I am really sorry to hear that you weren’t happy with the product. Miranda had a very different experience and was very happy with the item. We understand that people may have a different experience than we did so we will definitely be leaving your comment published. I have no desire to censor others. Our “job” is to share our honest experience with an item like Miranda did but its completely OK for others to express their thoughts or feelings in the comment section when they differ from our experience. When it comes to apparel, there is a higher chance that a customer’s experience with a product might vary from ours with any type of clothing. And with features such as the thickness of the material, it makes sense that some people might prefer different thicknesses than others. I reached out to the company sharing your thoughts, and they responded explaining that they have a 14 day return policy, which begins counting when the item is delivered, not when the order is placed. This can be looked into in detail here -http://hydrochic.com/shipping-return-policy/. I can put you in contact with the contact that I have for the brand if you would like to speak with them, though.

First, the material is ubber thin; kind of like the material from your child’s costume cape. Understandably, you cannot try it because returns must be brand new; never actually worn in pool. Think quickly because
their policy is clever and they will NOT take returns if you don’t send it to them within 14 days of the day they shipped it. Which means it includes the time it was in route.

Second, not only is the window to return it tiny, but you have to pay out of your pocket to ship it back. YOU have to pay for them to ship the replacement back to you! They actually ask for your credit card number to be written on the exchange form that goes with package. Who does that?

Third, once I resigned myself to keeping it and mourning the loss of my hundred dollars, I took it for a test drive. Sorry Miranda, but it runs big. Which isn’t a good thing in water. Also, the skirt is not at all like a mini skirt. It is more like an un-tucked shirt with no definite shape. The flimsy material hides nothing! If you aren’t perfectly toned you will see every pump, slope, ripple, and imperfection on your body. My biggest problem and I think most people’s concern is that it holds nothing in place and offers no support. With this bathing suit you feel every jiggle in high definition.

Finally, their customer service is non existent. They do not make themselves accessible and they do not return emails. I really really hope that you don’t delete this comment because everyone deserves to know these things before they buy it. Especially the part about the material.

Good luck in your search ladies:)

Wow, thanks for the quick response. Thank You! They are expensive and it makes me nervous to spend that much on something I can’t see in person. Yours looks great!
Very helpful review!

Hello Boemum,

Yes, this ran true to size. I wear a small for my “regular clothes” and my HydroChic pieces were a small as well. There is a size chart with measurements to go by for the best way to find the right size. When you are looking at a piece, click on the “size chart” button to the right of the area where you choose your size and the chart will pop up. So far, I’ve been extremely happy with my HydroChic swimwear! Hope that helps. 🙂
