Worth every cent.
I am 5' 5" tall, 68 years old and 255 lbs; very heavy in the butt and thigh, not so hefty in the bust, and a thick waist and belly. Man this suit was the bomb, though at first it seemed too short and tight. The fit in the water was like nothing else. Most suits I've ever had have been concealing in some way, so I felt like one of those dancing hippos flouncing around in Fantasia.... To heck with that stuff. The suit makes you want to exercise, and the cut is just modest enough for a big, body shy girl like me. So help me, it feels like you have nothing on. Movement is totally unconstrained. Finally, it just feels so good you don't care who is looking. It's that good. The taut abdomen keeps that flapping gut from escaping out the leg openings...no laughing matter for big, older women with kids or surgeries. Maybe I've said to much, but I can't find better words for how great this suit is. Pay attention to your cup when you order. Mine was a medium.

long torso like it says!
I'm only 5'5" but have a very long torso (64"). I usd to wear Lands End or LLBean long torso suits but they've both really changed their fit–not as long as before and they now use uncomfortable, itchy foam cups (and which are awful to swim or exercise in) instead of the soft cups they were using before (and they also had shelf bra styles but no longer, and hardly any racer back or corss strps, both more comfortable than traditional U- shaped backs).Anyway, I have ordered and returned numberous swimsuits this year to find one that fit and finally this one is long enough. Based on revies, I first ordered a size up from my usual size but had to return for my normal size (10 Long). I'm 5'5",133 pounds. It's not easy to get on (tight going over hips, but I'm kind of pear shaped) which is a drag, but is fine once on. But I'm just so glad to have a suit that's long enough, with a racer back and no bulky foam cups. I's not very fashionable but utilitarian. Wish Speedo would offer some of their other styles in long.I dont' knwo why companies don't see that there are many tall and/or jsut long torso women who also need swimsuits!

Excellent workout swimsuit
Wow, what a perfect exercise swimsuit. I'm 5'8" and 138lb with a long torso (66 in) and swim laps for a workout. Haven't worn a one-piece since I was a child because of my height. However, this is perfect for tall ladies! Go on the web elsewhere and find the real Speedo size chart. I used the chart and got a 10L - perfect size. I am a 4-6 in street clothes. So comfortable, not too tight or too loose anywhere, and stayed put in the water. Did a workout and was so pleased with the fit and comfort. The price is excellent. I have literally no comments on how to improve it!

Great practice suit for plus sized women
Speedo is what I buy for my practice suits they offer full coverage and very supportive to hold all my giggly bits in when I'm swimming laps. I wear between a 22 and 24 in pants. This suit fits perfect if don't want it too tight. If you want a snugger fit though I would say a size 22 woman can fit in a size 20 don't get a size 18 though I got that size last time and it was too tight and it's a feat of extreme wiggling to get it on. I swim in chlorine pools probably once a week on average and the last suit I tossed I had for at least a year before it was too trashed to use it any more. If you take good care of these suits they will really last you and they have two layers of fabric that keep the support for the life of the suit. I do triathlons and I've used this suit for several races and the bra liner in it offered some additional support so I only had to put on one sports bra over it to do the running portion of the race (I normally have to wear two).

Endurance suit does not endure chlorine
The so called Endurance suit is anything but durable. I have used Speedo swimsuits exclusively over the years and they decline in quality every year. I have an endurance suit from 15 years ago which is still holding up. It is made of 100% polyester. Now? Made with a mix of spandex which gets destroyed by chlorine. The spandex mix gets higher with each progressive suit I have so that I can see the degradation of materials over four suits. Even the logo fell off of the latest flimsy suit. I get it: they want to sell more suits and they were too durable, so make them of material that will degrade in chlorine. Fine. Just don’t call them “endurance” suits and don’t count on me to stay a customer. I’ll be looking elsewhere for other brands.

Best suit I've owned
I rarely rate my Amazon purchases, but this swimsuit is an exception. I'm 5'8" and 132 pounds, barely a B in the bust, so I ordered the 10L, and it fits perfectly. Really like the cut--it's modest without being prudish and feels contoured to my body in the pool and out, without sticking to the skin or riding up. Very happy with this suit, and at 40 years old, that seems worth the 5 stars.

Fits great for hour glass figures and extremely flattering!
Alright, for starters - I bought this for training Jiu Jitsu, not for swimming. I wear it under my gi (kimono) because bathing suits don't ride up like a regular rashguard might. I originally bought some cheap 10$ bathing suit from amazon (DECATHLON Shaping Body One-Piece Swimsuit) - it worked, and was cheap - but let me tell you, how horribly unflattering it was.SIZE UP LIKE EVERYONE TELLS YOU!!!! I am normally a size 12 so I was worried when everyone said to size up two sizes. I got a 16 and it fits me perfectly - it is very slightly loose under the armpits but if I went to a size 14, it would probably be too tight on my butt/stomach and the leg holes might be too small. My measurements are : Bust: 41 Waist: 34 Hips: 41. This suit is incredibly flattering, and I don't regret the purchase at all, definitely recommend it for similar shaped ladies. I am curvy and thought it might be meant for a lean body, but it's good!I have attached photos, it's nearly impossible to take a good photo in a bathing suit - it looks much better in person.

Great suit!
I am 5’11 and 260lbs with a long torso and the size 22 fits well, maybe a bit roomy for swimming lengths. I come from a swimming background so I’m used to very tight suits. For using it at the rec pool with my daughter it’s perfect. I will order another for swimming for exercise and I’ll get a size 20 next time.

False advertising . Not chlorine resistant . I wasted my money .
I bought this suit Nov 16 2020 . I use it 45 min 2 x week . Within 2 months the lining was fading colour from navy ( original ) to white . Now ( 4 months after purchase ) the exterior layer is fading in wide streaks front and back and down each seam of the suit .This was advertised as chlorine resistant . I remove my suit immediately and hand wash with Splash , a cleaner that removes and resists chlorine so DOUBLE efforts . All my other chlorine resistant Speedo suits are 5+ years old and still look new using Splash . I take very good care of my suits .I am very disappointed in it . The material is thin but feels good on and is flattering .If it had remained chlorine resistant I would have bought a couple more . FALSE ADVERTISING AT ITS BEST . i wasted my money.

Great coverage
I wasnt sorr what size I was, so I took a very rough guess and I am happy the way it fits. I wear about size 20 pants and I have a very large bust...which is usually my problem when trying on swimsuits..the girls just dont stay in while I swim. I am a strong swimmer so I need to ensure that i am not worried about slipping out. The size 22 is perfect for me. I like that it doesnt have a very low back and covers the entire butt! Good job speedo. Let's see how long it lasts now.

Great Fit
Exactly what I was expecting. I normally wear size 8-10 in women's clothes. I'm 5'9 148lb. I had tried a 12 regular on in the store so I knew how it was going to fit. It's perfect, and it came super fast!

fading
Lovely fitting suit, but faded to almost white (originally a navy blue) within 2 months in daily chlorine pool. And I rince my suit well after use. Since this suit is obviously styled for a pool and not the beach, why, oh why is it not chlorine resistant? Same price suit at Landsend is chlorine resistant and similar price. Too bad I also bought another Speedo suit in navy and two in black. Feel like a chump.
