Funnily enough, this Freya bikini top runs rather tight (given how loose regular Freya bras tend to fit).
There's no way I could be comfortable in a 30 band.
Also, I found the cups rather stretchy. The fabric does have some give, and swimwear fabric tends to loosen up in water.

I ordered several sizes for comparison, and after figuring everything out, I went up 1 band size and down 1 cup size from my regular UK size (30E -> 32D).
Couldn't be happier with the fit.

The 32D cups are just right, considering the stretchy fabric the bikini top is made of. The 32 band keeps me supported and contained while not cutting in or leaving red marks.

After all, there's no reason to stick with 'your size' just for the sake of it. To me, a bikini top (or a sports bra...) has different fit requirements than a regular bra. So, If I end up wearing a different size in them that's totally fine with me, as long as it feels comfortable and nice.
