So I am plus size (ordered the 24 here) and swim laps 4-5 days a week so need something that I can do breast stroke in without lady bits popping out on both ends 😬. I’ve had the Waterpro polyester splice suit for about 5 years now and it’s held up great but I felt like it was finally time to get a second option so I bought this pattern instead and boy are they different. 1. This pattern has much better arm holes. In the polyester one my side boob kept falling out so I always wore a sports bra underneath. This one is much more secure on the sides. 2. The legs stay put which I didn’t even notice was an issue with the polyester one but now that this doesn’t it’s so nice. 3. The fabric is a much thinner than the polyester one. So you definitely see more but I like the thin smooth feel better. It dries about the same as the polyester if not a little slower which was surprising. 4. Fit is perfect, couldn’t ask for anything better. The polyester one has a shorter torso but this one is perfection. Out of the 2, this has become my go to suit and I use the polyester as my backup.
