Lands' End Chlorine Resistant Soft Cup Tugless Sporty One Piece size

In this review of the Lands' End Tugless Sporty One Piece, the bottom line is simple: it is a dependable, modest swimsuit for those wanting built-in support and long-lasting stretch. The suit is designed for swimmers who need a comfortable, full-coverage one-piece with a supportive soft cup bra and durable fabric. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of sewn-in soft cups, wide straps that stay put, and LYCRA Xtra Life Spandex construction that helps the suit retain its shape and resist wear from frequent use.

Key Features

• Chlorine resistant fabric: The 77% nylon and 23% LYCRA Xtra Life Spandex blend is made to keep its shape and resist breakdown from chlorine, sunscreen, and sweat for longer wear.
• Soft cup support: Built-in soft cups are sewn into a chest pocket to provide support without underwire, which adds comfort for swimming laps or water aerobics.
• Full coverage design: High scoop neck front and back plus wider straps deliver modest coverage and reduce strap slip during active movement.
• Tummy control shaping: All-over smoothing through the waist and hips with built-in shaping helps create a streamlined silhouette in the water.
• UPF 50 sun protection: The fabric blocks harsh UV rays so the suit doubles as sun-protective swimwear for outdoor pools and beaches.
• Quick dry and durable: The material dries relatively quickly and the LYCRA Xtra Life Spandex is intended to last up to 10 times longer than ordinary spandex blends.

Who It's For

This swimsuit is best suited for women seeking a modest, supportive one-piece for lap swimming, water fitness, and regular pool use who value built-in soft cup support and wide straps. It works well for those who prefer a higher neckline and extra coverage through the hips and rear, and for buyers who want UPF 50 protection without adding a separate coverup.

Shoppers who need very fashion-forward cutouts, minimal coverage, or a suit that must withstand extremely heavy commercial-chlorine exposure without any fading may want to consider alternate options. Also, those who require underwire support should look elsewhere since this design relies on soft cups for shaping.
