- Oh, it's supposed to be, (laughs)
I'm wearing it wrong!
(laughs)
- Hi I'm Farrah.
- Hi my name is Janna.
- Hey I'm Destinee.
- Hi I'm Lara.
- And we tried on
- Swimsuits,
- From the internets,
- Cheapest stores.
(upbeat music)
- I kept seeing certain brands I've never heard of
pop up on my Instagram feed as sponsored ads.
I got curious and I clicked on the link
and I noticed that these certain websites
were selling, cute, fashionable, in style swimsuits
for like $10, so it made me think,
how in the world are these bathing suits that inexpensive?
Maybe we should test this out.
(smooth music)
I'm nervous but hopeful, I think,
for this experiment.
- The ones I tried on from Modlily I will say,
honestly were probably my favorite,
which I was not expecting at all
because when I was shopping on the site,
it was really frustrating that a lot of the plus sized
versions were one pieces or things that were
a little more modest and I was like,
no, I want to be exposed.
And so when I tried it on, I was pleasantly surprised.
(laughs)
Short, can we,
can we talk about the shorts?
I feel loved in all places.
The all black one was also one of my favorite looks.
It had like this really awesome criss cross front.
The only issue I had with that swimsuit was that
I am a thicc girl on the bottom
but when you come up to my top,
not as plus sized as they would have liked me to be.
(laughs)
- I enjoy my boobs, I like showing them off,
the first one I tried on was a one piece.
It looked promising but once I put it on
it just wasn't flattering.
So I thought, on my body.
It was very high cut, I just felt like
I was kind of wearing like a turtleneck
even though I clearly wasn't, it was obviously a swimsuit
I just didn't like it.
The second swimsuit I tried on from Modlily
was this bikini situation it was kind of confusing,
it really wasn't that confusing I just probably
made it more confusing but it was like a wrap top
and at first I couldn't figure out
how to get it tied, there was like a lot of moving pieces.
I just prefer like higher waisted bottoms
and these sat very low on my waist.
On anyone else I feel like I would be like
that's really cute but it's just not my style.
(upbeat music)
- The first one, the mesh one, I really liked,
the only thing was that it had a little bit
of like extra room in the boob area
but other than that I really liked it.
I thought it fit well, the other one felt like
a trash bag honestly.
It was like a little too loose, even though it was a small,
the second swimsuit had this clasp and it would just like
keep falling off.
I wouldn't even be moving and it would just fall off.
- The striped bathing suit was the very first swimsuit
I tried on and I was surprised it fit properly.
And so did the one piece, it fit as well.
(upbeat music)
(playful music)
- The one that I liked the most from that site
was the orange snakeskin one, I loved the cut out of it.
It's very trendy for right now,
but the thing is the size was just way too small for me,
and I felt like a snake was squeezing me
into the suit.
My only real gripe, size aside, is that you can see
where you're supposed to slide the cup in.
But otherwise like yum, Kim K got nothing on this.
(soft music)
The pink and green one I'm so mad about,
as I put the swimsuit on, I was like I don't even want
to go out in this.
Like I don't want anybody to see this on my body.
The bikini part of it was so small
that I had to like walk in with holding my crack
so nobody would see it, I felt like I was spilling
from every possible place you spill from.
That swimsuit truly stressed me out.
(laughs)
- The red snake skin, I love this swimsuit,
it's just like, I would be very worried about wearing it
to a public beach, but I took it to my birthday weekend
and had a private pool, I had 27 nip slips
but I didn't care 'cause it was a cute swimsuit
so like not something that I would wear in public
but perfect for a getaway with my friends.
The top is like a medium or a large,
this is not a medium or a large top, okay.
So they're gonna need to work on their sizing.
If I could get it to cover more of my breasts,
then I would feel more comfortable wearing it in public
because I think the bottom like, it's showy
but it doesn't make me as uncomfortable as the top.
The next swimsuit was like this lime, I don't even know
if it's lime green, it's like lime green but also yellow
but also like a highlighter.
To a public beach, I would maybe feel like,
I shouldn't be wearing this,
like my nipples may or may not come out at any time,
I think if I just had a bigger size
it would be a great swimsuit.
I wasn't like mad about the swimsuit,
I just think it didn't fit me.
Which is weird considering that I ordered a medium.
And I generally wear a small, their sizing is trash
but it was a cute swimsuit.
- The cactus one I really liked, 'cause I like cacti.
It's a reversible swimsuit so you can like
customize it to however you like,
I did get really confused about how to tie the swimsuit.
Oh, it's supposed to be,
I'm wearing it wrong.
(laughs)
I actually wore it to Palm Springs and I figured out
a way to make it look a little bit cuter.
I tied the two strings together so that it was
more like a halter and then I tied the other two strings
behind my back and I think it worked
and I felt very supported.
So the marble swimsuit, the bottoms were good
but the top was just too loose.
Like I did not feel supported, so I wouldn't wear it again,
I would wear the bottoms again if I had another top
to go with it but I wouldn't wear the top again.
- I liked Zaful's options in theory,
they were really cute swimsuits, they had a ton
of different designs and colors and styles
but for how they fit, the lemon one
was just a little bit too snug for me,
I was able to put it on, but it just felt
sort of too tight.
