Secret Slimming™ Top Panel Swimsuit

The body of this swimsuit fits well but is bit loose round the legs

My first choice in a swimming costume is one with chlorine resistant fabric, high neck and sporty style. Very occasionally M&S offer such swimsuits, but not currently, so I've ordered the best of a rather mediocre selection by my criteria. People who swim every day buy a lot of swimsuits. People who buy them just to pose on holiday don't buy many. Doesn't it make sense for a retailer like M&S to cater for people like me? It surprises and disappoints me that there isn't a single one offered for people like me.

I ordered the long version and the fit is perfect, tried it out the other day & was comfortable when swimming, washes well too

Quality swimsuit, good fit

Whilst it seemed to be good quality the swimmers have this odd extra reinforced stitching around the busy on the inside that shows through to the front. I didn't think it looked good. Also not the best figure lines due to the high back.

Swimming costume is comfortable, good quality and colourful.

Love this! I’m not tall but I find swimsuits come tight length wise on me usually - this one fits amazingly!

This is a nice comfortable costume fits well and is ideal for my Aquafit sessions, it keeps everything where it belongs while exercising hard in the pool. Would definitely buy again especially because of the price.

Good fit, the regular length was fine (I'm 5'6") the tummy control could be stronger but it's a very flattering style. Good support with proper straps for fitness swimming, covers what needs covering but not too much just the right balance. You don't want to be falling out of or fiddling with your suit when swimming for exercise so this ticks all the boxes. I hope the chlorine resist helps it to last. Better than dedicated sports brands.

This item ticks all the boxes - stylish, slim fitting, tummy control, resistant to chlorine, and gives excellent value for money.

This is the first costume I feel good in. The red strip cuts the bust in half for a v flattering look. Great costume to do my regular exercise in and not feel frumpy.

Red and Navy Secret Slimming Top Panel Swimsuit. I tried size 20 long and 22 long. I am usually size 20, 38DD and 170cm (5'7") tall. I always need a longer length swimsuit, regular ones have never fitted me. This swimsuit looked nice, nice colours, however the inner layer of control fabric seemed to make no difference to my tummy compared to the other M&S swimsuit I tried on. My main problem with this swimsuit was the inside panel and lightly padded area for the chest. Instead of being high enough to be useful, the panel started near my upper waist area, instead of higher up where I needed it. The effect was a slightly baggy area above my waist that looked as if I should have had an extra pair of breasts growing under my own, like an animal such as a cat or dog! If my chest was really huge and hung down to below my waist, the inside panel may have been used but it still wouldn't have been flattering! It is almost as if the regular sized swimsuit has been altered to have a higher neckline/straps and more fabric under the arms, but the level of the internal panel wasn't altered. The style seems to be popular as the pink and navy version is selling out, so it must fit some women fine. I suggest if you buy this that you also order a different style at the same time in case this one doesn't fit.
