Walmart can certainly be relied upon for stocking everything from household cleaning products to personal electronics. And while I have always known the retailer to sell apparel, I wouldn’t necessarily peg them as a top destination for swimwear.
After perusing Walmart’s online stock of swimsuits, I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of bikinis, one-pieces and fun swimming sets that I found there. And, just as I’ve come to expect of this big box store, the options were incredibly well-priced.
Uphead, shop some of the best-rated and most popular women’s styles currently available at Walmart, all available to you for less than $30 (with only one exception).
A crinkle fabric one-piece
Made from a stretchy crinkle fabric, this basic suit is a solid choice if you're in the market for a one-piece with a classic silhouette. It has a scoop neck and backline, a full-coverage backside and medium-width shoulder straps. You can find this in sizes XS-3X and seven colors.
A flouncy tankini
This flouncy tankini features a ruched tummy control bottom with a high waistline and a racerback padded top with adjustable straps that help keep you secure. There are over six colors and patterns to choose from in sizes S-2XL.
A plunging one-piece with a matching wrap skirt
Not only does $27 get you a great plunging V-neck one-piece, but this suit also comes with a matching pareo wrap, just in case you want to add a bit more modesty to the fuller coverage bottom half of this suit. The straps are wide and non-adjustable for moderate support and feature non-removable soft cups. It's available in three colors and sizes XS-3X.
A vintage-inspired one-piece

The halter top also has removable push-up padding for added support, while the adjustable ties provide lift. And if you find that most of your suits are too constricting around the hip, this suit features a boy-short style stretchy bottom for a fuller coverage fit that isn't restrictive on the thighs.
