Suits from China on eBay

Post by losingandbuilding » Sat May 20, 2017 5:26 pm

So I've been looking at some suits on eBay that ship from China. The price is very low ($3.99 each) and shipping is free, so its very tempting. Has anyone bought these, or something similar before? I'm wondering about the quality and sizing, although at that price, I guess I could use them as underwear or even just get rid of them if they're not great. The size chart on the listing says that the largest suit only fits waists up to 33 inches though, which is a bit smaller than I am right now. I'm thinking I might buy them and use them as "goal clothing" to motivate me to lose the weight. What do you guys think - would you buy them?

Here's the listing:

I have a Desmit suit from China I got from Amazon, it is well made. The sizing on Asian suits i's smaller, normally I wear a small, 30"inch waist, but the Desmit is a large, fits perfectly

I have bought several, all good quality but small. If you check out recent pics I have posted in Cut out lining and something like sunbathing in the garden they are both cheap far east suits.

Cool, good to know. I did see the post about cutting out the liner - they definitely fit you much better that way.

I have bought quite a few pairs of swim briefs and underwear from China and the same goes for both - hit and miss.

The biggest issue I have found is pouch size. I'd say I'm average size, but some pairs are so small or tight in the front they are either very uncomfortable or squash you almost flat.

The other issue can be material. The description might say Nylon, and it looks like a good thickness and quality nylon in the photos but when you get it the material is definitely not nylon and it is very thin and cheap.

That said I have got some stuff that has been great value, and comfortable. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I took the plunge and ordered a few from this listing, and a few from another listing. I'll have to let you all know how they are once I receive them.
