Update: The original Cupshe review post was published in 2021, and since then I’ve bought at least another dozen Cupshe swimsuits and some of their clothing. My opinion of this company has not changed – it’s still the best store on the market to buy swimwear under $35. I’ve been happy with most of the styles I’ve purchased although I’ve returned a few. I’ve placed 1-2 orders a year for the past four years (whenever I travel) and never had any issues with shipping or refunds. Read about my experience below!
Wearing: Cupshe Scarlet Garden Pushup Bikini
Cupshe came on the fashion scene in 2015, just in time to fill in the void left by Victoria’s Secret who, for a brief period of time, lost their minds and stopped making swimwear. Just as everyone started scratching their heads in search of bathing suits, Cupshe came out with their trendy, bright styles, super-affordable prices and quality that did not disappoint.
I first heard about it in our Facebook group and decided to try it out during my vacation.
Wearing: Palm Print One Piece
Prices: $
Cupshe Prices are fantastic! It’s really refreshing to be able to get at least 3 pieces for under $100 while prices everywhere else are much higher these days.
Quality: 9/10
Quality is excellent for the money! When I received my first order, I was very impressed by the fit, the hold and the material. Everything is pleasant to touch, looks as pictured on the website. There were no surprises. I took 1 point off because, of course, these are not high end swimsuits. However, they are above and beyond for the money you spend!

Sizing:
True to Size
I order my swimsuits in size L, my normal size, and they fit just as they should. They do not run small and I don’t find them to be short even though I’m 5’6. I’ve tried out their one-pieces and bikinis and sizes have been consistent.
I really love their underwire styles – they hold everything in so well!
They also offer Plus Size swimsuits here.

Shipping:
Shipping normally takes about 7 business days, sometimes faster. The items that have a little car icon over their sizes ship extra fast!
The delivery was always smooth with zero issues. You can also shop Cupshe at Amazon, Macys and Target for an easier and even faster shopping experience.
Returns:
When it comes to returns, I did have to send a few things back. It was not because they were poor quality or didn’t fit right, but because I simply ordered too many things for my vacation and had to return something or bring a third luggage 🙂 The returns with Cupshe used to be a bit complicated, but they have streamlined the process recently by creating a convenient online portal where you can submit your return and print out a shipping label. The refund is very quick – just a few days after you ship your package!

Clothing:
Besides swimsuits, Cupshe offers a great selection of clothing, perfect for vacations and summertime. To be honest, unlike swimwear, some of their clothing items can be hit or miss. They also have a lot of polyester items that aren’t the best quality. However, I always search their site for things like “cotton dresses“, “rayon maxis” and “viscose rompers” – the fabrics I actually like wearing on hot days – and often come up with great options. Scroll below to see a few of my favorites over the years.
