Going to the beach as a new mom is terrifying. It doesn't matter how body positive she is, when it comes time to slip on the least amount of clothing she'll ever wear in public, I can guarantee it is a vulnerable feeling. It has less to do with shame, and more to do with "debuting" a forever-changed body. New moms are always at a crossroads of getting used to their new figure and truly owning it in every way. So when we find something that several moms of several body types absolutely love, we have to share.
Introducing the B2prity Women's One Piece Monokini, the beloved Amazon swimsuit that promises to fit US sizes 4 to 20.
Available in 25 different patterns and colors, this monokini functions as a sexy halter top that can be tied two different ways. The ruched sides offer tummy control/support, and the open back comes up high enough to cover "back fat."

Many reviewers candidly admittedly they got way more than they expected with their purchase.

"I NEVER look good in swimsuits. But I thought that I’d give this one a chance based on other reviews from women that had already bought it. I was blown away at how beautiful this made me feel."
People claimed the suit was perfect for coverage and comfort.
"I love love love it," exclaimed reviewer Margaret Watkins. "I purchased a large. I love the fit, love the coverage, love the quality of material, and the print is super cute! My favorite suit I’ve ever bought to date! I’m even going to buy more in other colors I love it that much!"
Most importantly, moms were all about the duality of having a cute suit that worked for their bodies.
"I had a baby 3 years ago and never got back to my normal size," wrote mom and reviewer Zinnia E. Satour-chraa. "I have been searching for a bathing suit that fit and wasn’t black! I am 5’2 a 38GG-H bra and a size 14/16 pant size. This is beautiful and I will buy more!"
Even nursing moms couldn't help but sing this suit's praises.
"I am so freaking happy I bought this suit," confessed user Stephanie. "It's so cute and well made. I've never bought a bathing suit without trying it on first, but after having a baby I refused to torture myself by going to a store to try some on. This suit hugs my curves in all the right places and hides the last bit of mommy belly I have left. I'm still nursing and the chest area covers my bits with fabric to spare so I don't have to worry my breast will fall out. There is no support in the bra part but it makes my boobs look good so I don't mind at all. I am so excited about wearing this suit! I will be buying more for sure. Color is exactly the same as pics. Price is unbeatable."
Though there was one chief complaint about the suit...
Apparently the padding in the breasts can be a little hard to wrangle, especially for women with small breasts. However, many said it was easily fixable by popping them out.
Happy shopping and swimming!
