This inclusive swimsuit company fits their designs on their employees instead of fit models — 5 of us tried them and they fit each of us incredibly well

It's truly unfortunate how few bathing suit brands actually take into consideration the fact that the average US woman's cup size is a 34DD. I'm only a 34C and often don't feel properly supported in bathing suit tops, but that certainly wasn't how I felt in Helen Jon's Retreat top (which I also got in the "fatigue" green color). In fact, it was quite the opposite. I could really move around in this top without fear of it wriggling out of place and revealing too much for my liking. Plus, I'm all about a good V-neck silhouette.

The Retreat top paired with the Tab-Side Hipster bottom is the perfect mix of style, support, and comfort for the beach this summer. I echo the sentiments of my fellow testers entirely — the icing on the cake is that these cute one-pieces and bikinis aren't overly expensive.

Buying swimsuits online is fraught with peril for any woman, but if you have a large cup size like I do, it's even harder. Helen John's swimwear collection made it super easy for me to choose a swimsuit that would fit because there are tops specifically designed for D/DD women like me.

The D/DD cup twist underwire bra bikini top fits me perfectly, offers excellent support, and looks exactly like a normal bra under clothing when you're en route to the beach. The Slimmer hipster bottom I chose also fit perfectly and was comfortable. I swam in the Atlantic Ocean and ran around on the beach in this swimsuit without any problems. Plus, the suit dried fairly quickly afterward.

When I look for swimsuits, I look for support that doesn't come in something that looks like a waterproof balconette bra; it helps maintain the illusion that swimwear is different from underwear, and — most importantly — it impedes my movements less.

I picked the Lace-Back Bralette in the "indochine" print and Reversible Tunnel Hipster with braids in the "fatigue" green color. While not all the prints fit my aesthetic, I did like the indochine a lot. The real standout for Helen Jon, though, is how well the suit ticked off my concerns. It managed to feel sporty (i.e. you can climb around in it at the cabin), and it was supportive without adding bulk or staying lodged in place (i.e. it moves with you).

All in all, I really liked Helen Jon. The style I tried was comfortable, cute, and supportive without being bulky or restrictive — something I actively search for and rarely find to my satisfaction. The "laced" detailing on the back added just enough personalization and support, and I like that the bottoms will see many uses thanks to being reversible, even if I do wish there were more color options.

I generally have a really hard time with swimsuits. Aesthetically, I'm drawn to the one-piece styles that have very little support, like low scoop-backs or super low-cut fronts. Not great for someone with a DD chest, to be honest. I was attracted to this style because it was just sexy enough while still promising a good amount of support thanks to the seam under the bust.

I got the "fatigue" green color for something different since I usually opt for black. Wearing it on the beach, I felt covered and secure, but not at all suffocated or overly conservative. When I got home, I actually lounged around in it for a few more hours because it was just that comfortable! I would literally never do this with any other bathing suit I own.

The one thing I would have appreciated was the option to buy petite sizes because the torso was a tiny bit long for me (I'm just over five feet tall), but that definitely wasn't a deal-breaker given how well everything else about the suit fit.
