I am 5'6" and 143 pounds and take a 14 in Speedo but the moderate leg suit does not fit around the hips and belly. The 16 is far too big on top and a bit lose on the bottom. The contemporary leg 14 just fits when it's new. It stretches out after a few weeks, which I can live with. I swim three miles a week, and this suit, which I bought last year, lasted for 4 or 5 months in chlorine pool. Too bad Speedo is not making it anymore. Opted for the one without the piping. 14 is a bit tight at first. Speedo needs to start sizing suits for Misses, not Juniors.

I loved the color. Ordered one size and it was to big. The next size smaller was to small. Hate to send it back.. Might keep the smaller one. Was in a Dog attack in June 09 and still recovering. We have a pool at home and prefer the non-endurance for home. Love endurane for the health club.
I am 5'9" and weigh 140. I normally wear a size 12 or 38L in swimswuits. I literally could not get the size 12 on, however. Definitely order up 1 if not 2 sizes!
I don't like the high cut on the legs and this suit doesn't. The cut is what I like. Nice material, great pink trim, and I got it on sale. I keep coming back
I have been swimming a mile a day for 4 years now and this is my favorite suit. I try to keep one in every color. It is non flashy, very flattering and modest enough to not be shy in a large gym setting or in competition, but very stylish and pretty. Of the hundreds of swimsuits i have gone through.....this style is my favorite!
The suit is even more attractive than shown online with the dark black and hot pink piping. Although other reviewers found the fit big, this was the smallest of all the Speedos I tried in my size.
This is my second suit of this style. My first lasted through 5 months of 3x's a week swimming before it began to seriously fade out and stretch. It is difficult to find suits to fit a large chest, and even with this one I still wear a sports bra underneath, but all in all I am very pleased with this suit- especially the hot pink piping :)
Great suit. I like a sporty-ish suit because it holds it all in. This suit is sporty without the high cut legs and the back is super flattering. After trying 6 other suits this one is for me. I am curvy and athletic, and a lot of suits are either made for athletes or moms. This one is a great all around suit!
When I received this suit and opened it up I was disappointed it had absolutely no support in the top. I am large busted and have to have a built in bra. I loved the color and would have kept it had it had some support but had to send it back.

Liked the design but found the fabric very tight and thick. Felt constricted wearing it. The bust line was not true to size 10, which I have ordered in swimsuits before.
I ordered this for a high school swimmer, so the suit will get daily heavy use. The lycra fabric, the built-in shelf top, and the good straps across the back all give great coverage/support, but for these reasons, the chest is small, and she needed one size up. If you are a large-chested swimmer, take note.

Comments about SPEEDO Piped Moderate Ultraback:
These suits are the only ones that truly support a Large, Large bust. They don't smash your breasts flat, or smash/push them under your armpits, they support! I feel more confident because I know I look better in these suits than in many others I tries. (I don't even try others anymore!).

I use the product to swim every morning to get in shape and I like it because is comfortable, strong and nice looking. The only problem I have with it is that is bigger in the top than what it should. But overall is excellent.
