Hi all - any advice about the fit around the legs? Does this dig in - I'm a little pear shaped and I find most swim suits dig in to my legs. Thanks!

I don't think mine digs into my legs and I am also slightly pear shaped. But we are all a bit different. I would suggest you purchasing it and then trying it on. Its a fabulous swimsuit. I don't regret my purchase.

I purchased this suit but I am more apple shaped, so to get a top that fits the bottom is ample for me- sorry can't help

Hi Cici,I'd say it's a little higher cut than I'm used to - I generally buy suits that are made for doing laps in a pool (rather than lounging beside the pool) - but it's not extreme by any means. I think the style is flattering and it's good value for the money (pool suits usually being $80+). Hope this helps. Cheers, hm

I might be the only one with issues in this regard. I am a short and heavy woman. My legs are pretty thick. So, when I snap myself in, I make it as tight as I can but once I invert myself, I slide down and almost fall out because at that point its by my ankles, which are small. my husband had to "save" my life mid air.

I'd agree on ordering a size up, if you happen to have wide hips and don't like things too fitted ... but be careful. I found the material doesn't breathe, and if you've got the extra layer of bathing suit underneath it might get really claustrophobic. ... I've been much happier with Coolibar rash guards, which fit my broad back and wide hips, as well as being sun protective and lightweight at the same time, keeping you warm when needed and cool when you're wet and it's hot out there.

I know it's not easy to choose a size but I'm normally a medium when I purchase shirts or what not. I went with a medium with this bathing suit, it fit. I'm a regular swimmer, I don't like the material that was used. It's not what I'm used to wearing.

Your body type is the same as mine. I got the medium and loved it. It has to be super tight or otherwise water gets in there and renders it useless for temperature regulation.

I bought this model for my wife how is 4'11" and around 106 lbs. It seems to fit her well. Best bet is to go to a dive shop and try on their suits. You may have to result to trial and error.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

I usually wear a size 10 or so, and I got a Large wetsuit. It is hard to get on, harder to get off wet..I use it in a pool. Maybe it should fit tighter, but this is easier for me to get on and off (even with the zipper in front).

Go to a local dive store. Try on some wetsuits. See what size fits you. Ask if they can match Amazon's prices. Order your wetsuit from Amazon.

Body size was great for my average frame. I was glad I went one size smaller than my shoe size. I will be able to wear the waders with just heavy socks. Bud C.

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!

I got the 2x for myself, and mn a thick and hippy girl, and it fit nice and snug.... just beware after a month or two of use that it dont start to break up in the seam in the booty area.. but other than love the suit

My wife uses this brace too and she is 2x, there seems to be plenty of extra strap for a larger leg but our bodies are all shape differently. Where some might have massive thighs some others carry their weight around the waist if you are normally proportioned I can see it fitting you. Take a chance I would anyway refunds are easy with Amazon!! Sometimes you just have to go for it!!!

There is a chart on O Neills web site .... Go there and check... That is how I did .The wet suit is great and fits perfect with no harm to the skin in any point !

hi. I ordered a XXL. I am size 18 in clothes. chest 38DD waist 37 hips 50 and I am 5'1". this fits perfectly. it is "firm" to wear. I have another suit I wear but it does not "hold" as well. when I exercise in the pool everything stays put in this one. I hope this helps

I love my suit, if you buy it make sure you size up. For example if you wear a size large buy an X-large...I hope this was helpful.!!
