All their photos all look great on IG, but check that none of the girls are actually doing anything other than posing for a photo. This is because if you actually try to do anything like swimming in your swimsuit, your boob will pop out, or the fabric will crease in a weird way, or rub you raw in your pits, which is obviously super uncomfortable. I surf, and I don’t have confidence surfing in this bikini because my boob would pop out. Maybe this works for smaller chested girls, but as someone with a full bust (who ordered M++, apparently the version for busty girls) I am dissatisfied with coverage and fit.

Also, the quality isn’t great. The color faded really quick, and there was some delaminating after only a few uses causing weird bubbles in the fabric. I used the top more than the bottom and you can see from the photo the difference in color after one season of wear.

I gave this brand another chance and then on my next swimsuit, a purple pastel one, the black dye from the underside of the suit discolored the pastel purple, causing it to look permanently dirty.

I don’t understand why some girls are raving that these are “high quality.” I’m convinced those who say so are those who don’t actually go in the water that much. Even if you somehow manage to get the fit right (which is incredibly hard) there’s still this problem of discoloration. Good quality swimsuits don’t discolor.

You can get beautiful photos with this bikini and I’m happy this brand makes girls feel confident and sexy. But I just don’t think these bikinis are for people who actually do things in the water.    -
