I love the fit of this swimsuit. It is so difficult to find a racer-back plus-size swimsuit that does not involve a stupid attached skirt or other bulky additions. The construction of it is so well made that I feel confident and in control, that is I know no body parts will make an unexpected appearance by popping out of the suit. And I am certain that it is going to last a long time.

I like the suit because it's better than the one I had before, but I think the top is cut too low for actual swimming. I feel like something is going to pop out. The rest fits pretty good. It's a great suit if you're not moving around too much. Since it's so hard to find a one piece in this size that doesn't have a stupid skirt I'm keeping the suit. But I'm going to keep looking around for a better suit to swim laps in.

Though I thought this product would "resist" chlorine, that is not the case. Within 8 pool swimming sessions, the navy blue suit faded. Other than that, the fit is great and consistent. Thanks.

I thought the lycra felt like an inner tube around my stomach. And I don't like slinky fabrics. I ordered another suit, polyester/PBT. I've had several of them. Just don't stop manufacturing them (almost everything seems to be lycra right now!

This suit is comfortable and I notice at my pool it is very popular among the serious swimmers. It is true to size and looks like the picture.Speedo Women's Speedo Women'S Aquatic Xtra Life Lycra Solid Ultraback In Contemporary Long

I am extremely disappointed with this bathing suit. I wore it six times, and the color has washed out of it. It is purple in huge patches, no longer navy blue. I do not think this is the fault of the suit. Seepdo is a great suit. I think this was an extremely old suit. That's why it faded. I would give this seller a 0% rating.

I wear plus sized clothing but I just hate the usual plus sized "tent" type swimsuits that have frills and skirts, getting in the way when I try to swim. This suit is great!

The fit is appropriate for a plus sized woman, with plenty of coverage and room in the bust. The leg openings are moderate, but still modest. The Ultra Back design is secure and will not slip off when I am trying to swim. It is comfortable and doesn't pull or squeeze me into a shape that isn't really me.

My husband says it is more flattering to my figure than the blousy suits that try (and fail) to cover up an "ample" body, and that really makes me feel good. This is my second suit of this style and I have gotten lots of compliments while wearing them. The low price makes me nervous, though, because it makes me fear that this style is being discontinued. I hope not, because I want to keep buying this one again and again.

This swim suit is good, but quite large/loose. I would buy it again, but would consider a smaller size than I normally wear.

I used to be a competitive swimmer (many, many years ago) and my team always wore Speedos. Now that I've gained weight and need something for the gym pool, I went back to the Speedo. The quality hasn't changed. The suit is thick (no see-through spots!), the straps stay on nicely, and the cut is just right for a person my age and a person my weight. Not too high, not too low. My only (minor) complaint is that the cups are too big for me. I'm a 20 in the hips but a 14 in the chest, so I get a lot of water in the cups. I probably should have ordered a size smaller and just dealt with the tightness in the hips.
