Waterlust creations equal safety, beauty and care of environment to me.
Pattern is great and it feels super well made and is very flattering on me! Very supportive too - no concerns about the ladies popping out
I'm very pale and prone to burning, so full body coverage while snorkeling is fabulous. I was able to stay out in the water on Maui for more than an hour multiple days, without worrying about sunscreen that would be harmful to the coral. I got a medium, which fits well on my 34-30-40 frame, a little snug on the hips, but not a problem in the water. The sleeves are a little loose at the hands, but I appreciate the added sun protection. The Whale Shark pattern looks great. I haven't been bold enough to cut the legs shorter yet, but folding them up has been fine. Overall, I highly recommend this suit!
The colors are so vivid—even prettier in real life. I’m a pretty medium medium and these provide some compression but aren’t tight.
Just what I wanted, fits great, can’t wait to go swimming!
I love everything I've ever gotten from waterlust! The shorts fit great, love the print. One note...
The print on the back, there's a bit of a grayish upside down triangular shadow on the upper butt. It kinda looks like they're a bit see through and like you're wearing a black thong 😂. Not a big deal, and it may just be how the fabric on mine was cut, so it might not be like that for every pair. Not enough of an issue to return. I'll still wear them proudly!
Initially ordered an S based on size chart and it was to small - but easy exchange for a M. Very comfortable. I got it to go with the whale shark swim top for beach days. It seems like it will stay put in the waves.
Only wish is for them to make a 2 inch inseam version!
Got this as a swim top and really like it! I’m 5’10 and around 130 and (not curvy!) the S fits great. I don’t know that the white side will get much use/am a little worried it’ll look dingy over time, but we will see.
Love this swim top! I’m on the thin/straight build side of things and I think this is really flattering, even on my less-than-curvy frame. I’m 5’10 and around 130’ and the small fits great.
Loved the suit but the butt area was way to lose , and very baggy around leg area. Like an old suit that lost the elastic. Rest fit well. Oh well returned and custom service was great.
I was skeptical before trying them on because of how long the legs were. But, once I got them on and pulled the extra length down and around my heel, I found that this was very comfortable and prevented them from riding up. I’m 5’4” and 130 lbs. The Medium fit is pretty snug, but that’s what I want for the gym because they prevent things from jiggling.
I haven’t tried them in the water, but they feel like they’d be nice under a wetsuit. My only concern is that the bright white might hold stains, but that’s just speculation.
They’re a little pricey, but worth it. The fabric feels durable and the stitching is high quality. I wore them to the gym the day after I received them and got many compliments. One person looked me up and down and asked “Penguin?” and I had to admit she wasn’t entirely wrong. LOL.
Thanks for taking the time to leaving this review! Our prints and fabrics are all bleach safe so you can get pretty agressive with stain removal if you get something on the white fabric. I hope this helps :)
Enjoy your new leggings, and thank you for supporting Waterlust!

Perfect! Fits great. Feels great. Love it!
This review is for the Paradise Protection Leggings. I love the fact 5'2 me is able to adjust the length easily (there's even a video how-to). The leggings are both beautiful well-made. I can go to the gym then jump in the water for a swim, followed by a paddle without having to change clothes! I was wondering how the print would look once on. Great! No slippage. Quality and ethically made. By the way, I purchased 3 other pair.
Note: I purchased the Abalone Restoration Reversible Top in a size S and the Fountain of Youth/Mermaid Camo Reversible Top in a size M, gave them both a chance for the whole summer, and am posting basically the same review for both now. I also got the shorts that match both of those and LOVE the shorts - the tops are a mixed bag for me. I think the tops run a little small compared to the size chart - I am 5'7" 140 lbs size 34B/C, and I can get the S on, but it is VERY tight and extremely hard to get back off. I only kept the S because I really wanted to be able to wear these tops for swimming and both sizes in the tops balloon, drag a ton, and sort of squish around when swimming, but the S does it slightly less so than the M. I would say the M is a no-go for swimming but great for other activities, whereas the S is definitely less comfortable for most activities, but might still be worth it if I want to be able to transition from swimming to jogging without needing to change into something else.
I loved the patterns, coverage, and support for marine conservation, and I thought this would be a great option for any activities by the water. I tried it out all summer long, and it's fine for playing with kids at the pool or beach, and even great for jogging and beach volleyball, but it is not swimwear, it's active wear, and I don't think that was super-clear from the advertising I saw and item description. The top feels like it's billowing like a sail if you try to actually swim in it. Functionally, this is basically a sports bra / supportive tank-top (and I do like that this item is better at not showing nipples through the fabric than those typically are). It's good for what it is, and would probably give it 4 stars for any other uses if it didn't include swimming in the description. If I had know this was not really for swimming and that an actual swim line was in the works, I probably would have held off making these purchases.

The top feels like it's billowing like a sail if you try to actually swim in it. I thought maybe I had misjudged the size, so I tried ordering a size down too, but the size down is so tight that I practically can't get it off without assistance and it STILL drags like crazy if I try to swim in it.

Wife absolutely loves them. Supper comfortable and not see thru, plus an excellent product for lake activities.
I’m 145lbs with a A cup, and I purchased a medium. It is so well constructed and fits great! I can’t wait to try it out in the ocean. I would beware of this top for anyone with bigger cup sizes though- there’s not a lot of support.

Love this color and that it coordinates well with several of the patterned leggings/shorts. Perfect addition!
Everything from Waterlust is beautifully made, wonderful to wear and incredibly functional.
Great fit; love the colors; just what I was hoping for!
These Tiger Shark leggings are my 6th or 7th pair of Waterlust leggings. I truly don’t know how I’d live without this brand. I usually purchase high compression leggings for working out in the gym, and I’m a RunDisney runner. I came across the brand and was stalking for a year before my first purchase. These pieces are an excellent replacement of a bikini for water workouts, no worries about your bikini top coming off. However, I’ve found Waterlusts pieces are genius for using for hot workouts (think Hotworks). The thicker, more compressive fabrics in my other athletic wear would be too much in the saunas, but because Waterlust pieces are incredibly lightweight, made to work in wet (or sweaty in my case) scenarios, and resist bacteria and stink, these pieces are perfect.
Oh how I love these crazy leggings! The colors are so vivid. The fit is great. The material is substantial. Best of all I feel good knowing that a portion goes towards the greater good. I’ve loved my educational emails as well🩷. I highly recommend these leggings! Can’t wait to wear them rafting.
