Experience

Meh. Wanted to love this suit so badly but I don’t think it deserves the hype. I love the blue color however the fabric is quite delicate and it will color transfer when wet leaving blue stains on towels and lounge chairs. Finding a well fitting one piece has always challenged me (5 ft 9 in). The Aplomb did not deliver on its claim to fit the tallest of the tall. Of course the material stretches but not nearly enough - it’s either going to be super cheeky or uncomfortably low cut. I will continue to wear it because it was expensive 🙃

Feedback

Would not recommend and would not purchase again.

I'm obsessed with this brand. I love how it fits, how I feel when I wear it, and the brands mission.

Feedback

My feedback echos what everyone else says: the care instructions are intensive compared to a normal bathing suit. I wasn't able to wash mine immediately after use, and they have a specific odor now. I've tried washing multiple times and it doesn't matter what I do! Still wear them and it's fine, just a bit unpleasant.

I bought two! I love the different cuts and I like that I can wear them during the day when I'm not swimming, too. My body has been in flux these past few years, and I immediately feel comfortable in this swimsuit when needed.

Feedback

I think the care instructions should be a little clearer, I also wasn't aware that it required a lot of care.

first off - i love the one size fits all and how it’s universally flattering at that. i have two suits and can definitely say they’re worth the money and the hype. the material is nice (a little thicker and soft) and really does just fit well. even on days when i really don’t want to be in a swimsuit i can feel comfortable and a little confident too

These are the most flattering, easy to wear, and versatile swimsuits I’ve ever owned. They are pretty much the only swimsuits I want to ware now,

Feedback

As others have said these are high maintenance, I avoid wearing them in chlorine so I have a little more time before washing.

I love their swimsuit texture and colorways! Their different styles are so gender-neutral and body affirming and I deeply recommend trying them out if you're a nonbinary or trans person looking to invest in a high quality swim set! I get constant compliments every time I wear mine and they dry out super easily in the sun after you've done your swimming. Every person that I've recommended this brand to has absolutely loved it.

Feedback

I wish they were slightly more affordable/accessible

Experience

I was SO on board when I found Youswim- sustainable, flexible swimwear. I almost never buy swimwear, and rarely use it, so to have something that is timeless and will work for me as my body changes (as I'm pregnant right now) is so cool. I love the texture, I love the designs and am so grateful this brand exists.

Feedback

The only downside (why a 4 instead of 5 stars) is the level of care it takes to wash the swimsuit. I didn't realize that before purchasing it. You have to wash it immediately after use, hand wash, with gentle detergent. This is kind of difficult to do when I'm traveling, so that is a bit of a drawback to me.

Experience

I've bought like 5 of these bathing suits and I'm always checking their site for more. I'm admittedly a very mainstream/conventionally-acceptable body shape and size (lean, 115, 5'6) but I adore these bathing suits so much for their versatility. So so so soft, so many beautiful colors, and they're very smoothing.

Feedback

This isn't a dig at the company but something to keep in mind before you purchase — this is basically like buying a cashmere sweater. The care instructions for this fabric are very specific because it's a super-unique fabric. I accidentally left one of my YouSwim suits balled up, damp, in a bag for a couple days and the elastic was permanently ruined. If you need something more hardy and forgiving that can manage some wear and tear (e.g. if you surf or do a lot of swimming or diving or something, and your suit gets put through the wringer) then maybe get a Speedo suit or something less pricey, and save this one for the more relaxed beach/poolside/sailing days.

I love the concept, material, and products this brand makes. I have two one-pieces and they are my go-to suits. So comfortable and always cute - they look great as a body suit under a skirt or jeans too.

Feedback

I wish they had some sort of lining inside the suit, the fabric innovation is super cool though. Would be great if the price point was a bit lower.

This one is actually mind-blowing. The suit looks like it was made for a doll and then suddenly it fits on my body??? It's amazing. The texture is great, the colors are beautiful - I have the lavender. It makes me feel very good in a bathing suit which is often very hard to do!!!
