Decision-making materials & (customer) feedback
The two most important measurements for choosing your size are your buttocks (H: hips/bottom) and your torso ( T: torso ). If you're on the border between two sizes, please use the following information about the swimsuit material to help you decide which size is right for you.
Stretch level of the materials - decision aid for sizes:
2-Way Easy Stretch: Stretch level 4/5. This material has a high stretch content and stretches well. You'll have approximately 2-3 cm of slack in the fit. If you're on the border between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort, or the smaller one for a tighter fit.
SSW - Super Shiny Wet: Stretch Level 3/5. This material has a good amount of stretch and can be stretched a bit. You have about 1-2 cm of slack to increase the size. If you're on the border between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort, or the smaller one if you prefer a tighter fit.
ITALIAN SHEER: Stretch Level 4/5 . This material has a very high stretch content and stretches very well. However, since these suits are cut tighter according to the stretchability of the material, you only have about 2-4 cm of room to move upwards. If you're on the border between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort, or the smaller one if you prefer a tighter fit.
SECONDSKIN: Stretch Level 4/5. This material has a very high stretch content and stretches very well. However, since these suits are cut tighter according to the stretchability of the material, you only have about 2-4 cm of room to move upwards. If you're on the border between two sizes, choose the larger one for more comfort, or the smaller one if you prefer a tighter fit.
STRETCH JERSEY: Stretch level 3/5. This material has a good amount of stretch and can be stretched slightly. You have about 1-2 cm of slack. If you're on the border between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort, or the smaller one if you prefer a tighter fit.
N99X-HL HAIRLINE METALLIC (rubberized): Stretch Level 2.5/5. This material has a reasonable amount of stretch. However, overstretching will damage the upper over time. Strictly follow the size chart. If you're on the border between two sizes, choose the larger size. Allow approximately 2-3 cm of slack (for a perfect fit).
N99X HIGH GLOSS and CAMO (rubberized): Stretch Level 3/5. This material has a good amount of stretch. However, overstretching will damage the upper over time. If you're on the border between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort, or the smaller one if you prefer a tighter fit. There's about 2 cm of slack at the bottom (for a perfect fit) and 1 cm of slack at the top.
