Zoggs swimming costume

[Undercoverbanana]

True to size?

Is a Zoggs size 8 a Primark/H&M 8 or a M&S/Next 8?

Clothes sizing is so unpredictable unless you are familiar with the brand.

TIA.

Anyone familiar with the brand out there, please?

I would say true to size. I love my zogg swimsuit , it has lasted up to 4 swims a week for years , when all my friends speedos have got thin and been replaced several times

[bruffin]

I would say most swimsuits come up small so would go with primark 8

My Zoggs swimsuits would be more like M&S sizing than H&M sizing.

They're fantastic quality, have had them for years.

I find Zoggs quite short in the body. Something to bear in mind if you are long in the body.

I have 1 in a 12; i'm normally a 10, but have to go bigger for the length. The 10 was perfect fit apart from the length (looked a bit borat).

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

My current costume has gone all "baggy cling film". It is in a terrible state. I am determined to make it last out 2017 but I am so embarrassed when I wear it. When I get out of the pool, the bum bit sort of hangs down and flaps behind me. I am buying no clothes in 2017 and this is my most urgent clothes problem! I have no idea what it actually looks like - it's probably better that I don't.

Never bought Zoggs before but they sound good.

Bananmanfan - Love the Borat description. I don't think I need to be doing that at my local pool.

A swimsuit is not clothes though. It’s sports equipment. FWIW, I have never had a problem with Speedo suits made from their “Endurance” fabric, which seems to be bombproof. Old season colours are often heavily reduced on Get the Label.

I've got a long-length zoggs and went down a size (from asda size as I was loosing weight so didn't want to buy one that wouldn't last but was desperate due to existing ones elastic going) and it was just about ok.

[Undercoverbanana]

Loving the Get the Label site. Soooo tempted. Thanks for all the advice.

Zoggs do a longer length as well. What is a 12 for me in a Zoggs would’ve been a 14 in another brand.

[TommyandGina]

Classic me not reading the thread there! What BLUE said above!

[BikeRunSki]

Awesome!!! I didn’t realise Zoggs did a long length!!

[BLUEsNewSpringWatch]

Zoggs was the only swimming costume with longer-length sizing options I could find, that didn't have that horrible tummy control mesh inside or cost over £50!

I cannot wear normal length swimming costumes even if I go up 2 sizes (then they just end up baggy but with the cups still practically on my waist)!
