Easiest swimsuit to wear for arthritis and frozen shoulder

I had to find a swimwear that was easier to put on and take off on one side due to systemic arthritis (in many joints) and a "frozen" shoulder I tried this women's plus size swimsuit with built-in cups DELIMIRA front zip swimsuit (color: navy, size: 14, regular) and women's BALEAF sports swimsuit, sports swimwear with a high neckline and short sleeves. Front zip rash guard (color: navy blue size 38.) Both suits are available from Revain February 2020 at quite reasonable prices, for both suits I took a size up than my measurements suggested Tight, constricting clothing is a real one due to my autoimmune condition Agony, so I needed extra space. b a full size larger than waist (in typical American women's sizing) due to full bust, short torso, and hips. and I plan to wear it under a standard swimsuit (or rashguard) if I need extra support. In the past, split briefs have worked best for my needs, but I wanted a simple, one-piece option for travel and backup. set to weeks when I'm in the water for several days in a row without enough time to fully wash/dry. (For my issues, putting on a cold wetsuit is too difficult and too painful.) However, I will keep the DELIMIRA front zip swimsuit and will be returning the BALEAF. Here are the main differences I noticed between the two when I tried them on this morning (over a freshly washed body and clean panties for hygiene purposes!) FABRIC QUALITY -------------- -- - ---- --------------------- The material of the BALEAF suit appears to be slightly thicker and stronger than that of the DELMIRA. While 82% Polyamide/18% Elastane (DELMIRA) sounds very similar to BALEAF's 80% Nylon/20% Elastane, there is a noticeable difference in how the two suits feel in the hand and on the body. The DELMIRA suit is similar to regular thin synthetic swimwear fabric, not particularly thin but significantly less thick than BALEAF. Actually I prefer the BALEAF feeling over the DELMIRA feeling. If the cut was the same I would definitely go for the BALEAF fabric. BALEAF's navy is darker (closer to black) than the lighter shade of blue of DELMIRA's navy, although both can be called navy in my opinion. Both go great with my other swimwear and sun capes, all of which have a navy blue base. IMO I like the dark (black) color based on previous 'wardrobe malfunctions' of the jersey (not tested with these specific suits in real life). BALEAF suit lining over bright white DELMIRA lining. I've had suits in the past where parts of the lining came out when worn, so I think a closer color match between the outside and inside of the suit is a very good thing. The good workmanship of these two suits allows me not to worry too much about it, but I still prefer a matching lining. None of the costumes have a back lining. I think you'll have to pay a lot more for this feature if it's important to you. Both suits are lined at the front to match dress suits, with particular emphasis on the area around the chest where most women seem to prefer a more covered area. BALEAF advertises their suit as having UPF 50 sun protection, while DELMIRA claims no UPF at all. If I wanted an outdoor swimsuit I would only consider sun protection options like the BALEAF. I find it ridiculous that costume manufacturers don't list the UPF of swimwear given how common skin cancer is today, but there can be testing requirements that make it too expensive. I would advise anyone who swims outdoors to choose swimwear with a high UPF as it is an easy way to reduce the risk of cancer. -------------------- I am going to Aquaphysiotherapy (BT) for health reasons; I need a suit I can wear *even on my bad days* to get the relief warm water training brings! In this area, the DELMIRA suit easily wins. BALEAF did not unzip the suit far enough to facilitate donning the suit. The flash of white against the dark suit makes DELMIRA quite slim. Other than that, it's a pretty standard swimsuit otherwise. The zipper can easily be seen as purely a fashion choice, which is good for people with disabilities who don't always want to stand out for this reason. The soft cup bra DELMIRA supports my curvy figure better than the soft cup bra BALEAF. . If I had a BALEAF suit I would probably only wear it over my bra sized supportive swim top with underwire as it just doesn't give me enough support to walk from the locker room to the pool let alone allow for any other physical exercise during the same session (sometimes performed from the water). Keep in mind that I increased the size to reduce the compression of the suit, but these suits still fit me quite well due to my larger butt. The DELMIRA suit itself offers reasonable support comparable to other trendy swimwear with padded bras. I was pleasantly surprised at the good fit of the pack, especially as I went up a size despite this suit being listed as a plus size option. (I don't usually need a large size to fit well, except for underwear and bras.) The cups are sewn in, which is to prevent the cups from shrinking and deforming over time. PACKING AND PRESENTATION -------------------- ----------------------------------My suit DELMIRA came without "Hygiene stickers" in the crotch. I think it's too cheap and a little unfortunate given the lack of guarantees on how people try on swimsuits at home after buying Revain. I *hope* all customers still wear panties when trying on swim trunks, but I'm always grateful for the added protection. However, I always wash new clothes before putting them on my naked body. BALEAF sent their suit in a thicker, matte zip-lock bag that could be reused in place of DELMIRA's thin, seemingly disposable plastic bag. BALEAF offers superior packaging in this comparison. I appreciate brands that at least try to recycle plastic packaging. This DELMIRA is a great option at a very reasonable price.
