Cupshe's most popular high-waisted bathing suit keeps you feeling cute and contained.

The highlight of this suit is the flattering wrap design across the bust. Adjustable shoulder straps and removable pads give you a personalized fit, while the high-waisted cut and long-line top offer plenty of coverage. It comes in women's sizes XS to XXL. Note that the brand recommends sizing up.

"I have to say that this is the best swimsuit I have ever worn," one of its 800-plus reviewers says. "It is so flattering and the quality is amazing. I usually am a XS but find that the small fits perfectly, so keep that in mind."

This solid suit from Madewell is a summer must-have.

If you're a different size on top than you are on the bottom, Madewell offers a large variety of swim separates. This balconette top features a sporty square neckline with a supportive band, while the full-coverage bottom sits high above your navel. Both pieces are made from recycled materials and come in women's sizes XXS to XXL.

“I love that the band is not that miserable, cinched-tight, muffin top elastic feel," one reviewer says. "It just sits on my waist comfortably. The lines of these bottoms really smooth the waist-to-hip transition. Can't wait to wear these on the beach!”

Even though it's camo, you're bound to stand out in this cool Athleta bather.

Inspired by Athleta’s activewear, the brand's high-waisted bathing suits are ideal for almost any activity, whether you’re swimming laps, surfing, or sipping something sweet by the pool. These board shorts hit at or just below the belly button and are long enough that you don't even need a coverup. Plus, the back pockets allow you to keep your belongings close. The matching camo top provides plenty of support and has an exciting pop of lime green at the back. Both pieces come in women's sizes XXS to XL.

“The bikini top is so comfy. It fits like a glove and it goes well with the Surge shorts,” one reviewer says. “I bought two sets because it's unique and just so flattering.”

7. This plus-size Walmart tankini

One reviewer calls it “a big yes,” saying, “This is an amazing bathing suit. It gives you a little extra room to breathe, is amazing quality, and is very comfy. I am in love with this bathing suit.”

Like their activewear, Lululemon swimwear dries quickly and tucks you in.

With this option, you get the best of both worlds: a high waist that shows off your hourglass figure along with a medium coverage backside for a cheekier look. The nylon/elastane material is lightweight and quick drying, and even has UV protection. Both the top and bottoms come in women's sizes XS to XL.

“This top is everything," one reviewer says. "I get plenty of coverage on all sides but still feel sexy with the plunge neckline. This is more than I'd normally spend on a swimsuit, but the fabric feels nice and smooth and the cups feel like they'll stay in place. Most importantly, I feel confident and secure in it."

10. This playful Modcloth bikini

Express yourself with Modcloth's bright and beautiful high-waisted bathing suit.

Whether you opt for rainbows and grinning sharks or thick colorful pinstripes, this size-inclusive bathing suit boasts a flattering high waist along with a trendy tie and cut-out at the chest. It also has both adjustable straps and removable padding so you can customize the suit to your liking. It comes in women's sizes XS to 4XL.

One person raves: "I love that it’s high waisted and full coverage. It seems like almost every high-waisted bottom is either cheeky, high-cut, or both, neither of which are comfortable for me whatsoever, so I’m very glad to have found this suit."
