The perfect swimsuit should, ideally, boost your confidence, cover what you want covered and be easy to care for. If you ask me, the best way to check that last box is to get a swimsuit without those annoying removable pads that plague so many sports bras and bathing suits. They tend to come out in the wash, can migrate around inside your top and are often a hassle to stuff back into their rightful place.Luckily, there are some women’s swimsuits out there with sewn-in cups, so you never have to think about the padding at all. I scoured the Internet to find some of the best options for swimsuits with sewn-in pads that can take away this inconvenience so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying your time soaking up the sun and the water at the beach or pool.TargetA “tugless tank” one-piece with UPF 50 sun protectionLands’ End is one of the few brands that appears to make swimwear for real people, as evidenced by this “tugless tank” one-piece that’s chlorine- and sunscreen-resistant, comes with UPF 50 sun protection and is designed to stay put so you won’t be stuck constantly tugging at it. It also has full coverage on the bottom, comes in a huge range of patterns and sizes: four cup sizes up to DDD, sizes 2-18, and options for petite, plus, long torso and torso plus sizing. Oh yeah — and the cups are sewn in. This is about as good as it gets.P.S.: Use code LAZYRIVER to score a major discount on this and other Lands’ End products right now.AmazonA two-toned cutout one-piece if you want to show a little skinCan’t decide between a one-piece or two-piece? Get the best of both worlds with this swimsuit that has a cutout in the front and back. The straps are adjustable, and the wrap front ties in the back for a customizable fit. The suit is also made with tummy control. Despite the product title mentioning removable cups, the cups are sewn-in, as evidenced by the reviews. You can get this suit in a bunch of colorways and sizes XS-22 plus.Promising review: “Built-in pads!? Fully adjustable for tiny chests!? I am in Love! This swimsuit is absolutely adorable. The folded fabric is really flattering and it covers the bottom part of my tummy that was stretched out due to my twin pregnancy. The peekaboo skin makes it look less frumpy than other one pieces. The butt coverage is just enough. The straps adjust and it also has the tie…so it is actually really doable for multiple chest sizes. I couldn’t be happier!!” — Steez FamAmazonOr this vintage-style suit with a ruched midsectionThis suit’s square neckline and stretchy bust give it a flattering look, while the adjustable straps, sewn-in cups and full coverage bottom provide support. “Bra pads stay put!” one reviewer confirmed. “No need to fix them each time you put it on.” You can get this one in sizes XXS-24 plus and a bunch of different colorways.NordstromThis racerback tankini swim topIf you’re more of a two-piece fan but still like to have your stomach covered, you can opt for Calypsa’s Maya tankini top with a built-in bra. The tank has adjustable side ties (it’s meant to have a tighter fit), and UPF 50+ sun protection. I’m partial to the colorful striped design shown here, but it also comes in a solid burgundy or a blue tie-dye pattern. Yon can get it in sizes S-XL. Promising review: “Maya is a pretty top that feels great on. Perfect fit and support with the built in cups. The only top I will buy!” — CherieLands' EndA tie wrap V-neck one-pieceAnother Lands’ End option, this V-neck one-piece is also UPF 50 and chlorine-resistant. It has a functional side tie and, you guessed it, sewn-in cups. One reviewer said the suit “holds you in without squeezing the life out of you.” It comes in three solid colors and two cup sizes, and sizes 2-18 as well as options for petite, plus and long torso sizing.Again, use code LAZYRIVER to save yourself some money through July 28.NordstromA twist front bikini top with UPF 50 sun protectionBikinis may not cover as much skin, but this one can still provide a bit of sun protection, as well as support thanks to the sewn-in cups and side boning.

The top is available in sizes 4-24 and four colors; you can also buy matching high-waisted bottoms with a similar twist.NordstromThis classic sweetheart neckline one-piece with adjustable strapsEnjoy adjustable straps, built-in molded cups and a pretty sweetheart neckline with this one-piece that also has an underbust support band and side control panels.

Get it in sizes S-XL.Promising review: “Love my new swim tops. The padding is sewn in so won’t fall out. Fits well and supportive. Glad I bought 2!” — CarolynTrending In ShoppingMore In Shopping
