This suit has more bust support than it would appear from the picture, and great coverage on the bottom. Stays put, dries fast. It does run small... buy at least a size larger than you usually would.

Swim2000 delivered! Suit arrived sooner than expected. I will purchase from this source again.

Speedo Conservative suit *is* Conservative... That is to say that it covers.

I love this bathing suit. The material is very sturdy for water aerobics. Resistant to chlorine. Very true to size also.

I take water aerobics class and needed a suit that would offer me coverage and support when I was jumping and moving in the water.

I bought this suit because it seemed to a flattering cut as well as to be able to support me.

I like the suit and it seems to hold up to the bi-weekly abuse, however, it is a little snug in the bottom region. I have heard that the suit will continue to give and stretch as time passes. The rest fit great.

I bought this suit based on the fact that I've owned another Speedo suit very similar to this one for about 8 years, and it finally reached it's last summer! I just got this suit and it fits really well. I ordered my size based on the sizing chart and ordered the one that was closest to the measurements listed. I fell within the size 14 range with one of my measurements being slightly larger than listed. This being the case the suit is a little snug, but I wanted it that way so it would hold everything in tight! I only gave it four stars because in one of the item descriptions it lists it as having a shelf bra and in another it listed it as having soft cups. I really wanted the soft cups, but this suit only has the shelf bra. The good thing is that I rarely wear my suit in front of men I know, other than my hubby, so if I get cold it won't be an issue with the nipple thing. I decided to keep the suit because it fits and feels great! The material is soft and the navy is a nice color. The coverage is very good and it's a very modest suit. The front has the same coverage as a normal pair of briefs would have. I have yet to swim in it, but if I have problems, I'll post an update to this listing. I'm very pleased!

I wanted a suit to wear for swimming laps. I'm a beginner and tend to run towards the plus sizes. I ordered my size and the suit fits perfectly. I was amazed that it was comfortable and fairly flattering. The suit is made with 2 layers of fabric. The inner lining holds everything in while smoothing everything out. The outer layer makes everything look effortless. I swam in the suit last night and it was very comfortable.

I purchased this suit for a water aerobics class- that I'm not starting until March. I have been using it for laps, and being curvy I'm not into a lot of skin exposure. This is the perfect suit for me, no tugging or pulling- and it fits PERFECT. I ordered my size and got my size. I wish there was a little more padding in the chest area, though maybe the college pool is a little colder than most. ;-) I haven't had the suit long enough to tell how it holds up to chlorine abuse, but I can't say anything but good about it. CHOOSE THIS ONE!

I bought this suit to use once a week for a 1/2 hour in a pool at my son's swimming lessons. The fit is nice and it's comfortable but after the first time I wore it the suit started to change from a navy blue to an ugly reddish purple and it continued to change. It kept the original color on the inside and by the seams so it's obvious it has changed color. I'm now looking for another suit and that frustrates me because this should have lasted longer (I purchased it in Jan and it's May now).

Fits and looks great. The bra provides support but allows for some cleavage. I'd recommend this for any woman with a full (real) figure.

I ordered this suit specifically because of the moderate coverage AND the "molded bra cup". I didn't get a molded cup, I got a very soft cup & that's why it didn't get a 5-star rating.
However, the rest of the suit fits just like I would want. I did get my regular size as I wanted a tighter fit. (I don't intend to stay that size for long!)
Now, this is a specific problem for very "apple-shaped" women.
The leg openings are too big. Yep--too big. I am shaped like a ball with toothpicks for arms and legs. Nothing fits right in the legs. So for other "apples", beware, the leg openings are big. I have decided to go with this size because it isn't so big as to give me a thong effect as I am swimming. A size larger may have.
After a try-on, I am pleased. I really like the sung fit-I think it looks better than my old suit which was "shaped for tummy control". That seemed to call more attention to my tummy than just putting it all out there! I like the material for its control and the pretty navy color. (Hint to other women, navy is actually more slimming that black!!) I like the placement of the crotch and leg openings. This is a "Moderate", & and provides very good coverage of the area & I wonder how much lower the conservative cut is?
Except for the bra cup, I can state that I am happy with the suit.
Now, how does it behave in the water? We will find out soon!
