I first discovered Youswim in 2023. A friend I met when we were both new moms had the Youswim Poise swimsuit in black and raved about wearing it throughout her pregnancy all the way up to the week before her son was born. After she gave birth, she continued to wear the one-piece more than any other suit — even while breastfeeding — as her body changed and adjusted. Her high praise was one of the things that prompted me to test crinkle swimsuits from five different brands, including the Poise from Youswim. Since then, the brand has remained a favorite of stylish women looking for comfortable and forgiving swimwear that stretches to meet bodies at their current size rather than compressing them into something tighter or smaller.
