SpeedoWomen's Swimsuit One Piece Powerflex Ultraback Solid

I like to swim for exercise and recreation, but I am not a racer or a pro or any sort of thing that would require me to have a suit that helps me go faster. I just needed one that doesn't slip off, provides enough support, and is comfy enough to swim around in for a long period of time.This is the suit for that!The sizing seemed about right, but for me, I went up a size-- In women's dresses, I am a 6 or 8, and I got a 10 and a 12 in this suit to see what would fit. The 10 felt a little tight when I put it on, but not uncomfortably so. The 12 was a little loose, especially in the top. So, I opted for the 10, and am glad that I did. As soon as I was in the water, the 10 fit perfectly, did not feel too tight, and did not leave any red marks or anything like that. I think I made the right choice size wise for me, looking at the size chart, I was a 8 in the bust measurement, 6 in the waist, and a 10 in the hips, and the 10 is just right for me, if that helps anyone with the same sizing issues!The fabric seems durable, and it is nicely lined. There is a built in shelf-type bra (it doesn't have formed cups, or anything, but there is a separate bra part, with an elastic band across the front, and this provides some support). It doesn't provide a great deal of support, but enough given that the suit is relatively thick and seems to retain its stretch well. That was one concern that led me to a suit like this rather than a suit that was just for fashion, because other suits that I have owned tend to slip off when I dive into the pool, or provide no support at all.The straps are thick enough that they do not dig into my shoulders, and the way that they cross in the back allows for me to move my arms easily.The leg openings are not super high, which I love. This is not like the typical high-leg racing speedos that I think of when I think of speedo suits. It comes down lower, which I find very flattering. It is accurate to how it is shown on the picture. Although it is a more modest suit, it still hugs my body in a way that I find very flattering. So, even though it is not just for fashion, I still feel confident in this suit, and think that it looks nice.I will update this when I have used it more to say whether or not it fades or any other issues appear, but if it stays how it is, I will be very happy. It seems like it will last me a long time, even with weekly use. I can't say how it would be for those who swim for reasons other than I do, but I recommend it to anyone who needs a practical suit.

I bought this suit a year ago - so this review comes after much use.I purchased a size 10 long. I have a very long torso - but I am not particularly tall. At the time of the order I weighed 130 pounds and am 5'7" tall. The suit fit well. i have since lost 15 pounds and the suit it a little loose - probably from wear on the fabric as well as the weight loss.I swim on 3-4 times per week outside and rinse the suit in clean water after my swim. I rarely washed the suit. It held up very well. It needs replacement now because it has gotten thin in the backside and there are some runs in the fabric near the arm holes. I have historically had a great deal of difficulty finding one piece suits that fit - this one is one of the only ones. I believe the size 10 was a size up or so in order to get additional length (the suit was not super tight when new). If you are particularly tall I would recommend going up one suit size in order to have additional length. The front is fully lined and there is an unlined shelf bra. If you regularly swim laps this is a good performance suit. It does not have pads in the chest area. In terms of comparison to less expensive suits, the construction of the interior of the suit and the sewing is better - more durable and the quality of the fabric is very good.The suit has been the first comfortable one-piece bathing suit that I have ever had and I am reordering now because I have been so happy with this product. Highly recommend!

No bra pads to show through or adjust. It flattens the breasts and keeps them from moving around during lap swimming or water aerobics. I'm a 32 DD and size 6/8 pant. I bought the 6 (navy) and it fits snug but it's not digging into my rear or shoulders. I was wearing an 8 but it gets too loose as the fibers break down from the pool chlorine. Speedo suits are lasting me around 5 months before they look sloppy loose and overly faded. I wouldn't wear it poolside at a resort or on the boat. It's too plain in my opinion. I would wear a recreational suit for these activities.

I've had this swimsuit just over four months and I swim an average of twice a week. I'm very diligent about rinsing it out after every swim and washing it regularly. It has lost almost all elasticity, faded, and looks absolutely awful. I expected so much better quality from Speedo.

This suit performs perfectly. It remains flat on my body except one spot: the butt. The legs are so “modestly” cut that they actually wrinkle around the bottom of the back end.The suit is extremely high quality and durable which made that one flaw worth keeping it. I did accidentally get a “tall” which I’m not, so since I wanted to go swimming and it fit okay, I’m keeping it. The suit is nice and heavy weight with a lovely dark black liner. No bust support other than a very light shelf bra so if you want anything more than that, keep looking. I do find that it’s easy to swim in, although it is hard to get off once it’s wet. I think this would be a versatile suit to use for a triathlon if you’re not looking for too much chest support. I use it strictly for lap swimming in a pool and it works great for that. I have now worn it at least a dozen times for lap swims, and it has not faded at all (I do use Suit Soak wash after I swim every time, rinsing it in the sink and let it air dry). This is not my favorite suit, as the racer back does cut in a little and make some rolls that are a little unsightly, but it performs great and is exactly as I had expected a speedo to function. Swims well and doesn’t gap anywhere even while swimming hard.

This is the first swimsuit that actually fits my torso length and isn't baggy. New favorite swimsuit! Only slight downside is that it squishes mah boobies down and doesn't have any built in support for the ladies, but it is a small sacrifice for avoiding a front thong situation.
