Swimsuits with Padded Cups

Swimsuits with padded cups feature built-in or removable padding in the bust area to add shape, gentle support, and coverage. At Old Navy, this collection includes bikini tops, one-pieces, tankinis, and swim dresses designed to enhance your natural silhouette while keeping you comfortable.

Consider the level of support and coverage you want, then match it to a style: one-pieces and high-neck styles offer more coverage, while triangle and bandeau bikini tops give a lighter, more relaxed feel. Our padded cup styles come in a range of cuts and silhouettes, so you can find a flattering fit whether you prefer a halter, scoop-neck, or balconette shape.

This depends on the style. Some styles feature fixed padding sewn into the lining, while others include removable inserts so you can adjust the padding level to your preference — check the individual product details for each swimsuit.

You'll find bikini tops, one-piece swimsuits, and swim dresses, with details like triangle strings, halters, scoop necks, balconettes, and cinched fronts. Explore the full range of women's swimwear at Old Navy if you'd like to see more silhouettes and coverage options.

Padded cups offer gentle lift and shaping, and many styles pair the padding with features like adjustable straps, underwire, or elastic support for a more secure fit. If you want maximum lift, look for balconette or underwire styles within the collection.

One-piece swimsuits, high-neck styles, and swim dresses offer the most coverage while still providing shaping through the padded cups. These options work well if you prefer a more modest look that still flatters your figure.

A well-fitting padded cup top should sit securely against your chest without gaps at the cups or digging into your shoulders. Adjustable straps and secure closures help you fine-tune the fit, and the soft, stretchy fabric is designed to move with you while you swim or lounge.

These swimsuits transition easily from beach to brunch with a quick cover-up. Pair a padded bikini top or one-piece with your favorite shorts or a flowy skirt for a warm-weather look that comes together fast.

To keep the padding and fabric in good shape, rinse your swimsuit in cool water after each wear, hand wash gently, and lay it flat to air dry. Avoid wringing the cups or using high heat, which can affect the shape and stretch of the fabric.
