The micro-mesh fabric is very soft, light and stretches beautifully. It has a gentle touch against the skin and is extremely comfortable. It is a very high quality fabric that clings to the body attractively. For me the fit of this handsome bikini is snug and perfect. It is well-designed, the pouch is roomy and supportive, and the ruched back shapes and flatters the buns very attractively. I love the look (great colors help), the pleasant feel and highly recommend it. Also, the price can't be beat.The fit, per the size guidelines, needs your attention. I first bought XL, as indicated by the guidelines and found that it was a nice fit but not as snug as I prefer. Large gave me a perfect fit, so you may want to size down.
