Jump in the water without anything jumping out.

As a BuzzFeed Shopping editor, my goal is to find all the products actually worth buying.

Having trouble finding a swimsuit that doesn't have a thong or plunging neckline? Those are great styles, but sometimes you need something that can withstand a crashing wave or an active beach game. Check out these tankinis, swim dresses, and rash guards for extra protection. 

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Promising review: "This is the BEST swimsuit I've ever had. It's comfortable and looks good. The shorts don't wedge up my butt, I don't have to constantly adjust my top to keep from falling out, and I don't feel like I'm being squeezed by a juicer in my stomach area. Material is thick and consistent with what a swimsuit should feel like, and not cheaply made. I'm so so so pleased." —ARS

Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes S–6XL and in 24 styles)

Promising review: "I love this suit so much! The shorts are just perfect, it’s sporty, flirty, and fun! So good for swimming and days you don’t wanna be uncovered." —Anna

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors).

Promising reviews: "This swimsuit is the PERFECT hot pink swimsuit! It had great coverage and felt very supportive. It was super comfortable when I tried it on. The top had a good stretchiness to it, but the bottoms weren’t as stretchy." —Taytay

"I am someone who has a really hard time finding suits that make me feel confident. This suit has enough coverage, but not too much for me. I feel like my chest is supported with or without the removable straps. Love that the top is wide, so it really just holds everything together. If you’re like me and those cheeky suits turn into a thong on you as soon as you start moving around, this suit will provide you enough coverage without being 'full coverage.' I would recommend!" —Isabella Stubbs

Get it from Amazon for $32.28+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors/prints).

Get it from Eloquii for $74.99 (available in sizes 14–28).

The set comes with a top, pants, and a swim cap. The reviewer pictured is wearing their own head covering. 

Promising review: "Gorgeous and versatile! I was finally able to be comfortable at the beach and comfortable walking around town afterward while on vacation in the Caribbean. Dries fairly quickly! Does not excessively weigh you down when wet. Sand washes off easily. The turban stays on! It is form-fitting because of the material, so if you prefer looser clothing, consider ordering a size up." —A.Nobody.Somebody

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and four colors).

Promising review: "Purchased this suit for vacation and it did not disappoint! Extremely comfortable, fit true to size, and the skirt was such a fun added detail. The suit held up through several washings and trips to the beach and pool, and still looks like the first time I wore it. The adjustable straps are a nice feature as well, providing more or less support when needed. I am highly considering buying this in more colors because I love it so much." —Shelby Anderegg

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 25 colors/prints).

Promising review: "As a curvy mom at a water park, I have to say this has been a real game changer! I have never been more comfortable, secure, or OK with walking clear across the water park without chafing. No worries, someone will see that one patch I didn’t get to shave. After a body slide, I could get up at any angle without fear. Most of all, absolutely zero chafing, which has been very painful in the past. I could spend my energy with my family and not worry. The color patching gives great definition and draws the eye. I would buy this suit 1,000 times over." —M.L.

Get it from Amazon for $36.97+ (available in sizes S–5X and 33 colors).

Promising review: "I have been apprehensive to buy a new swimsuit because shopping for clothes is the bane of my existence, nevermind bathing suit shopping. WELL, I am here to tell you that this swimsuit is worth every penny. It fits perfectly, is comfortable, holds my bust in securely, and actually looks amazing without spilling out. The material is great, it has some thickness but not too thick. Simply impressed and highly satisfied. So much more that I may even buy in more colors. If you’re on the edge, DO IT. Get this swimsuit!" —Kimberly

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes L–5X and 12 colors). 

Promising review: "I ordered a lot of long-sleeve suits for snorkeling and stand-up paddle boarding purposes, and was starting to feel defeated as one after another was a bust. Either too baggy in weird places like arms and bum, weird patterns that emphasize my least favorite areas, too stretchy, or not stretchy enough. This one was just right, and also the most affordable! It's nice and stretchy, but has enough firmness to have good rebound and not be saggy anywhere. The pattern/color is not obnoxious, and the lines look nice on me. A lot of plus-sized clothing is geared toward pear-shaped, full-hipped, smaller-waisted goddesses, which I am not. And yet, I'm still very satisfied. Hopefully it performs well too!" —PlumBlossom

Get it from Amazon for $23.03+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 34 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "The swimsuit fits great, really good coverage with the long sleeves. I didn't have to worry about getting sunburn. Great colors and love the built-in bra. I wore this on a snorkeling tour, and it was perfect." —M.

Get it from Boden for $149 (available in sizes 12–22, six colors, and two lengths). 

Promising reviews: "Plus-size babes: Buy it now! This swimsuit fits and feels great! Great support, in my opinion, for the chest. This swimsuit fits comfortably and is supportive! The color is very bright and vibrant, and the zipper stays in place wherever you pull it up (or down). The cups in the front are built in, so you might think they wouldn't give much support, but they keep your breasts together for big chests. Material is soft and stretchy. Looks like a rash guard but much cuter. The arm area may be a little tight if you have bigger shoulders (I do), but I can still move around comfortably. For all of you plus-size babes that might be thinking about this suit, get it!!" —Dustey

"The quality of this bathing suit is amazing. It is very soft and comfortable. The zipper stays put wherever you zip it up. It has built-in pads that cannot be removed, but it was comfortable for me. The pattern is very pretty." —Rose

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors/prints).

