My Favorite Swimsuits for Diastasis Recti

May 18, 2020 By Lisa Mullen Leave a Comment

Finding a diastasis recti-friendly swimsuit is quite the treasure hunt. Finding one that’s both cute AND flattering? Now that’s a gem worth sharing! If you have DR (or simply want a suit that’s mom-friendly yet stylish) check out these swimsuits perfect for diastasis recti I recently fell in love with!

Summer is nearly here, and that means — ready or not — swimsuit season is almost upon us. Do you have a swimsuit you love?

I never thought I would EVER say this, but I love the swimsuits I got a few months ago (for a pre-shutdown getaway).

I’ve never been a fan of swimsuit shopping, but after three babies — two of which left me with considerable diastasis recti (that I’ve significantly improved but not quite eliminated) — finding a flattering one is like ugggghhh.

Tummy-baring two-pieces are a definite no for me, but most one-pieces highlight the tummy bulge. And flowy muu-muu types are not my cup of tea. (Plus, all that loose fabric simply floats to the surface once in the water…)

What’s a relatively young(-ish) momma who wants to be covered but still look cute to do??

After doing some research and trying out a few different styles, I finally found a couple of different styles that fit the bill.

I love how both of these suits cover and camouflage without looking like a granny suit. (No offense to all you grannies out there.) And I LOVE how good they both make me feel. I didn’t even think that was possible in a swimsuit!

If you have diastasis recti — or are simply looking for a “mom-friendly” suit that covers in style — here are a couple of diastasis recti-friendly swimsuits that worked for me!

My Favorite Swimsuits for Diastasis Recti


Swimsuit #1 — Tankini Two-Piece

Diastasis-Friendly Swimsuit #1 | Swimsuits for Diastasis Recti

I LOVE how the cinched style of this tankini loosely covers the tummy without being flowy. This was exactly what I was looking for. And it’s SO STINKIN’ CUTE!

It’s the perfect swuimsuit for diastasis recti. (P.S. It would also be good for early pregnancy!)

I was a little worried that with my extra-short torso, the tankini part might not fit correctly, but it’s fine.

A word of warning, however — the bottoms that come with it are definitely not full coverage, so unless I’m with my own family at home, I will probably wear them with something else (I have a swim skirt like this one that I love). 

Also, depending on how *ahem* blessed you are up top, you might want to size up.

Swimsuit #2 — Polka Dot One-Piece

Diastasis-Friendly Swimsuit #2 | Swimsuits for Diastasis Recti

I’m a big fan of polka dots, so I was immediately drawn to this one. And it’s just as cute (if not cuter!) on. The ruffles camouflage my residual diastasis bump perfectly.

Cute + flattering? Yes, please!

As with the tankini, the only drawback is that the bottoms are not as “full coverage” as I had hoped. With a bottom that’s a little more well-supplied than the top ;), I run into that problem all the time.

I did, however, still feel comfortable enough to wear it around other people. But if that’s a big concern for you, you may want to size up.
