In the scheme of things, G cup is neither a big cup nor a little cup. When you consider our bra sized swimwear starts at a D cup, then G cup is way up the scale, but compared to JJ cup swimwear, then a G cup is not so big. Whether you consider a G cup big or little, there’s one thing that’s for sure – when you lift and support your G cup bust, you lengthen your torso, and accentuate your waist. The result? You don’t look frumpy, you look like a curvaceous, glamorous beauty with envious proportions!
So what’s the best way to lift and separate your G cup beauties? At this size you are spoilt for choice with a great range of G cup bikinis, tankinis and swimsuits at Storm in a D Cup. But before start, there’s a few questions you need to ask yourself. Firstly there’s a question of straps. In a G cup fitting, you’ll find lots of options -you can choose to go strapless or wear a halter-neck. You could wear this style if you are a size 6G, 8G, 10G, or 12G. In a size 14G, 16G or larger, the bust starts to become heavy on the neck in a halter-neck bikini. In a strapless bikini style, the bust can start to fall or look like a sausage unless you have wide enough shoulders to carry it off. The most comfortable of all the strap styles has got to be straight over the shoulder. Some women say that this looks too much like a bra, but this style has been growing in popularity over the last 10 years.
The next question you’ll have to ask yourself is whether you want a moulded, padded or non-moulded style. (This can get a bit confusing because some moulded cups are padded and some padded cups are not moulded!) Your decision has nothing to do with your size and everything to do with your shape, which can be affected by so many things, like your genes, your age, and if you have breastfed etc. A lightly padded top, like the sweetheart styles in Freya Swim, will enhance your cleavage if you are already full busted. If you are not so full at the top of your bust, a moulded cup can give you a perky shape. If you moulded cup has a little padding in it, then not only will it give you a great shape, it will also give you a lift. The padding is so thin in G cup swimwear, it’s only a few millimetres, so won’t add a lot of bulk. The best styles for non-padded and non-moulded bikini and tankini tops are to be found in Freya Swim, Fantasie Swim and PrimaDonna swim.
Once you have decided on the style of cup and strap you’re after, the last thing you need to decide is how much skin you want on show. All combinations of straps and cups are available in a G Cup in a tankini, bikini or swimsuit, so it’s totally up to you.
A bikini is the most comfortable to wear and easiest to put on. Take a look at Freya bikinis, there are so many options and styles available. A tankini is great if you want the coverage of a swimsuit and the convenience of a bikini (especially when going to the loo!). Tankinis are also great when there is large difference between your top and bottom size (great if you are an apple shape or a pear shape). Then you can get one size for your top and a different size for your bottom. Our range of Fantasie tankinis will help there.
A G Cup swimsuit is a great option when you’re looking for a complete solution, and these can be in patterns and styles that are waist slimming, and can even offer tummy control. Our range in PrimaDonna Swim and Elomi Swim offer fantastic styles to choose from in amazing prints. Once you’ve chosen the style you like, your only question is how skimpy do I want my briefs to be or do I want a sarong!
