At a time when you’ve got to think about the increasing cost of having a baby and raising a child, one pressing thought is how you achieve a suitable maternity wardrobe that won’t break the budget, especially when such items will only fit for a few months … won’t they?

When it comes to weight loss after pregnancy, we all want to be the next Heidi Klum and have our pre-pregnancy body back before we blink. But in reality, the saying ‘nine months on, nine months off’ is more realistic.

So most maternity clothes are going to fit you for anywhere up to eighteen months, which makes it more important to choose the right items when shopping, and to invest that bit more to make sure you get clothes that you want- after all, you could be in them for over a year!

But when it comes to Maternity Swimwear, you could be in them for even longer.

Maternity Swimwear is unique in the swimwear market, as it is the only type of swimwear that is designed to be flattering to an ever changing body shape.

Most designs of maternity swimwear have elasticated or tie sides which means that, even after you have lost your maternity weight, there are still some designs you can continue to wear and, due to the comfort level of these designs, that you will want to keep wearing. The most ideal of these is the maternity tankini.

 Having a baby changes a womans stomach more than any other part of your body and items such as the maternity tankini from Blooming Marvellous really help.

With it’s tie sides, you are able to let the stomach grow whilst you are pregnant, and then shrink again as you get back to your normal shape. The ties are so effective that, even if you do achieve the washboard stomach you always dreamed of, the tankini will shrink with you back to your normal size and you can continue to use it for years after the baby is born.

So when you are looking for your maternity swimwear, make sure it’s something you like and will use, as you may want to be in it for a lot longer than you think!
