Bather Reviews

I liked using bather.com. The site looks clean and simple, and it doesn’t throw a ton of stuff in your face, which I really appreciated. Maybe I’m just picky about cluttered shopping sites, but this one made it easy for me to actually pay attention to the swimwear instead of getting distracted.

The layout felt straightforward too. I could move around, look at different styles, and not feel like I was fighting the website, which is more than I can say for a lot of places I’ve tried. If I spent too long browsing, that’s probably on me, because the whole vibe was relaxed and easy to stick with.

I was expecting the colors to look different in person, because that seems to happen a lot with stuff online, but they actually matched the photos well. No weird surprises there, which was a relief.

The trunks are actually really nice quality and I’m happy with how they fit. Shipping was fine too, nothing amazing but no real issues. My only thing is the price feels a bit high for what they are, like maybe they know people will pay extra because they look good. Overall I like them, just wish they were a little cheaper.

Overall, it’s not a bad product. The fabric actually feels nice, and it’s definitely usable. But for the price, I was expecting it to feel a bit more polished. This is where it got annoying: I noticed a few loose threads in the stitching right away, which made it feel a little less well-made than I hoped. I’ll still use it, but I wouldn’t say I’m super impressed.

Bottom line: I couldn’t really wear it because the fit was way off. I ordered my usual size, but it ran much smaller than expected.

The exchange was quick and painless. I didn’t have any hassle getting it sorted out, which was a relief. Just a heads-up to others though, make sure you double-check the details before sending anything back so you don’t run into delays.

The suit itself was fine, no real complaints there. I just needed to return it for reasons on my end, and the process felt like more steps than it should’ve been. There were a few emails back and forth, and maybe I missed something somewhere, but it got kind of annoying for what seemed like a simple return. Not a terrible experience, just more hassle than I was expecting.

The fabric feels super soft but still sturdy enough, if that makes sense. I wore them all day at the beach and they didn’t rub or get that weird uncomfortable feeling when wet. i’m happy with them, seems like a good find, doesn’t it?

The shorts look fine and fit okay, but I was disappointed with how long they stayed damp after swimming. I expected them to dry quicker, and it just felt uncomfortable sitting around in wet shorts for that long. For me, that kind of defeats the purpose, so I probably wouldn’t buy them again if quick drying is what you’re looking for...

I’m a bit torn because the site seems like it has what I need, but actually finding anything is way more annoying than it should be. Some parts are fine, then suddenly it feels clunky and confusing again. I ended up clicking around more than expected, which got frustrating fast

I opened it just to browse and somehow had a print picked out within a couple minutes. Definitely wasn’t short on good options...

The lining feels super comfy all day, tbh. No rubbing or irritation at all, which is a big win imo.

I wasn’t totally sure what to expect when I ordered these, but they ended up being really nice. The price was good, they fit fine, and I don’t really have any complaints. Kind of surprised, but in a good way.

I wore these all day and the waistband felt really good on me. It didn’t dig in or leave me feeling uncomfortable, which is usually the first thing I notice with stuff like this.

I bought these before a vacation because I realized the night before packing that my old swim shorts were worn out, they do look good. I wore them around the resort and to breakfast by the pool and had no complaints there. The fit was fine overall, maybe a little snug, but nothing uncomfortable. Once I actually went swimming, though, they were just okay. They felt a bit heavy after being in the water for a while and took longer to dry than I expected. Not terrible by any means, and I’ll still wear them, but if you’re planning to swim a lot, they’re not amazing

I ordered from Bather because I figured it would arrive fairly quickly, but the shipping took way longer than I expected. I’ll admit I’m a bit impatient when I order clothes online, so that probably made it feel even more annoying, but the lack of updates didn’t help.

The item did eventually show up and it was totally fine, so I don’t have any complaints about the product itself. It was more the waiting around and not really knowing what was going on that put me off.

Maybe I just had bad luck, but for the price, I personally expected a smoother shipping experience. I’d probably think twice before ordering again if I needed something by a certain date.

I just ordered the same size as my old pair and they fit well. It was kind of like last time with that whole size thing, so no issues there.

I bought these swim shorts because I really liked the style, they do look good in person. But once I got to checkout and saw the shipping and extra costs added on, the total felt a lot higher than I expected.
The quality is fine and they’re not bad shorts by any means, but for what I paid, I was hoping they’d feel a bit more premium. I’d probably only consider buying from them again if there was a solid sale going on.

I was a little disappointed because I got excited thinking the pockets would be useful, but they barely hold anything. It just feels frustrating when you expect to toss in a phone or keys and then realize there’s not enough room to trust them...

I ended up having to return my order, and the refund did come through in the end. It just took a little longer than I was expecting. That said, customer service did respond when I reached out, which I appreciated. Overall, not a bad experience, just a bit slower than I’d hoped...
