I'm a midsize mum and tried the BEST high street suck-in swimsuits
'This costume offers a lot of support, but the underwired cups don’t fit my bust', says Samantha Riley, 52.

BEST RUCHING DETAIL
2/5
I love the criss-cross detail and the colour is perfect for summer. I think I’ll be buying this.

MOST CLEVER CUT

It has a lot of structure and support. I would never believe it was George, it feels more high-end and expensive.

BEST BUST BOOSTER
4/5
The ruching works wonders on my silhouette. It gives me more confidence and I'm less conscious of my stomach.

BEST TUMMY TRICK

It covers the whole bust and the top of the thighs but doesn’t really do it for me.

I don't feel there is much shaping in this one. It does have lightly moulded cups, and for £12 I wouldn’t expect any more.

I don’t feel it has much tummy support, especially as it's supposed to hold and sculpt your figure.
