Let’s get right to it:

You should know, there’s a semi-viral pair of one-piece swimmers on Amazon under $50 bucks with more than 2,000 reviews.

It’s the Dixperfect Women’s Retro 80s/90s Inspired High Cut Low Back One Piece Swimwear, $46.62.

Yes, that is a ridiculously long name for a bit of spandex. But here’s why everyone is talking about this swimsuit.

Side note – for a funny look at how swimmers have changed over the years, watch this video below. Post continues after video.

The style?A scoop neck, lowish back and a cheeky bottom.

The material?Fully lined nylon and spandex.

The colours?It comes in 28 COLOURS AND PRINTS, from solid shades of black, khaki, neons and brights, to spots, stripes, camo and every species of animal print on earth.

(Alright, not every species, but all the trendy ones like snake, leopard, cheetah etc.)

The quality?You get what you pay for, but in this case, you’re getting your money’s worth.

Oh, and the price?$46.62 + $9.97 delivery.

Here’s what it looks like on a range of different women with different bodies who’ve posted sponsored and unpaid content about it recently.

‘Yeah OK cool, but I’ve been scammed before by online purchases that arrive looking nothing like the photo,’ you say.

What are these swimmers actually like in real life?

We had the same question, which is why we asked some of the women who’ve been wearing it on Instagram to tell us exactly how the Amazon one-piece feels and fits.

Curve model, writer and presenter Jessica Vander Leahy toldMamamiawhat she enjoys most about these swimmers is how flattering and cool the cut is for plus size and/or curvy women.

“I loved the high-cut leg. Too often I think swim brands marketing to a curvier customer still err on the side of assuming their clients want to be more covered up and for many, that’s not the case,” she said.

“For me personally, a boy-leg feels tragic—I never wear them happily. I find a high cut waaaay more flattering at lengthening your pins and they’re just way more functional.”

Abbie Chatfield, influencer and former Bachelor contestant, also confirmed the bust support is surprisingly OK, considering the swimmers look like a side boob slip waiting to happen.

“It actually just fits really well, which is a plus,” she said. “And the fabric is really supportive, it supports my DD tits well!”
