I usually wear a size smaller, which you did not have when I ordered this item. I still haven't worn it because it's bigger than the suit I'm currently wearing. But it's better than nothing, so I'm hanging onto it.
I bought this bathing suit to do some boogie boarding/ active swimming with. I think I ordered a size too big. When I swim fast the suit pulls down from the top and I have to readjust it. It's a great suit otherwise. Runs bigger than size stated.
I bought this suit for water aerobics. I have a long torso and it fits well. The tummy control and design of the suit help to somewhat hide the "pooch". It dries fast. Wish the bra cups would stay in place a little better but they aren't bad. I have a meduim chest and it holds me in pretty well but if you have a large chest, I don't think this suit would work.
Size was true, colors and style are very nice, but I didn't like the size and shape of the covering in the back and sides.
I use this suit for lap swimming and it feels and fits great. I used the sizing chart to determine what size to order. The suit feels very true to size. As a matter of fact, it is a little on the long side so it fits my moderately-long torso perfectly. I just ordered another Tyr suit in another style.
Do not like Bra pads. "They move around for they are not attached to the suit. The rest of the suit has worked out well for me.
