baleaf Women's Athletic Swimsuits Racerback One Piece Bathing Suit

I am very pleased with this swimsuit! It is very comfortable, flattering, and well made. The fit is pretty true to size. I sometimes wear a medium but with swimsuits I order a size up because I don't like tight. I love the racerback style - no sagging straps! I love that the cup pads can be easily removed through a side slit; it seems plenty supportive without the foam pad. The price is very affordable!

This is my second Baleaf Racerback Suit. I swim year-round and am on a constant search for the perfect swimsuit. This one has definitely come the closest (and I have purchased and worn a lot of swimsuits!). It's absolutely so comfortable to wear, nice looking, and the legs have good elastic so they stay in place well and cover everything perfectly. It's easy to move my arms in this suit and the torso is a good length (I'm 5'6", fairly thin, but do have a big of a tummy). I size down because in the water, swimsuits (and rash guards) stretch and eventually they stay somewhat stretched. I like the black just fine, but it would be a bonus if Baleaf made this suit in a wider variety of colors/patterns.

I was excited to try this suit out. I am a lap swimmer on the larger side so finding a good workout suit to fit my body type is hard. This suit is well made with good seams. It is a thicker material and double lined. The cut is flattering with the side panels creating a slimmer silhouette. I wore it this morning first day back in the pool after summer break. 2000 yards and the suit was going strong, it didn’t feel like it stretched out at all. So win, win. Hopefully it continues strong. As mentioned before I have a larger body type, with smaller chest area. Finding a workout suit tight enough to swim in, but not too tight to be unbearable and with enough room in the belly so that I don’t have gaping thigh holes allowing to world to see all. I was able to squeeze in fine no gaping thigh holes, didn’t ride up in the back, and kept me covered on top. I feel a size up wouldn’t endure the constant flip turns and stream line off the wall so well. Only way it could get better would be to have a little more room in the abdomen for the slightly larger women.

Awesome swim suit! Great coverage and stayed in place throughout my aqua workout. I’m 5’8” 155lb with a fairly long torso and the large fits perfect. I little extra room in the chest (B cup here). Definitely has some stretch in the straps. Comfy and functional.

I didn't give 5 stars ONLY because it hasn't been in the water yet, so I haven't assessed how the suit soaks and 'drags' or holds up yet. But it looks excellent and I really would give it 5 stars I'm sure once I've swum. Now...as to sizing and fit... I'm 5 ft 6.5 inches and approx. 195 lbs (recently ~215, so I wasn't leaping to fit smaller just yet, in case who knows...). In addition, my fitting issue is that my chest is always an inch bigger than my hips proportionately, while all the women's sizing charts show the reverse, ie hips a bit bigger than chest measurement. That being said, I was looking for some level of comfortable/sporty chest support and compression in this suit because I want to lap swim, and I don't need an additional pocket of water between my boobs dragging down my suit, slowing me down, and needing me to yank up and remove said water every lap or so. So, I was happy to roll the dice on a smaller chest size suit for a better swim fit. On a side note, for this purpose, I do wish the neck was cut a bit higher. Please note that it's a little more scoop-y than sport needs would dictate. I first ordered the 42, based on the measurements in the bust-waist-hip sizing chart (I'm 45.5-38-44.5) that Baleaf provides in this listing, but the suit felt too big...the crotch fell a little lower, there were a few folds between the boobs, and the thigh openings seem to fall lower than my thigh crease and turn into some sort of boy short thing. I did a little more investigation, and found this other chart that I'm attaching which I dug up somewhere on some reviewer's site, and boy, was it helpful. It shows sizing by height and weight, rather than by B-W-H measurements, and of course, YMMV but I think it should be taken into account for size. The suit stretches both ways, so some people might use the stretch horizontally if needed, or those with short or long torsos should take this into account as well. I have long legs, hence I needed less stretchy torso length if that makes sense. That's why the 42 crotch was falling lower for me. I ordered the 40 and it fit just right. Which, if I had gone strictly by the B-W-H chart, I wouldn't even have tried (because note that my bust measurement would have been 4" bigger than the suit size maximum! I didn't even need to re-try the 42 but I did since I had both in the house, and there was no comparison. I would even say I'm hovering on the edge of 38. Like if I was a competition swimmer getting the classic tight fit, I would be able to go with 38. I'm content to get started with the 40 though. It's snug enough, but comfortable, easy to get on and off (dry so far haha), but when/if it stretches after some use, I can see it getting less efficient. I went into this detail because the other reviews helped me so much, and I hope this adds to someone's insight (or further confusion!) The cup liners are annoying and have weird folds out of the package, and I may pull them out to lap swim, because I basically do not care if nipple outlines offend lol! But I'll try them out anyway to start. If they add soggy drag, then they'll come out. But, otherwise the bust fit is nice, the shelf band hits in the right place, and there is no side spillage. Overall...I'm very pleased with this suit and look forward to using it, and will come back to Baleaf for more if it works out. Update: It's performing great in the water, so I'm changing to 5 stars. I never bothered with the liners and it was fine. There is a little more pouching around the stomach with excess material when wet, but not noticeable at my level of swimming. I am really happy with this suit.

