- The suit, just really showing a lot of boob.
- Yeah it's totally staying in place,
possibly because it is so tight it can't move.
- Nothing has popped out yet, so that's good.
(upbeat music)
- So Amazon obviously has a ton of swimsuits
and there are some really good
four or five star reviews out there.
But there are also some really, really bad
one and two star reviews lurking in the shadows.
So we thought we could try out these swimsuits and see
if they truly deserve the (bleep) ratings that they have.
- I love swimsuits, especially now
that I'm in a different place in my body positivity.
I didn't have the best relationship with swimsuits.
Now, I wear swimsuits around the house
'cause I am bored and I wanna feel cute.
- I've just got into swimsuits
for basically the first time.
Wearing a swimsuits really gave me a lot
of anxiety growing up, just because I just
didn't feel as confident.
Eventually I was okay wearing one pieces.
I don't want to just only do one pieces.
- I personally love swimsuits.
Every summer, I get excited to buy a whole range
of new styles just to mix up my wardrobe.
- When it comes to Amazon shopping,
it's definitely a mix up.
It could be really amazing or really not amazing
and I don't like to take risks.
I'm already a Gemini, I already live
at the edge of self discovery,
so I don't need to discover that the clothes I paid a lot
of money for don't fit me.
- When I shop on Amazon, I don't even look
at anything that's below four stars.
- You do get these really angry Karen-type people
that will write a bad review over something that's nothing.
Maybe that's what's happening with these swimsuits
and they're actually, okay.
- This is the swimsuit.
Definitely has a sweetheart cut.
Is that what they call it?
I ain't no damn fashionista, you know what I'm saying?
(bell dings)
- This is a very light fabric.
You can see my hands in here, right?
'Cause otherwise the style is pretty cute
and I liked the red and the black together.
That is a very sexy vibe and I'm all the way here for it.
(bell dings)
- It looks really long and a lot
of different bits of string.
I actually think it looks kinda cool.
(bell dings)
- The floral is cute, definitely not my vibe.
I don't have big titties, so it's gonna
make my boobs look bigger.
- I also know this is not the right way
to put it on. (laughs)
I did go one size up.
All the reviews said that they run really small.
People were talking the most
about how the top is super small.
- The funniest thing is, which I did see written
in small writing on the Amazon page,
this might look like crochet,
but it is simply a printed crochet pattern.
I think a few of the negative reviews did come
from the fact people didn't see
that this wasn't real crochet.
- This feels fine, it feels thick.
It might ride up in the cuckoo area.
It's actually 10 times better quality
than I thought it would be.
- This is the top.
I actually like the style. This is super sexy.
- I saw that it runs really small, so I've got a large.
This makes it really hard for a wide range
of body types to wear this.
(laid-back music)
- This is the swimsuit on my body
and I actually really like how it turned out.
I like how it fits, I like how it covers everything,
my big belly, my broad shoulders.
But the only thing is that my boobs don't actually fit.
I could see my boobs falling out if I do any activity.
(drum rolls)
(angels sing)
- I like the style 'cause it's very sexy and it's different
than anything I own (laughs), swimsuit-wise.
It's very thin.
- This is the suit on. It's a racer back, right?
And I had to climb through the arms bits and,
dude, if this is wet, I don't know how you get it off.
It also squishes your boobs down,
but it does make me look like I have a good cleavage.
- The material's thick, stretchy, nice.
I'm actually surprised why it's badly rated.
I think the only reason that would make it the worst rated
is just the bra sizing.
It's not really covering the boob part,
but everybody's different, so even though
it's not perfect on my body,
I can definitely see another plus-size girl
rockin' the hell out of this suit.
- What surprised me is the fit is actually pretty good.
I feel like the bottom fits perfectly,
no issues with the bottom of it.
And the top is kind of small,
but I am also not the biggest-breasted women
on the face of this planet.
The top running small is actually pretty fine for me.
- Everything just feels really tight
and uncomfortable, quite honestly.
But I'm not hating the style.
I've never had a one piece
that has so many cutouts and stuff,
so it's kind of sexy but also kind of sporty
at the same time.
It's so close to showing my butt crack
I'm used to having kind of the eighties style,
very high up, high leg thing going on.
- Right now, I feel secure.
I don't feel like anything's popping out.
But I haven't really moved around a lot,
so I don't know if this is gonna hold up.
For all of the straps that are on this,
none of them are holding me in super tight.
- Also, it's not a bad price.
It's kind of like, well, what do you expect for this price?
I don't think it deserves the ridiculously low ratings
that it has, so far.
(jazzy music)
- All right, I'm gonna run around.
Running is circles.
My boobs are about to fall out.
I can already tell this would probably
be more of a, for the grand moment and not for swimmin'.
It's sad 'cause everything else fits so right.
I don't think you can tighten these, either.
But this is what it looks like
if my titties are inside of it.
- This is really cute for an Instagram photo.
This is how you get your DMs poppin'.
You post a picture in this.
First test, jumping jacks.
(broadcast signal beeps)
That's a lot of areola, that was areola.
Not the most secure.
But, granted, it's a tie in the back
and it's a tie at the neck,
so I might be able to make it tighter.
I just don't want to make it so tight that I can't breathe.
I need it to actually be functional.
I don't think this is functional.
I think it's just cute.
- All right, let's do a little run around.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, it's totally staying in place,
possibly because it is so tight it can't move.
Considering how many keyhole cutouts
and weird things there are on it,
it does stay in place pretty well.
(upbeat music)
- So next, we are going to go into my shower.
Sadly I'm not bougie enough to have a pool in Hollywood.
(water rushes)
That's a lot of water.
(inaudible)
- (screams) There's a spider!
- [Sammy] What?
- There's a spider in the water.
- [Sammy] Oh my god, wow, ew!
- Time for the ultimate test.
So far, so good.
(water plopping)
- So I just got out of the shower
'cause it's too loud in my bathroom.
Basically, the suit, just really showing a lot of boob.
I think once the water pressure got to the top half
of the swimsuit, it just started pulling it down
and I'm kind of a little uncomfortable
to show y'all how it really looks
'cause I'm not really trying to show y'all boobage.
(silly music)
(water splashing)
- Nothing has popped out yet, so that's good.
- Yeah, it really does feel fine.
It's not stretching out.
I kind of want it to stretch out, honestly.
Oh wait, the butt feels a bit loose.
Like this part is getting loose.
- I'm pretty sure you can see everything.
Sammy, can we see everything?
- [Sammy] Yup.
(children shouting)
- So it's super staying in place
and it's also not at all see-through'
'cause it has a whole lining in it
and I think that really helps.
- I think that this is not meant for water.
Do not wear this in the water,
especially in a pool full of kids like I did,
because way to be hella inappropriate.
Literally you could see everything. (laughs)
- Overall, it's actually a really decent swimsuit.
I just think it's not decent for my body type.
Great material, the shoulders were stretchy.
I just wish there was a way for me to tighten it.
- I wouldn't suggest buying this if you actually are active
and don't just pose for Instagram.
It's very sexy, though, so I am happy to own this.
I would give it a two.
- I don't think this totally deserves its terrible reviews.
It's not crochet and it is literally two sizes smaller
than it says.
I would probably give it a three out of five.
- I would say that this doesn't deserve a low rating.
I think it deserves a mid-rating
and I would wear it again,
but I wouldn't wear it to the pool.
Peace and love.
