I have wasted almost $200 on 3 of these awful swimsuits at this point so shame on me, but I’ve definitely learned my lesson by now. I wanted so badly to like these suits because they do look great on the Instagram page, but that’s the only place they look good, on very strategically posed girls taking photos from flattering angles. The sizing charts are useless because the bikinis do not actually fit according to those measurements. The neoprene fabric meant to lay flat on the body but Is so stiff that there is no stretch if it’s a little tight and if it’s a little big you have awkward creasing and gaping in all the wrong places. I’ve tried different sizes and even different styles trying to find a reason to like this brand but the vast difference between the actual fit of a small and medium made that impossible and there is no size between this for the bottoms. Mediums are wayyy too big and smalls way to tight. Also i don’t know about other countries but if you live anywhere in the U.S. it will cost you $30 to return or exchange anything from this company. Since the swimsuits cost about $50-$70 you are better off ordering a new suit all together and trying to sell the unwanted one on eBay since the cost just to ship it back is almost half the cost of the bathing suit. When I went to the post office and found out it would be $30 to send one back for an exchange I chose to just re order a new suit one size down since the medium didn’t fit. When I received the new suit I’m glad I didn’t waste my money shipping it back for the exchange because the small doesn’t fit either. One more thing the first suit I ordered I paid $16 for express shipping and the package was delivered to a house on the other side of town. I contacted hoaka and the shipping company, nothing was done to fix this and I ended up having to go pick the package up myself. I know that is on the shipping company but hoaka didn’t even offer a reimbursement on the shipping cost or to talk to the shipping company at all.    -