The listing says handwash, but reviewers had no problem machine washing. 

Promising review: "This swimsuit is beautiful. It's been YEARS since I've been able to find a swimsuit that I feel comfortable in. I love how beautiful it is while still being modest. It's very nicely made and very comfortable to wear. Being a 'well-endowed' girl, I also feel very supported wearing this without any additional support. I highly recommend it!" —Kathy Ann Koletas

Get it from Amazon for $38.95 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 37 colors and prints).

Promising review: The tankini fits beautifully. Trying on suits is a nightmare, and I was shocked to find that this one fit perfectly. I rarely find clothes on Amazon that fit well enough to keep, but I was short on time and gave it a shot. Coverage is generous. The halter top looks great and is not too low cut. I was able to adjust the straps for the ultimate fit, and the shorts are snug enough to stay up without being tight. If it wears well in the water, I think I will get another one." —karen c

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, 18 Plus–24 Plus, and 32 colors and patterns).

Get it from Manava: the top for $35 (available in sizes XXS–XXXL and four colors) and the bottoms for $22 (available in sizes XXS–XXXL and five colors). 

Promising review: "I’ve been shopping for bathing suits and couldn’t find any modest styles that sufficiently cover my lower torso. This suit makes me look good. Very comfortable, stylish, and practical. I love it!" —Franco68

Get it from Lands' End for $82.99+ (available in sizes 2–18, four cup sizes, five lengths, and 15 patterns). 

Promising review: “I tried several swimsuits by the Daci brand, and while they were all pretty good, this one knocked it out of the park. Daci swimsuits generally have good support, and many are built so you can tighten the 'band' of the built-in bra. This was unquestionably the best in that area, though. The way it’s built gives excellent lift, and the skirt is an empire-waist style. It’s cute and flirty while dry. And when it’s wet? Then it’s downright sexy. I ducked into the shower to test this once I was pretty sure this was the one I wanted, and I may have then spent about five minutes in front of the mirror, grinning ear to ear. Total win; this is coming with me on vacation, no question.” —Emily Ravenwood

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in M–30 Plus and three colors).

Promising review: "The cut is perfect. The fabric is amazing. The color is gorgeous. Fits like a glove. Wish I could have one in every color." —Free People Customer

Get it from Free People for $128 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors).

Promising review: "My best friend recommended this suit, and I am frankly shocked at how good it looks! The top is lined and I find the cups supportive, but haven’t worn it outside so can’t speak to the sun protection aspect. The bottoms have some tummy control which feels nice and supportive without squishing. I had a C-section several months ago, and these bottoms help smooth things a bit. I wish the bottoms were cheekier, but otherwise this suit is perfect!! I’m so relieved to have a comfy, unexpectedly sexy swimsuit which isn’t too 'momsy' but will stand up to tiny baby hands trying to rip it off me in the water." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4–20 and nine styles).

Promising review: "I have this bathing suit in three colors. It is a great bathing suit for the money! I always get compliments on it, and people want to know where to buy one. The legs don't ride up. The bust is well-padded. Suits have held up well. The solid black one is my favorite, followed by the black polka dot one. Classic Hollywood vintage movie star look. So nice to have my rear end covered, and as a plus, you don't have to worry about shaving your bikini line. I'm back to order suit #4 in red." —K. Moore

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XXS–22 Plus and 10 prints).

Promising review: "This bathing suit is phenomenal. I love the color — it’s even better in person. The texture is ribbed and your typical bathing suit material. The fabric is thicker than cheaper bathing suits, so it’s great quality. I personally love the support the top has for the ladies, and the coverage is optimal. Extremely great for swimming, kayaking, and the top itself is so cute to wear outside with shorts. Will be purchasing more!" —MrsBrownLee

Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 30 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Such a cute swim dress! Also love that there is full coverage!" —anonymous

Get it from Old Navy for $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and 11 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "Super cute and modest swimsuit for those looking for great coverage! The bottoms fit really nicely without being too small or too big. I do feel like this swimsuit was made pretty well and may last more than one or two summers. And the price was really good for what you get. Definitely getting more." —Cheyenne

Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18 colors).

Promising review: "Really liked the look of it, but wasn’t sure how it would fit. It is such a good fit. I like the coverage; it’s not scratchy or super cheaply made either. Pleasantly surprised by this item." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $34.19+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 24 colors/patterns). 

Get it from Lane Bryant: the top for $45.50 (available in sizes 14–30 and two colors) or the bottoms for $27.49+ (available in sizes 10–30 and five colors).

Promising review: "I love playsuits, jumpsuits, etc, so when I saw this one come up in this hot pink hue, I had to have it. It just looks AMAZING. The color makes my skin tone look really tanned and toned, and it fits like a glove." —Xochitl E.

Get it from Left on Friday for $150 (available in sizes XS–XXL, nine colors, and two lengths). 

Promising review: "Surprised by how cute this was in person! Fabric and fit were great. I’m six months postpartum and typically need a longer torso, but this fit true to size with ample coverage on the bottom. Built-in cups worked well for me, but if you prefer without, take that into consideration!" —Brittany L.

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 31 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "The swimsuit is the best I’ve ever worn! It fits perfectly. The top is incredibly comfortable and soft. I tend to feel uncomfortable showing too much skin in public, so this swimsuit covers what I need it to. The top can be worn as a tank top as well!" —Prableen

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 13 colors).
