It seems that these days everything is made cheap so that it doesn't last and is disposable!
I bought a bathing suit at the beginning of February for $99.99 plus 13% taxes.
I used it on average 4 times per week for the following periods:
February
1/2 of March
1/2 of April
May
Since July 7
I noticed the fabric getting thin, and the skirt part of the top had stretched so that when it was wet it was down to my ankles!!
On Monday I notice a few small holes in the front of the skirt and today I noticed what looked like a 2" verticle "slice" in the front of the skirt near the bottom. By the end of the aquafit class today that slice extended from about 2" above the hem of the skirt all the way to below the chest. The only thing that stopped it from continuing was a band that had a fake tie.
When I spend $100 on a swimsuit I expect it to last longer than this one has and I sure can't afford to go and spend $100.00 every few months on a new one.
I decided to call the store and talk to the manager. She was very nice and told me that while they don't take back swimsuits, my situation is different because it's not that I don't like it, it's because it's defective. So I'm going there tomorrow and she is apparently going to give me a new one to replace it.
I hope the next one lasts longer than this one, but if it doesn't, I'll be taking that one back too.
