Why do plastic fasteners on bikini tops break?

So I guess one of the first signs that I won't be able to wear the swimsuits I purchased last year was when I busted out of my top while DH and I were in the car going to the beach. Luckily I had a sundress on and I go forgo the swimsuit top, but I'm miffed that the plastic fastener broke.

So....should I go back to the store and buy a larger size? Or try to sew some fabric to my old top? Or just buy a one piece?

I'd look silly in a maternity swimsuit this early, but my parents are coming down from Jersey next weekend and I want to go to the beach.

Thoughts? Other funny stories of bikini top malfunctions?

Re: Why do plastic fasteners on bikini tops break?

  • OMG!!! That's horrible...I'd def just buy a bigger size top.  Maybe you can go for a solid color.  You can find them at target and old navy so you won't have to spend too much money on it. 

    To tell you the truth...I'm afraid to see what the girls would look like in my reg bikini b/c they have grown. I think this summer I'm sticking to going into my pool...don't want any oops happening in public.

  • I've already started looking for a new bathing suit for when I'm there in August. I don't think my current bikini's could handle all of this. LOL 
  • That stinks! Perhaps you can find little replacement ones? I would probably just go get a larger size, just so that your comfortable. Victoria's secret is actually having a pretty good sale right now on swim suits.
  • how funny! I actually posted about my bikini top malfunction in a poll here last week, lol. But yeah, it happens! I think I might buy bigger tops, since I don't like 1 piece suits.
  • Isn't it amazing how the girls grow first in pregnancy?!

    That's the best part about being pregnant. I can't wait to finally get some ta tas!

  • I coudln't tell you, b/c I've never worn a bikini a day in my life. However, in regards to maternity bathing suits, they do have 2 pieces, and they do stretch (or don't stretch); basically they are just tank tops and bottoms.

    Claire...I hate to break it to you, but I thought I was finally going to get some ta tas, and never did.  Not to say that you won't, but I wanted to let you know that it's not a guarantee.

  • I'm sorry your top broke! That stinks.

    My girls are big enough already. I'm a little scared how big they might get.

  • Gena, that's so true, it happened to my cousin, she was so happy to get a natural enhancement, but then she claimed her babies sucked the life out of them when she breast fed! lol
  • Good to know.  Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my fingers crossed.  I'll make sure to take lots of pictures in case they deflate.
  • I didn't love any of the maternity bathing suits.  I was brave enough and just bought a new bikini in a larger size and wore it all summer with my big belly.  My girls grew the most in the beginning and then it was just the belly.  You should be find just buying a bigger bikini.
