Plus Size Chlorine Resistant Swimsuits - Polyester Two Piece with Short - Available in Black or Blue

I bought one of these suits back in 2011. I haven't been swimming constantly since then, but used to swim five times a week from 2011-2012. I am wanting to start swimming again so here in 2021, I looked for my old swimsuit and found it in a bag in the closet.

Now it is true I had not been using it for years, but I was still quite surprised to find that the suit was in *excellent* condition. The suit still looks as it did in 2012! No degradation in the fabric, other than the white parts of the bra lining have yellowed slightly. Sadly, I have gained a lot of weight during quarantine, so the suit no longer fits me. I have a friend who is not as big as I am, and I think she can fit in my old suit, and I know she will think she is getting one that is pretty much brand new.

I admit, I did look for less expensive suits on Amazon. They all looked really flimsy. Also, I just want something plain- I don't want any bows or frills or flowers or little skirts. I just want to put my suit on and forget about it, and know it is going to perform well in the water, as this one always has. So I came back to this site, and will be ordering another larger suit.

I know some other reviewers have mentioned that the inner bra has fallen apart in their suits but honestly- aside from a little yellowing, this bathing suit which I bought ten years ago looks like it was purchased ten minutes ago. And if you rinse the chlorine out of it right away, as I used to, I don't see any reason why your suit wouldn't last as long as mine did.

Pros: strong material. strong elastic, elastic at the bottom hem of the top so no riding up in the water, very thick bra so no protrusions might show, shorts are flattering and not too tight or too baggy, suit is very well-made with reinforced seams.

Cons: the heavy duty material is somewhat scratchy out of water, the shoulder loops were too long for my short torso and needed to be altered (easy), suit takes longer to dry than other flimsier suits. And best of all- it's flattering, even to a very big person like me, as it is plain and thick and supportive, so it clings to/supports all of the bulges so you don't feel self-conscious about your body. And it performs beautifully in the water. I can just put it on and forget about it riding up or doing other weird things in the water, and concentrate on my swimming.

If you are on the fence due to the price, I would say- go for it. This suit is a good investment. I know I would have had to replace my bathing suit numerous times were it not this well made. I know the new suit I am purchasing will last for many, many years.

They are suits that do not shrink or fade. They also last much longer than a regular suit. This suit fits great on top but the bottoms are too tight, as though they were mistaken. I don't know what to do exactly.

Love the material and the chlorine resistance, but the top is way too short, at least in plus sizes. If you're going to make plus sized items, you need to take into account that they need to be longer.

Definitely chlorine resistant. Takes a little longer to dry than your typical swimsuit, but worth it. I wish the top was longer, and the shorts were a little tight.

Pros: love the overall concept of this suit. Strong material. Good for aqua fit. Love this suit. Rated 4 because there are a few things that would make it better.

Cons: shorts fit a little tight. Top could be a couple inches longer. Top a little loose around arm holes. Would love a better bra, one that can maybe be adjusted.
Not sure if I will buy again. If changes were made to the top (length, bra) I would definitely buy again!
