Review on BALEAF Women's Colorblock Athletic Boy Short Swimsuit: Sporty Swimwear for Active Ladies by Eric Teshome

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good suit, quality material

I bought two identical suits a few days apart. I thought I would prefer this one as it has a very good lining. The costume is made of very high quality material. Feels luxurious. However, after a couple of weeks of wearing socks, the seams began to diverge. It is very difficult to sew the top/outer seam to the lining without breaking the seam etc. Not having a sewing machine I had to sew by hand and you can see where I tried to join. . The tear was caused by the seam being sewn very close to the edge. It was very difficult to identify the existing seam. The suit is excellent for water therapy. There is no skirt that flowed into the water. Easy to get in. Nicely covers the hips, no need to shave. It is easy to move around in the water while exercising. I have nothing to complain about water wear/exercise related. This suit moves easily in the water. The suit does not absorb or retain excess water. No problem with the extra water weight when exiting the pool. There are no pills from sitting on a rough bench in front of jets of water. After use, I rinse the suit in shower water, then take it home and run a hand wash cycle with hypoallergenic Purex garment soap. No software. Then air dry. Around the same time I bought (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SKFMYXD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) this suit. I thought I wouldn't like this suit because it doesn't have the luxurious feel of a BALEAF suit. But this CharmLeaks suit has better rib cage support and containment. It also works well for aquatic therapy and has the same benefits as BALEAF, just with a lesser quality feel.
