    Looking for some advice...I am less-than-busty. Very much so. As in, I can barely fit an A cup. I have a top that I made (well, okay, kinda. It got left out in the backyard for a long time and is currently covered in dirt...and algae. Oops lol) on a bra that was actually one of my sisters' that got left behind when they moved out. It's small, an A, I believe. It has lions paw shells. Pretty average. But when I swim, water will rush in and it's tiny-boob-a-palooza when the water pulls the top away from my chest. I have it tied up with netting and double knot it and make it tight enough that it actually hurts my neck.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this? Add more stuff around the shells so more of my chest is covered? I never thought having TINY boobs would be a problem. :|
    Do you want this anemone to sting you?
    ......yes!

    Syd, maybe add netting that goes over the center of the top? Like a bandeu top?

    I would make sure you have the correctly sized bra first! My bras used to gap a bunch on the top. But when I got correctly measured and figured out sister sizing, bras magically started to fit. I'm not sure if that'll solve everything, but it may help a little!

    I always get worried about this as well. It is hard to find swim tops small enough for me sometimes - but especially in the past. I haven't tested my top out in the water yet, but I think it will stick to me well. I was thinking though that if I do have issues, I will use a sports bra. I really think a sports bra will hold on tight to you and you won't have to always be looking down to make sure your top is not gaping open when you bend over or swim, etc. I know how you feel though. I have put on a top, gotten in the pool, then had to tie it much tighter and constantly worry about it. I hate wearing a one piece though so I know that that is not always a fun option.

    I am sure that you can make a sports bra look very pretty with shells, fake seaweed, etc. I hope this helps!

    I have the same problem! Lol I actually now use the gell adhesive inserts ie. Fake Boobie. It helps add that extra push and fills in the gaps's and if your bra still gaps no one can see the itty-bitty's

    Just purchase some close to your skin color.

    Do these stay on underwater?

    Mine still stick to me after five swims, now I do have my mermaid bra on top of it so it really doesn't have any place to go if it decides to not be as sticky.

    Wow, I thought I was alone with this problem! Thanks for all the responses! the bandeau thing sounds like a good idea..and like it can turn out to be really cute I'd definitely like to try those silicone things! They look comfy!
    I've always had issues with bras. Never had one that fit properly. I try to avoid wearing them as much as possible. Because freedom. Lol

    Run your measurements through this calculator: www.sophisticatedpair.com/bracalculator.htm

    Like a lot of others, I've had trouble for years and years finding bras that fit. Once I figured out my true size (and learned how bra sizes work), I've never had another issue
