Everyone seems to own the one shoulder summersalt suit!
Yep, that one^ I am looking for something flattering in a two piece or a one piece. Which brands are just as great? |

Second Andie and Albion Fit. I own like 4 different Andie suits in different patterns and styles -- they are really good quality and I think the perfect combo of coverage/security while also being cute and sexy. I shop their sales a lot and have gotten amazing deals (never paid more than $80 for a suit).
Albion Fit is also great quality but I have found to be less of a slam dunk than Andie and they are pricier. My favorite two piece is from there and I love it but I've tried several others and had to return them because the fit was off. |

| Do any of these have the same level of compression as that Summersalt suit? I agree, it's overdone and I'm looking for something new for this coming summer, but man I love how well that thing sucks my stomach in and holds my boobs up without cups. |

| I have an andie suit that’s great and one that’s not. Unfortunately it’s a game of order, wait, try, return until you get the one |

I am soooooooooooo curious to know how the Baiia suits fit, since the compression is a huge part of their branding and I like the look/concept of them, but between cost and shipping time I haven't taken the plunge. Take one for the team and report back, please. |

Summersalt's suits have 22% elastane, which is insanely high. I get good compression from an Andie suit that is 18% elastane, but it probably doesn't suck me in as much as that Summersalt suit OP posted above. However I would consider anything over 15% elastane "high" compression, 10-15% "medium" compression, and less than 10% "low" compression. The style of the suit will also contribute to compression. One piece suits are naturally more compressive, especially around the waist, and tend to keep boobs in place better. Higher necklines are more compressive. Cross-back straps tend to provide more boob compression. Actually I am now understanding why I don't like Summersalt suits on me even though they are so popular. I have a smaller bust and I feel Summersalt suits flatten it out in a way that makes me look disproportioned. I prefer a lower elastane that isnt' going to smoosh my boobs so much (especially with a higher neckline like on that one shoulder suit). I like a lower neckline but with less compression, and then compensate with cross back straps which help hold things in place. |

I'm PP who suggested Miraclesuit. I'm a size 6 and plenty toned. My arms and legs are lovely. No amount of gym time is going to affect loose tummy skin from a twin pregnancy. It's plastic surgery or compressive swimwear. FWIW, I think I will actually get a tummy tuck next winter, but in the meantime you're both a jerk and incorrect to suggest the gym. |
