If you've followed me for a while, you know that I am a huge fan of Spanx — so when I saw them drop their new swimwear, I had to try it! Even though I am super grateful that Spanx gifted me these pieces to try out, please know that this is not a paid campaign and all my opinions are 100% my own!

If you see some pieces you love and want to try for yourself, remember you can use code ASHLEYDXSPANX for a discount on any full-price items at checkout!

Now let's dive in!

As a reminder, I am 5’8, wear a 42DD in bras, typically a standard 18W but sometimes a 20W, usually a 2X, naturally high-waisted, and have an apron belly.

bikini top (2x) | high rise swim bottom (2x)

Wearing a 2X in these bottoms and they fit amazing. They give a little bit of support. If you’re in between sizes it’s not gonna hurt you to size up. The top is a 2X as well and think I would prefer the size up. It is a super supportive top though like for real this is one of the most comfortable swim tops I’ve ever put on.

Swim shirt (2X) | bikini top (2x) | high rise swim bottom (2X)

For this next look, I just kept the same bikini on and added this white swim top in a 2X. I feel like it's hard to find a lot of really cute rash guards or swim shirts especially in plus sizes. I love how cute this is with the little peplum cut. It runs true to size and I am so excited to have this in my swim collection!

And here is the same swim shirt in black! LOVE.

longline swim top (2x) | high rise swim bottom (2x)

Up next, I tried this longline swim top that's almost like a shorter tankini length with a very slight peplum cut. It is SO cute but I do think I need the size up from a 2X to a 3X to feel my best. So if you're shaped like me, I recommend sizing up!

This skort is so supportive and cute! I got it in the 2X and think it fits true to size!

short sleeve one piece (2x)

This short sleeve one piece legit took my breath away. I did not anticipate loving it as much as I do. The back is ADORABLE. The length of the suit is actually long enough for my torso/belly to be completely covered. If I did size up to the 3X it would just be to have a little less cleavage going on.

plunge swim dress (2x)

Last but not least, I tried this swim dress out! I get so many comments and DMs asking for good swim dress recommendations for folks who want some extra leg coverage, and I think this one knocks it out of the park. I think the way the back is cut on this one is so cute and a little sexy while still feeling modest. Just like all the other suits, this one is so supportive as well, and I love that they included ties on either side of the skirt so you can make sure it doesn't fly up in the wind or water! Same as with the last on piece, I could size up to the 3X just for some extra cleavage coverage, but I like th look of the 2X, personally!
