Great For Big Girls
Being plus-sized, I am very happy with this suit. I am 5’5, 275 lbs and wear a 3X so it’s really hard to find swimsuits big enough. I ordered the biggest one, size 44, and although it’s a bit of a struggle to get into (which is inevitable to fit big hips and a tummy through the HEAD HOLE!), it is nice and stretchy so once I got it on, it’s comfortable. It is snug but I am using it for swimming laps so a little tight is good.
The breast pads are definitely annoying because they fold and scrunch up since they are not tied down, especially mine being really big pads (perfectly sized pads for D cups, see pic) so they are a pain to straighten out. But I find that the case with all swimsuits. These pads are a little thicker than I think necessary. I was happy to discover a small opening in each breast pocket to pull the pads out so that’s what I did. It’s a black suit so I’m not really worried about the modesty component. I can even reuse the pads for something else.
The suit material is double lined and VERY strong, but yet very stretchy. I don’t expect it to wear through or rip. I’m very happy with it.
