Product Insights
The V-Cut Ribbed One-Piece by Simons offers a flattering leg-lengthening silhouette through its high-leg cut and ribbed fabric that conceals lumps, while the built-in shelf bra and self-tightening crossed straps provide stable support for lap swimming and aqua fitness, reducing neck strain; however, the short torso fit suits petite frames only, and the moderate rear coverage may require occasional tugging during swimming.

Deep Research
Price and value compared to similar swimsuits
- Simon's own higher-end recycled ribbed swim offering, the HAIGHT Monica one-piece, carries a sale price of $116.98 — the V-Cut at $19.99 is just a fraction of that, making it the most affordable entry into Simon's recycled-ribbed swim by a dramatic margin.
- A comparable Soah retro ribbed cutout one-piece on Simon's moved between $73 and $119 over its lifecycle, settling at $83 — the V-Cut's current $19.99 undercuts even that style's lowest recorded price, signaling a clearance-level discount rather than a standard promotional markdown.
- In the wider sustainable swim category, recycled-nylon ribbed one-pieces typically retail between $57 USD (Berlook) and $99 USD (Mimi Flamingo) — the V-Cut's original $69 CAD sat at the lower mid-range, and the $19.99 CAD final price undercuts the entire segment by over 60%.
Ribbed fabric properties and benefits
- Because ribbed fabric is a double-knit construction that alternates knit and purl stitches, it delivers better stretch recovery than a smooth jersey — meaning the suit resists bagging when wet and maintains its clean V-cut silhouette throughout wear.
- The raised rib pattern creates a textured surface that visually conceals lumps, bumps, and cellulite, giving the suit a flattering, smoothing effect that reduces the need for heavy built-in control panels — a characteristic that makes ribbed swimwear a go‑to for body‑confident styling.
- Ribbed fabric is inherently tougher than single‑knit jersey and handles frequent movement and friction well, so the suit is less likely to pill or thin in high‑stress areas like the underarm and hip, even with regular beach and pool wear.
Crossed back strap support and fit
- The crossed straps anchor on opposite sides of the back, creating a tension system that channels bust weight onto the upper back — a part of the body better suited to bear load than the neck or shoulder tops — which reduces the digging and strain common in halters and straight‑strap suits.
- Because the crossed straps pull diagonally as well as vertically, each forward movement of one shoulder slightly tightens the opposing strap, so the suit actively resists slipping off — a self‑correcting dynamic that keeps the straps in place during swimming and active movement without needing to pause and readjust.
How recycled nylon feels and performs in water
- Black is the most forgiving wet-state color — it masks shadows and contours far better than pastels or whites, so the suit maintains a uniform, non-revealing appearance even when saturated, reducing the need for a heavy lining.
- The ribbed texture isn't just decorative — its micro-relief surface scatters light rather than letting it pass straight through, giving the suit inherently better wet opacity than a smooth jersey of the same weight and making the slim cut feel more secure.
- Recycled nylon/spandex blends are engineered to recover over 95% of their original shape after stretching, so the suit’s slim fit won’t permanently bag out — it will keep hugging the body swim after swim.
- Nylon-spandex blends are inherently softer and drape more naturally than polyester-spandex, so this suit will feel gentler on the skin and move with you rather than resist — a reason fashion swimwear continues to favor nylon despite polyester’s chlorine edge.

Good quality, not enough coverage
Nice swimsuit, good colour, fairly flattering and comfortable, but not enough coverage of the bum; I keep tugging it down / out at the back. The difficulty might be that the torso is a little short; my chest also gets a bit squished by this design, and it might be that the back rides up / chest is squished flatter as a result of the suit being too short? If it helps others: I'm middle-aged and fairly fit, 5'8" with 36" chest, 32" waist, 41" hips. I don't have an unusually long torso.
Simple and stylish
Had to return as was very short in torso (and I do not have a long body) but wish I could have kept it as it was otherwise very nice.
Good quality suit
Well made and I kept the medium instead of a large. I like that there is a bit of a shelf bra. The bottom could be more “cheeky” but it serves a good purpose for spas and actual swimming.
Excellent one piece
I love this swimsuit! It fits perfectly, I like the cut out back and high leg, and the color is perfect. It’s very flattering.
Q&A
3 answered- Does this swimsuit run true to size? I'm between XS and S based on other swimwear brands.
- This swimsuit features a slim bikini cut, so it's designed for a close fit. If you're between XS and S, we recommend sizing up to the Small for a more comfortable fit, as swimwear often runs slightly small. However, we don't have specific customer fit data for this style.
- How durable is the recycled nylon fabric? Is it resistant to chlorine and sunscreen oils?
- Recycled nylon is generally less resistant to chlorine and sunscreen oils compared to polyester or virgin nylon. To maximize durability, we recommend rinsing the swimsuit with fresh water after each use and avoiding prolonged exposure to chemicals. For frequent pool use, a swimsuit with higher polyester content may be more suitable.
- Are the removable foam cups secure during swimming or do they shift easily?
- The removable foam padding is secured in stitched pockets, so they stay in place during typical swimming. However, vigorous activity like diving or surfing might cause slight shifting. You can also remove the padding easily if you prefer a smoother look.
