As a larger woman (particularly in the chest department), I need a suit that gives me lift, support, and hugs close to the body. This suit, unfortunately, doesn't provide much support and the material is too flimsy to be tight on my body, meaning I get a lot of drag when I swim (the suit hangs off me in the front). Perhaps a good suit for differently shaped women but not my favorite for me.
For my needs (a water aerobic class) the suit is perfect and I have used this style for many years. But like everything else the price is becoming prohibitive.
The lining of the suit is difficult to adjust and is uncomfortable. The cup size seems to be exagerated toward the larger scale. I made the mistake of going with a conservative cut; it looked and felt like a was wearing a baggy diaper. Was unable to test functional aspect of suit in water due to overall inproper fit.
I love swimming for exercise in this suit. I am older and have lost a great deal of weight so I wasn't sure what size to get. I could have gone with a smaller size, but since I am not in it for competition, I like the fit of this one....
had same style before but Ocean brand-will need to take up straps to tighten cup area cuz too loose for water aerobics-would like more high neck suit choices to reduce "bounce" factor
Because my chest is usually larger than any swimsuit's, I ordered this a size larger than I would normally. Worked like a charm to keep certain body parts where they belong while I am doing water aerobics. The only problem is that the straps are waaaay to long, but that's probably because I am so short. That problem was taken care of by my sewing machine. I will befinitely buy this cut of suit again because it is so comfortable.
