I bought this swimsuit for swimming laps. I needed a one piece with relatively few ruffles but because I am small chested, I wanted a little help in that area. After receiving the suit on time, I tried it on. The breast cups were so thickly padded that it didn''t look even close to natural. There was almost an inch and a half of padding. I''m all for a little help with small breasts, but that was way over the top. I''m returning it.
