When I first got this swimsuit, I would have given it 5 stars, easily. I still would, except for one issue, which I will get to. First, why I love it: They are so incredibly supportive and sculpting, I truly love how they fit. It is August and I have worn these all summer, at the pool and the beach, and I have had no problems with the waist rolling down or the bottoms bunching. It sucks me in and hides my mommy pooch. I have a fairly long torso (I can't wear regular one-pieces, they don't fit), so maybe this is why I don't have any issues that some others have had. The reason I took away two stars: I have the black swim bottoms, and I have been shocked to find that they stain any light-colored fabric they touch when wet - they stain it yellow! Before figuring this out, I stained my light-colored beach towel, as well as my kids' swimsuits, when I piled them all together when wet after a day at the pool. It has even stained my bathtub, where I had laid them to dry. As I said, I have worn these all summer, dozens of times, and it still bleeds yellow when I rinse them in the shower after wearing them. I have never experienced anything like this. So, if you buy the black bottoms, I think you will be happy with their performance, just BEWARE: don't sit on light-colored cushions or chairs when wet, don't use a light-colored towel, keep it separate from other colored swimsuits, and, for the love of donuts, don't wash it in anything but the dark wash!