Ordered the burgundy size S. Love the color and material, but fit is a bit off. Chest portion of size S is too wide at the armpits, but torso length is just right, so unsure if I should’ve sized down to XS

I haven't swam in this yet, only tried it on. I ordered this one piece because it was the only one that had "wine red" available as a color which is the same color as a pair of swim shorts I ordered from the same brand. However they are very different colors so be aware if anyone is aiming to color match! The one piece is more wine like and purple leaning while the shorts are more like a maroon. I do like the contrast of them together so even though the colors aren't a perfect match I'm not unhappy. I have a hard time sizing one pieces because I have very wide hips relative to my upper body so a lot of times they will be far too loose in the top if the bottom fits. I did have the presence of mind to check my measurements to help me choose. I have roughly 42"/36"/50" bust/waist/hips and selected the XXL. It seems like a good fit from trying it on. The top is maybe a little roomy but it has good coverage and the straps feel secure. The elastic of the leg holes is a little pinchy at first but I think that will subside as the material relaxes. I will be working at a special needs summer camp this summer so I really wanted a swim suit that fit well and felt secure. I didn't want anything with adjustable straps or ties or anything else that wouldn't hold up to pulling/tugging. So far I think this swimsuit combined with the shorts I ordered will fit the bill!

I like it. It fits well. 5' 4" and 160 pounds. I have the size Large. I've seen a few reviews that say the bra padding bunches up but I just took mine out so I can't say that's a problem for me. I like the better coverage this suit provides since I'm in my 70's and I don't need everything hanging out any more. It's holding up well. I've had it for a few weeks and I swim 4 times a week and there has been no fading and no obvious wear. My only issue is that the straps roll when I put it on and I have to reach in back to straighten them out. Maybe a little more lining in the straps would help with that. All in al, it's a good suit and I'll probably buy it again.

So happy with this amazing bathing suit! What a nice cut! Finally a suit that is made for swimming or exercise not for show. Everything is covered and tucked in nicely, front, back and sides. I’m 66 years old , 5’10” and 162 lbs. I normally wear an XL which was too tight, the XXL is a perfect fit. Love this suit. Nice fabric, fully lined, pretty colour. Don’t worry, it is perfect! Size up one size in my opinion.

Finalmente un costume che arriva fino a sotto le ascelle e copre la ciccia in eccesso! Ho un seno 4c (nemmeno eccessivo) ma è difficile trovare un costume che cope per intero il seno.. di solito "esci" un po' sui lati ma questo è perfetto. Non trasparente quando bagnato e l'elastico intorno ai glutei tiene sempre bene dopo numerose nuotate.. non c'è lasco. Ottimo acquisto.

Super bonito, resistente y la talla muy acertada. Pedí L y mido 1.70 y peso 82kilos.

Entalla muy bien, no es escotado cosa que agradezco. Lo recomiendo.

This swimming costume is perfect! I have been looking for a costume like this for years, great bum coverage and extremely comfortable. I did order one size up which is a perfect fit.
