Women's Arena Shapewear Women's Makimurax R C-Cup Ladies Tummy Control Shaping Swimsuit

So. I haven’t owned a one piece bathing suit since I was a kid. Color me surprised. This is literally the hottest swimsuit I own now! Goodbye bikinis, this one piece makes me feel like a million bucks. I love the athletic cut! I didn’t find it overly restrictive, but I can tell the side panels are cinching me in a bit. That means it’s comfy and I get to look snatched. I’ve never had a more flattering fit. It also covers my buttcheeks adequately, which is hard since I’m a cheeked up girl. I’m 5’5, 135 lbs and the size 34 works perfect for me. If I wanted to be more shaped in the waist, I could’ve sized down, but I know my cheeks appreciate the extra hip space. It’s so clearly a high quality swimsuit from a brand that cares about finish and details. I was unfamiliar with Arena prior to getting this swimsuit, but now I’m a brand loyalist. It’s truly the best suit I’ve owned in a long time.

I really like this shapewear one-piece swimsuit. It is sized appropriately based on measurments and size guide. It fits well, with good, comfortable body control without being too tight or restrictive. It does it's job without hindering movement. The style and design would be great for a swimmer or athletic use, but also works well and looks good for casual wear. It's cut to sit just right, and the pink designs along the sides aid visually in enhancing figure. It feels well made and durable, with the fabric not feeling cheap or thin. It provides full coverage, which really helps this mom of 2 who has lost significant weight after kids feel comfortable enjoying the water.

I'll start with why I deducted a star... I believe the sizing is off. I ordered an XL (size 42). Since I ordered this swimsuit I have dropped at least 20lbs, and this suit JUST fits. So keep that in mind when picking your size; maybe go up a size or two if you want a little more wiggle-room, sort to speak. Other than that, the swimsuit was easy to put on without having to finagle straps, closures, etc. The body definitely looks more black than "night grey" as advertised, but the contrast between the pink and black is nice. I washed the swimsuit in the washing machine (cold water) and hung it to dry. It's still in great condition. The material is thick enough to withstand most bodies of water (salt, chlorine, etc.), and the suit stays in place if you're a swimmer. The current price for the "night grey and fairy rose" in size large is $85. I'm not sure if I will really put this suit to the test to find out if it's worth that price, so for those of us that visit the pool to lounge the price is high.

This is a nice quality suit and I think it will continue to hold up well. It is appropriate for lap swimming and any water activities and is flattering for a functional suit, but obviously not as flattering as a suit made to just lay out in. I ordered the size recommended for my measurements and it fits as expected, which is to say that it feels a bit snug at first and then just right once in the water where it loosens up as expected.

A little tight, but seems to do the trick. It does pull your tummy in and all, but to me anyway it kinda pinched some. It works though as a quick swimsuit if you need one and it is kinda cute and does the job of hiding the less then favorable parts of your body, I guess the part I like best was the fact it made my chest seem smaller then it is.

Competition suits are designed to be very snug in the beginning. I usually have to size up with this brand, but I found I really didn't need to. The cut of this suit is somewhat modest, with a bit of extra compression in the tummy area. I don't think it's slimming, but it is smoothing. Most importantly, it is very comfortable for lap swimming, the material resists fading really well, and its quite durable (as long as you take good care of it).

This is an excellent swimsuit. It's made by one of the premier swimsuit manufacturers, and its fabric will survive chlorine and washes much better than most other swimsuit fabrics. I've used Arena swimsuits for 30 years, and they are really good. This one isn't quite a competitive suit. It has much more structure, a bra, and a more flattering neckline, though it is not really a 'sexy' design, it is a flattering but conservative design. It has panels that are tight enough to create a much better figure, and I think it produces a better appearance than a 'sexy' swimsuit for 99% of people. The shoulder straps are easily adjusted, the material is thick in the right places for discretion, the support is good in the chest, and the suit does feel tight, but is very much sized as expected. That said, this is totally usable for swimming laps and doing flip turns. It's easy to use for either play or 'work.' If you swim laps, it's probably not quite as fast as a racing suit, particularly because of the chest, but it's not like you'd be out of the running entirely. The suit stays completely in place, super well, during flip turns or kicking or butterfly or whatever drill. I find over the laps I forget it is there, though it's honestly less comfortable than a competitive swimsuit. It looks great, though. I've attached a photo of the bra area to help you understand it. This part of the suit is much less tight (again, it's a flattering suit). I should note this is not even close to a cheeky cut. The legs are somewhat low. All in all, this is the one for me. I can wear it to the beach, and I can exercise. I love it.
