This plus-size model is making a splash.

2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie Hunter McGrady has teamed up with UK swim and lingerie brand Playful Promises on a swimwear line, which launched on Tuesday. McGrady, whose mom was also a model, has never been a fan of swimsuit shopping.

“I’ve never found the perfect piece for my body,” the model tells The Post. It wouldn’t fit well, or it wouldn’t be supportive enough or its design would be “dated.” Plus, she adds, the suits were seemingly designed to cover her up completely. “Most brands in the plus market tend to think that coverage is key,” she says. “It’s not. Every woman should have the opportunity to feel sexy and confident.”

In designing her line, McGrady wanted to give women from sizes 14 through 20 a chance to show a little skin. She’d previously posed for Playful Promises and knew they’d be the right brand to help bring her vision to life. “Their message of body positivity at every size . . . couldn’t be more on point with how I feel,” she says.

Her collection consists of 10 swimsuits, including five bikinis. Pieces range from sexy (“the fishnet set is my favorite”) to sweet (a white lace one-piece with a keyhole cutout). Suits are available online in sizes 14 to 20, and cost $28 to $70.
