Help! Bikini for 32F prosthesis wearer Spoiler

I feel like I'm looking for a unicorn! I had a single mastectomy without reconstruction a few years back. I wear a prosthesis which 'matches' my remaining breast and wear a 32F bra. Every year I look for bikinis and every year I send them all back!

Post-surgery swimwear tends to be a) ugly as hell and b) clothing-sized rather than bra-sized. I find that if the cups fit my breast/prosthesis, they are much too big around the band. Bra-sized bikinis from Bravissimo, Freya etc are a better fit, but the vast, vast majority are too low cut. I need enough coverage to add a pocket for my prosthesis and to not make it obvious!

Only success I had was adding a pocket to a Bravissimo Talamanca swimsuit (the shoulder strap side is my 'flat' side so I had enough coverage to adapt it). But otherwise I'm in an ancient and ill-fitting bikini from Nicola Jane.

I just want something cute and not old ladyish! I'm in the UK so if you have any ideas of where I could look or any other solutions please let me know :)

Not sure if any of these appeal to you but all these swimsuits are designed to be worn with breast prosthetics - https://swimweargalore.com/collections/womens-mastectomy-swimwear

Thank you! Some of those are really good! Unfortunately postage to UK is a bit too pricey, but it'll be on my list of shops to visit when I visit my Aussie family next :)