And this seem looks like it's my nipple,
but it's not.
And the blue one just felt a little bit too loose.
And it was kind of saggy in like the butt area
so I would be afraid to go swimming in it,
so I haven't.
If I was just lounging out by a pool
or a beach I think this is sort of like a basic swimsuit
that wouldn't give you any weird tan lines or anything
so, I'm not super mad at it,
I just wish the bottoms fit a little bit better.
(upbeat music)
- I've always like had this dream
of being a pin up girl one day.
And so I got to live that in this bathing suit,
I had the opposite problem for this one,
where like the cups from the boobs were too small
and then they sat like at my belly button,
I like the fact that they realize I might have small boobs
and a big butt but look,
we have a two in one action going on.
It's a two for one ladies.
Then there was the one I put on wrong, (laughs)
I didn't know this, I just went in there and I was like,
yeah, it's a halter top because it looks like a halter top
and then I'm getting out there and I was like y'all,
the size of this doesn't fit right,
like am I supposed to have a spare boob?
Maybe this is where you put a phone,
apparently I was just supposed to cross it.
I mean with these things right,
you order it, it takes time to ship
and then it gets to you, so I didn't have a reference
of what I was supposed to look like,
which probably would have been helpful.
I got bat wings over here.
Just don't, I don't have enough goodies.
Now that I know, I can try it on again and give it
an accurate review.
- I first tried on a bikini that was like blue,
I don't really know how else to describe it.
It was just a bikini, kind of skimpy but,
less skimpy from the red snakeskin and the other neon one.
Again the sizing wasn't super great,
I think I ordered a medium, it was very small,
barely covered my butt.
Even though like I feel very exposed,
it also feels like it fits better, I don't feel like
my nipples just gonna like pop out unexpectedly,
even though a lot is showing.
Overall it feels like it fits better,
although the bottom is definitely more exposed
than I thought it would be, it's like a full thong,
and I don't think it's supposed to be.
The second swimsuit I tried on from Rosegal
was a no go.
When I saw the picture online it didn't really seem like
there was a hole in the top.
It's not a hole, it's like you're supposed to tie it.
It's supposed to be cute, whatever.
But when I put it on like it was kind of gaping.
It wasn't cute, first of all it would be weird
for tan lines, second of all the bottoms
were basically see through when I put them on
and I wasn't in water, so I can only imagine
what would happen as soon as they got wet.
- Rosegal, I wore a floral two piece and a black one piece
with like mesh cut outs on the side.
And I really liked those two.
The boob area is interesting,
'cause it like is so stiff but I kind of like it
because I know that they're supported,
so that's good.
The black one piece I actually wore on my Palm Springs trip
and I really like that because I feel like
it still sucks me in and I still feel good with it
and it's just a really nice swimsuit I really like that one.
- I really liked the leaf print one piece.
I thought it was really cute and I've actually
gone swimming in it since I've tried it on
and it fits well and it's sturdy.
The material for Rosegal, feels fine
it doesn't feel like cheap or anything, so,
yeah, overall I would say it's pretty decent
for what you're paying for.
- The other swimsuit I tried on was the two piece maroon one
and at first I was really struggling with how to put on
the maroon top and accidentally put it on incorrectly
the first time and I was like very confused
because it felt like my boobs were about to fall out
and then I looked at the picture to reference
what it was supposed to look like.
I think I'm gonna have to redo it.
(laughs)
I tied this string around my neck
and I had tied this around here so I like flipped it.
- [Photographer] It looks completely different,
oh I see what you're saying.
- Yeah.
So once I put I the correct way,
I thought it was really cute, I like the top a lot,
I liked how it fit, like this area
but the bottoms weren't the greatest in my opinion.
I guess this seem, whatever you call it,
is like flipped, so on this side it's correct
but on this side it just like kind of sticks out.
Otherwise, I like it now that I'm wearing it correctly.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
(soft music)
- Here is my thing with online shopping,
I do not like it for the simple fact
that one brand can say this a one X
and another brand can say that's actually a three X
and that was the issue I ran into on here.
- The sizing was very weird, I'm a D cup
but I wear like a four in pants, so sometimes I feel like
I need a smaller bottom, a larger top
that's not an option so you either had to get
both mediums, both larges, both smalls.
- Some of them I didn't feel too hot about
but some of them I felt really good in.
- It was kinda confusing on how to put some of them on
if you were like me and ordered them and like
a week or two had gone by and you hadn't seen
the reference picture in a while.
- I will say with all of the swimsuits that I tried
none of the material to me felt cheap.
- You can get cute trendy swimsuits
for cheap if you want, if you're going to like
just a weekend or you're like
just going on vacation or something.
- I'd say it's a gamble to try and find those gems
of swimsuits at these cheap internet stores.
- I knew the pink and green set,
I was like, (sighs)
we're playing with fire here Destinee.
The actual fabric it was made of was great,
it was incredible, it just did not fit me.
If they had more sizes then sure
but that's something you're going to take into account
when you're buying your suits, hopefully.
- In the end I think these websites and these swimsuits
are a good choice if you're on a budget
or you're not looking to spend a lot of money
at the same time you do get what you pay for
so just be aware of that.
