As much as I have loved going to the beach and pools over the past couple of weeks, my ever-growing belly is just not fitting into anything that doesn’t have the word “maternity” or “stretch” linked to it. We have fun plans for a water party tomorrow morning with the kids at a friends’ house, the beach is not even 30 minutes from our front door, and the outdoor pools on the base will be opening this weekend.
I knew that I wanted to find something cute and comfortable to wear swimming this summer, and Mermaid Maternity was the perfect fit (ha!) for all of my picky swimsuit needs — modest coverage, tankini top, boy short-style bottom, and no halter tops. While I’m not so concerned about having something to hold in my stomach this summer with the tummy tuk, I am definitely looking for some support while I’m playing with my two boys.
There are so many options for mixing and matching through Mermaid Maternity to make your own perfect maternity swimwear!
The founder of Mermaid Maternity tells customers in her About Us section, “I am not a bikini bottom person. I have always found swim shorts to be more comfortable and more flattering. When I became pregnant I looked high and low for maternity swim shorts and was stunned that I could not find any. I made the decision that when I was past the ‘new baby’ stage with my daughter and had more than 2 minutes of free time per day, I would create and sell maternity swim shorts.”
“In the spring of 2009, Mermaid Maternity was launched … with one product for sale. The swim shorts were a huge success, and since then many more maternity swimwear separates have been added – always with the same criteria in mind: comfortable, flattering, functional, and unique. Our mission is to give moms-to-be more OPTIONS in what they can wear at the beach or pool so that they will feel confident and comfortable in their swimsuit.”

I love the top of the Mermaid Maternity swim suit that I received, but I am really impressed by the swim shorts! I received the Maternity Swim Shorts in Black (shown above), and I loved that there was an insert inside to keep everything covered up while allowing for flowy shorts to keep cool in the warm weather. They are perfect for my growing belly from the first trimester to the third since the wide panel fits under my stomach.
