My husband bought his on Amazon, I think it was this brand. It goes up to a 5x.

This one is a bit more expensive, but goes up to a size 8x.

I absolutely love mine! I've got a long-sleeve half-zip style with a high neck and I don't have to worry about sunburnt cleavage!

I love swimming and it's a great source of exercise, but I wish I had my own pool. I refuse to use a public pool as I do not like people staring at me with all my fat hanging out. Also the reason I will not use a public gym. Prefer to exercise at home where nobody can see me. I'm very self conscious.

A couple of years ago, I switched to swim capris and a rash guard because I'm paranoid about sun burns. Best choice ever for me -- you might see if it works for you -- it's as covering as normal clothes but you can still move around/quick dry etc. way better than when I would wear a T-shirt over my swim dress!

I discovered knee-length swim shorts and they were amazing for my self-esteem! I have very wobbly upper thighs and that's the body part I'm most self-conscious about. These have a built-in panty and they're super comfortable, I highly recommend them.

I wear them with a rash guard and a normal sports bra, which is nice because I know the top half of my swimsuit will fit. :)

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely have to try those! I'm also prone to getting sunburn being a red head and fair skinned so an added bonus!
