Size Birth, had to say about the topic, “When purchasing plus-size maternity clothes, getting a supportive (and cute) swimsuit is a must! Beyond the blissful relief of weightlessness, swimming and water aerobics are fantastic ways to engage in joyful movement during pregnancy. So while your current suit might last longer than you expect, if it gets snug, size up or invest in a maternity suit.” – Jen McLellan,

Tips for Shopping for Plus Size Maternity Swimsuits
- Two Pieces are Better Than One! While we love a plus size one piece swimsuit, it’s probably going to be easier to find a swimsuit you love (at plus size brands that don’t carry maternity!) if you get a two piece swimsuit, where the bottoms are a different size than the top! (As shared above, we love the TorrId plus size swim bottoms made with POWER MESH!)
- Shop Secondhand! From talking with my besties who have been pregnant, they really regret not checking websites like Poshmark or Mercari to find gently used (or even NWT) plus size maternity clothes. New moms and new parents will often sell their pieces once they have their baby!!
- BIKE SHORTS! While they won’t last as long in chlorine water (they’ll probably wear out faster than actual swimsuit fabric), you can definitely wear plus size bike shorts for a bit more support! I definitely recommend checking out Yitty’s bike shorts! <3
