A great swimsuit!!
By T. Calabrese
I am a water fitness instructor and am constantly in a chlorinated pool. I've had this swimsuit for 2 years and it still looks brand new. The color hasn't faded and it hasn't stretched out like most swimsuits. I highly recommend this suit to anyone, especially if you are in a water fitness class several days a week. I have told all my class members about this suit and many have already purchased it.

C Cup and Up BEWARE
By Stacy
This is a well built suit as far as material and craftsmanship. My problem is more with the style and fit. I was looking for a modest swimsuit for lap swimming. I have had a "unitard" type suit before, but it is stretched out and thinning, so I thought I'd try this one.First, let me list the great things about this suit: it is sorta' thick because it is 100% lined. The entire front is lined; the entire back is lined. Awesome! I like the length too. I don't think the description says, but it has about a 6" inseam (guesstimate).I really wanted this suit to work for me, but it didn't for the following reasons: it has a shelf bra. I should have known that I wouldn't like that, because I normally steer away from any item with a shelf bra. Unless you are built small on top, a shelf bra forces the straps to be pulled down. This causes a gap on the front that serves to "scoop" water into the suit while swimming creating lots of drag. I could have gotten past this part, but the other problem with the straps being pulled down is it hinders ability to rotate your arms all the way - NOT comfortable for freestyle swimming. If you like to doggie paddle, it might work. After 4 1/2 laps, I went to the locker room to switch back to my old thin, stretched out, crummy suit. Another reviewer mentioned the "muffin top" issue with the leg openings. I didn't quite have that issue, but the legs are tighter than my old suit (when it was new) to a point of being uncomfortable.After reading this, you might just think I ordered the wrong size. Maybe so, but I ordered a size LARGER than my current jean size. I think if you are average build it might be a great suit. This is not a suit for a curvy girl. Curvy girls need "soft cups" instead of a shelf bra and a racer back. These are available online, wish Amazon would let me direct you to the site that carries them, but if I put it here, they'll bleep it out!As for the seller - great service. I received my order FAST. I didn't attempt to return the suit because the tag was attached in such a way that it popped off the first time I tried it on, and I really didn't notice how uncomfortable it was until I tried to swim in it. I would suggest you try doing swim "actions" when trying on a suit before you get it in the chlorine! Good luck finding the one for you!

Dolfin Chloroban Unitard
By Katherine
I compared several unitard suits online -- until it began to look like they were all the same suit going under slightly different names! Anyway, I've been wearing a Speedo unitard that is unlined and has a prominent seam down the center. I was always worried about embarassing myself in it so one day I decided to upgrade. This is a great suit. It is durable and I have no doubt the fabric will last a long time. It's also lined and no seam runs down the center, so I'm worry-free. I like how the fabric is firm but forgiving -- it hugs where it can and gives where it must. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the leg openings are a little tight on me. This is something I struggle with perhaps more than others. I tried a size up to see if that was better, and it wasn't. So, I'm stuck with a little "muffin-top" action on my legs. All in all, a big improvement, though.
