swimsuit rave *update*

[MrsPotatohead]

I came across this suit the other day and on a whim decided to order it because the price was great and the reviews were actually pretty good. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0142157MI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00



There are a ton of color/style combos on Amazon (under different sellers, but plenty of Prime options) and it's made out of neoprene. I really love it! My favorite part is the thickness of the material, especially for the bottoms, it just feels... more secure, lol. I don't know, it's just so much more enjoyable to wear than other suits, no awkward wedgie possibilities. I'll report back after actually swimming in it if anyone's interested (in case something goes terribly wrong, lol). For the price it seems pretty well constructed though and I'm in love with the fun color/style.

I love that suit!!!

Oh I forgot to mention the fit - the reviews said to size up and I think that's true, although I'm always confused by swimsuit sizing and think I usually wear a larger size than my actual clothes (I buy XS stuff, but wear S/M in swim). I got a Medium and it fits well (I'm XS/S underwear, 30DD/32D bra). It's not perfect (like how a bra should fit), but for a swimsuit it's pretty good. It's a bummer they aren't sold separately (and luckily it worked out), but even if you did the price still isn't bad.

Does it suck in a muffin top?

great question... it is pretty firm so I imagine it would

They do have this high waisted one that looks really cute if you wanted more support www.amazon.com/dp/B011723HFO?psc=1

lol aww

we're going on vacation soon so that's why I was looking, I'm excited to be somewhere that's not grey and rainy for a while!

The high waisted one is cute and would likely fit my ass, but generally can't do suits that aren't separates.

I do think this is a bummer, I actually ordered a couple sizes bc they have a good return policy and I figured even if I had to but two, $18 for each half is still not a bad price. Maybe someone would take the other halves? Haha

just thought I'd update that I loved the suit! It's probably my favorite of any suit I've had, I just love how it fits and the quality seems pretty good. Another small bonus is that because it's made out of neoprene there aren't those stupid little pads that fall out/get twisted when you wash it.

I kind of want another style/color...!

Great, now I have to order one but they are all unavailable except 1. Is it true that the XL is sz 6-8?

It says that it runs small but that is my true size (6-8), so do I need an XXL?

What's your bra size? I think their measurements are pretty accurate for that (their sizes do run small, but I picked my bra size range and that seemed correct). Do you have Prime? You can just order a couple and return for free, which is what I did bc I was in a rush before vacation.

I love this suit! I'm an 8/10 and worried it won't fit but am going to give it a try anyways!

They do have a different set in slightly larger sizes (I know, it sucks these are self-described 'Asian fit' so they run small) that I posted above if this one doesn't work!

I'm going to go with the XL.  If it is too tight I did see a different one that goes up to XXL.
