I'm a 36DD & size XL and bought Amazon swimwear - the neon one-piece didn't hold me up but the tankini is so flattering

A MIDSIZE woman's Amazon swimwear haul revealed a sure-fire winner, with another following close in its heels.

But she committed to purchasing the tankini number only because it looked so "flattering."

Carina (@confidentlycarina) is a 36DD and usually a size 12/14. Her TikTok is dedicated to affordable fashion for the midsize lady.

There was some rejigging in the sizing, however, when it came to Amazon swimwear haul in one of her posts.

"I wear typically a large. I did size up because Amazon tends to run a little small," she warned her viewers.

First on was a neon pink one-piece in an XL, but she was not smitten – it didn't offer a whole lot of support.

“I like it but I don’t know if I love it," she admitted.

“So I love the color, love this mesh cutout, love this crossover. I don’t like that there isn’t a tonne of support," she said of her chest area.

"I just feel like there’s not a whole lot holding me up here."

Carina also felt there was little holding her stomach in either.

"I’m self-conscious of my lower belly, ever since I’ve had my daughter, it’s like a problem area. There’s no tummy control."

She thought it was a "cute" swimsuit, but not for her.

But the next one certainly was a tangerine-colored tankini, with extra details on the sides.

"The side ruching on this tankini is so flattering," wrote Carina, "and you can adjust it to make it longer or shorter. It has built-in cups and a tie halter neck."

There was a small issue with sizing, but that could be remedied.

“I’m wearing an XL but I think I could have done a L and there would have been a little more support because the top did have some extra room.

“I really like this tankini. You can pull it to make it more or less ruched. It gives you a really nice shape."

It gave good coverage of her tummy too.

“The bottom hits right at my belly button so it stops at a good spot. I think it is so flattering how it gathers a little and it covers my tummy which I am self-conscious of."
