I am a 52-year-old woman who started swimming last year after a total knee replacement. I wanted a swimsuit that was comfortable and stayed in place.
The wide straps and the light support the suit gives me allows me to focus on "not drowning" instead of making sure that my suit is revealing something. :)

I swim twice a week for about an hour with a pretty intense workout. This suit felt a little big dry and even a little bigger wet. The shoulder straps rub a little in the front. The coverage in back dips a little low, but still covers okay. The fabric feels very nice and I hope it holds up!

Most Comfy Suit Ever |

This is by far THE most comfortable suit I''ve ever worn, and I''ve been a distance swimmer for over 30 years. It is like silk against the skin, so comfy you forget you''ve even got a suit on. It''s too soon for me to know how it will hold up to the chlorine as I''ve just starting wearing it. I bought two of the thin straps and one of the wide straps which I''ve not yet tried. If it holds up as well as the other competition polyester suits, it will be pure heaven. I sometimes get a couple of years out of them as I soak them in water and baking soda after I swim which neutralizes the hydrochloric acid from the chlorine. Word of caution: it does run big. Usually a 36 fits me well, but in this, it''s a bit large. I''m very sad to see this item in clearance as usually that means it''s being discontinued. How unfortunate.

I loved this suit at first. Its much softer than most polyester, for real women with boobs, it actually covers everything and its actually made in the US! But now, after about 3 months of wearing it 3-4 times a week, the inner lining is wearing very thin and is all stretched out. Its strange that the outside is still doing good, but i hate putting it on and having the lining sticking out in places! I bought a second one after liking the first so much, so maybe it will last longer - I haven't put it into rotation just yet. Overall, just disappointed after loving it so much to begin with.

I bought this suit more than a year ago, and it is just now starting to stretch out a bit. I had not heard of this brand before, but was intrigued by the claims that it was both soft and long-lasting. I usually swim five days a week in very chlorinated pools. Most suits I've had before have not lasted like this. Even the rougher poly suits have generally lasted me only about six months. The suit also offers very good coverage on top. It's cut a bit low in the back, which took some getting used to; it's not that it's revealing, but when I turn I feel that it's lower on my back then previous suits, and as it finally starts to wear, this is one place I am noticing it. But it's hard for me to believe that I've gotten more than a year of wear out of the suit. I will be buying this suit again.
