Triangl Swimwear // first impressions


So I took the plunge and bought a Triangl bikini! I've been wanting one ever since they  became popular last summer but held off because of the price. I finally decided to treat myself because i've been doing really well on my midterms (thank goodness). No regrets, whatsoever. 

I purchased the colour Indiana Ice in 'xs' for both the top and the bottoms. I know a lot of people have issues deciding what size they should get but I just referred to the sizing chart and it worked out fine for me! Do remember that the material is neoprene (the same material used to make wetsuits), so it is very thick and very stretch resistant. So if you are really worried about the bottoms cutting in, then size up. Personally, i'd much rather the swimsuit be slightly tight than have to worry about them falling off. Since the top has strings and you can adjust it, just stick with your normal size. 

I hand-wash mine in cold water, and i've had no issues with that. Also, I really stress storing it completely flat (just like it says on the instructions). Mine accidentally got folded one time and it took a lot of effort to get the wrinkles out. 

I would like to give an honourable mention to the amazing bag that comes with the swimsuit (also made of neoprene). It's super cute and great for storing the swimsuit. Overall, I give this swimsuit a 4.5/5 for it's high quality and amazing look. 

*UPDATE (1 year later)* 
This pains me to say, but I just want to be completely honest. I regret buying this bikini. I loved this bikini last summer but I've come to realize that it's not worth the money. Mine has begun to pill and it's less than flattering. The material of the swimsuit is also not too flattering on slim figures (aka. it makes my butt super flat). Unfortunately I will no longer be purchasing form Triangl. 

Best,
