Beach Ready: Maternity Swimsuit Essentials for a Comfortable Vacation
When the summer sun hits Toronto and the lakes call your name, it’s time to grab your flip-flops, pack your sunscreen, and pick a maternity swimsuit that works as hard as you do.
Because vacation doesn’t mean “pause.” You’re still carrying, walking, eating for two, and making memories. So, let’s make sure your swimwear helps you enjoy it all, without the constant tugging, adjusting, or settling for “good enough.”
This guide isn’t just about finding something that fits. It’s about choosing maternity swimwear that actually makes your beach day better, from splash to sunset.
Why Regular Swimsuits Just Don’t Cut It
You might think, “I can still wear my old bikini.” And hey, some mamas do! But as your bump grows, your body needs more room, more support, and more care.
Regular swimsuits:
● Don’t stretch the right way (hello, awkward belly squeeze)
● Offer no bust support (especially when your chest is changing daily)
● Slide, bunch, or ride up (which means you’re constantly fixing it)
Maternity swimsuits are made for your changing body. The fabric stretches with you. The designs help you feel secure. And best of all? You don’t have to sacrifice style to get it.
What Makes a Maternity Swimsuit “Vacation-Ready”?
Let’s talk about real beach needs. You’re not just lying on a towel for a selfie. You’re walking the shore, dipping into the water, maybe chasing your toddler, or just finding a comfy way to float and cool off.
Here’s what the best maternity swimwear should give you:
● Support in all the right places: Especially under the bust and around your belly.
● Breathable stretch fabric: So you don’t feel overheated or restricted.
● Secure straps and full coverage: Because tugging and slipping aren’t part of the fun.
● Stylish enough for photos: Because bump pics in a saggy suit? No thanks.
Now let’s go beyond features and show you what this looks like in real life.
Styles That Work From the Pool to the Patio
The best part about Seven Women’s maternity swimwear collection? It’s made to move with you, whether you’re swimming laps or sipping lemonade by the lake.
Here are a few fan-favorite styles to pack for your vacation:
1. Toscane Maternity Swimsuit:
The Toscane one-piece brings all-day comfort with a stylish twist. It features a princess neckline that beautifully frames your bump, wide crisscrossed straps that keep the back breezy, and subtle hip gathers highlighted by tiny gold-accented pearls. Built with stretchy, UPF50+ fabric, it moves with you from early days through the last trimester, all while looking effortlessly glamorous.
2. Bloom Maternity 2PC Bikini:
The Bloom Maternity 2‑Piece Bikini by Cache Coeur brings a flirty, bohemian edge to your beachwear with ruffled sleeve-like frills that gently drape your shoulders, a plunge neckline that highlights your collarbones, and a V‑cut back for an airy, open feel. It’s fully lined, with fixed cups providing gentle support, and a low‑waist brief that rests comfortably under your bump. This bikini is made from European UV‑protective fabric (UPF 50–80) and offers both style and safe sun coverage for moms-to-be.
3. Maldives Maternity Bikini:
The Maldives Maternity Bikini in Violet is a two-piece swimsuit that blends elegance and adjustability. It features a bandeau top with underwire and fixed cups, optional removable straps for a glamorous or secure fit, and low-rise bottoms, all rendered in a French fabric embroidered with delicate palm motifs and trimmed with pretty ruffles. Its UV-protective material helps keep you safe under the sun, while its compact design makes it a breeze to pack.
Swimwear That Grows with You (Yes, Really)
Let’s be honest. You don’t want to buy something that only works for two weeks. Good maternity swimwear should last your entire pregnancy, and maybe even postpartum.
That’s where Seven Women shines.
Many of our swimsuits are made with multi-trimester stretch, so they grow with your belly. You can wear them early in your pregnancy and still feel great in your third trimester.
Even better? A lot of styles double as nursing-friendly. That means when the baby's here and you're poolside again, your swimwear still works for you.
What Else Should You Pack for the Perfect Beach Day?
Now that you’ve got the suit, don’t forget these bump-friendly beach essentials:
● A flowy maternity dress for the walk to the beach or poolside lunch. Seven Women has beautiful styles that slip right over your suit.
● A wide-brimmed hat to protect that glowing skin.
● Non-slip sandals that are easy on your feet.
● A water bottle to stay hydrated.
● Mineral sunscreen that is safe for pregnancy.
Bonus tip? Always keep a lightweight towel or blanket in your bag for quick changes, lounging, or feeding breaks.
