EQ Swimwear Banded Maternity One Piece

I do moderate intensity lap swimming 3 times a week and this swimsuit is perfect for that. I was a size 8 pre-pregnancy and based on other reviews decided to buy the medium size. There is some extra room in the booty area but it does not ride up. My 26 weeks belly fits comfortable in the front. There is some extra material left, so I think this will fit throughout my pregnancy, but again the suit doesn't look baggy from the front either. I think that this suit is good for people with larger breast, I can imagine that for someone with a smaller chest area the upper part would be too loose. The bands on the back are very sturdy and hold my larger breasts perfectly. The look of the swimsuit is not very fashionable, but it looks like any other race suit and not like maternity clothing, which is a pro in my opinion.

I swim about a mile twice a week and have done so for years. I'm currently four months pregnant and my normal suit was getting very tight, to the point that my suit was putting enough pressure on my abdomen that I felt like I had to urinate after only a couple of laps. I ordered the EQ banded maternity after much debating between various maternity suits. So far, it seems great (and I don't feel like I have to pee while I swim!). I ordered my pre-maternity size (L) based on the fact that my normal suite is a size 38. This maternity suit definitely has lots of room to grow in the tummy area and in fact is a little too big for me now (I'm still mostly in my "normal" clothes). The tush also has a little bit of gather, but that may very will fill in as I get bigger. I do wish there was a little more breast support, but if I grow another size there too I think I might fill in the top as well. The full lining is nice, but I find the stitching a little scratchy compared to my non-maternity Sugoi swimsuit. Let's just hope that the suit holds up for the next 5 months. If so I will have got my money's worth.
