Bombshells (Calling Big Boobs)

Bathing suit shopping is about SO much more then picking what your eye is drawn to.  

If you are even close to normal, you know the struggle of trying to work with what you’ve got when bikini shopping. Whether sitting with your measuring tape trying to guess what would fit online, or sneakily trying to mix match an XL top with a M bottom in the dressing room (we all do it) finding the right support, comfort, and style in a bathing suit is SO much easier said (and pictured) then done. 

For me, my hips are much smaller then my bust. For others, the opposite, and every combination in-between. Women come in all shapes and sizes and rarely fit in a conventional S/M/L. It’s categorizing and we aren’t about it! 

This post was created, because we normally advertise smaller suits, on smaller girls. Our signature style is the “Kai” cheeky bottom with the scrunch butt, and our models are usually athletic with smaller chests. But when navigating the salty (or chlorinated) waters of swimwear for top-heavy girls, it can be tricky and we understand! And after asking for feedback, paying attention to sales, and observing the lack of support in the swim suit industry for large busted girls- we can only imagine how tiring of a process it would be when working with D+ size boobs. 

What we don’t advertise as much, and what we DO offer are tops for larger breast sizes, with sizes that go up to XXXL! Whether hitting the surf, paddle boarding, or reading a book by the pool, we want your ladies to have as much support and comfort as a regular bra. 

Featured below are Kaikini’s three styles of plus sized tops, what they offer, and how they fit. We sell all of our suits separately, so you can mix and match bottoms with top sizes to get the perfect suit to fit your perfect proportion. These tops are offered in all sizes ranging from A cup to 34E.

Problem: Conventionally sized triangle bikini tops DON’T FIT.
Solution: The Sport Top


  • Fashioned after the classic sports bra, perfect for activities, doesn’t move around 
  • Simple silhouette leaves simple tan line.
  • Beaded cross back, ties in back, allows for tightening/loosening
  • Still offers cleavage, scoop neck
  • Offered in size Acup thru 34E

Problem: Flimsy straps offer no support
Solution: Ekolu top/ Adjustable Ekolu Top


  
  • Seamless front straps provide extra support with comfort
  • Six string keyhole back, adds style and allows for stretch 
  • Offered in sizes Acup thru 34E
  • Large elastic bottom band for added support
  • No ties (good for yoga, or sleeping in!)
  • Keep pressure off neck and allow for a little less coverage in front
  • Adjustable version is allows for custom fit

Problem:  Bikini tops tie at the neck and give me migraines
Solution: Pin Up Top



















  • Offers cross tie back for adjusted comfort
  • Thick strips prevent digging into shoulders
  • Looks like halter from front, but cross tied in back to lift pressure off shoulders
  • Shapes cleavage in middle scrunch for minimal coverage and added style
  • Offered in sizes Acup thru 34E

  1. Great info! Are you planning to make a beaded triangle top out of the same fabric as the new Hina painted palm bottom?

    1. I wish! We only had a few yards of the painted palm and we are unable to get more :( I've been on the hunt for something similar. Keep your fingers crossed!

  2. Hey..I looove your bikinis! I had a question tho. Do you guys customize bikinis as well? And do you guys only make two piece bikinis? It's really hard for me to find bikinis because im big at the top. But I have stretch marks from my pregnancies so I've been trying to find one pieces that would cover my top. I need someone to help me with it. If you are not able to help me, do you have someone you can recommend me to. Thanks(:
