Fit guide

Find your fit.
Choose your coverage.

Every POST SWIM suit is made for all women — and designed with surgical scars in mind. Here's how to find the size that fits — and the coverage that feels like you.

Coverage is a choice. So is your size.

01

Measure

Four quick measurements with a soft tape. Takes about two minutes.

02

Match your size

Compare your numbers to our chart. Our current styles run true to size. A few earlier styles run one size small — we flag those on the product page, so size up there.

03

Choose your coverage

Pick the styles built for what you want covered — chest, back, tummy, or none of the above.

How to measure

Two minutes.
One soft tape.

Measure over bare skin or a thin layer. Keep the tape level and snug — not tight.

Bust

Around your chest at its fullest point (or straight across, if you're flat). Wearing a breast form? Measure with it in.

Band line

Directly under your chest, where a band would sit.

Waist

The narrowest part of your torso, usually just above your belly button.

Hips

Around the fullest part of your hips and seat, feet together.

Fit FAQs

Good questions

Which styles work if I'm flat?
What if I'm between sizes?

Our current styles run true to size, so go with the size that matches most of your measurements. A few earlier styles run one size small — if the product page says so, size up. Still unsure? Reach out and we'll help you choose.

Can I wear a swim form with my suit?

Yes. The Zoey Bikini Top has pockets made to hold our TruLife swim form, and the Lynn Tankini Top fits a smaller form.

Can I mix sizes on top and bottom?

Yes — our separates are sold individually, so you can choose a different size for each.

What if it doesn't fit?

Swap it for a different size — exchanges are free, with shipping covered both ways. You have 30 days from delivery to exchange or take store credit, or 14 days if you'd prefer a refund (refunds have a $7 return fee per order). Just email sales@postswim.com with your order number, or start it from your account. Suits need to be unworn and unwashed, with hang tags attached and the hygienic liner in place. Items marked Final Sale and orders using a discount of 30% or more can't be returned. Full details on our Shipping & Returns page.
