Why did I wait so long?!
I’ve wanted a long sleeved swim suit for years, the time was right (no more pregnancies in the future) and this one seems perfect! Size/fit: I ordered a size 10 (I’m 5’6” 135 lbs.) Amazon suggested I get a 12 but the 10 was perfect. I mostly a Medium these days and don’t like things too tight. The suit offered forgiveness in my tummy. As a mom of 3, that’s a top feature for me! Additionally, the sleeves also had enough room for me to not feel like I’m wearing a wet suit. It was very comfortable to sit in all day. Full coverage in the bottom, as a 40 year old, that’s another top feature for me! The pads are not sewn in so can be adjusted to fit you, which is great. That being said, it was a little awkward to adjust during the day. Not a huge deal for me. A few other pros: Nursing in this suit was fine. It’s not the easiest suit to nurse in because both sides are less secure once you unzip. Some of the strappy bathing suits are easier to nurse in but don’t provide the pros of the sun coverage but my we are only nursing for comfort these days so (in theory) I need to nurse less often. Nursing was no issue for us. The material of the suit feels high quality to me, thick fabric that is double layered. I think the coral print is adorable! We spend a LOT of time outside, so if I have something that lasts me through at least a summer of beach and river fun, it will be a great value for my money. Especially considering all of the TIME and money on Sun screen application that I will save plus the additional peace of mind that I have one less thing about which to worry. A few questionable things: The suggestions made on the tag seem ridiculous for a swimsuit. This suit will go me in contact with sunscreen! I also plan to wash it in the machine (hopefully I remember to put it on delicate!) I’m not a pool person so the other parts don’t apply to me but be advised. It’s a little tricky to get off in the sense that is sounds like a seam is ripping when I try to get out the first arm, it’s a little tight. I’ve examined the inside of the suit and all seams appear intact. TLDR: if you want a long sleeved suit, order this one now! Read more
