Default skimpy suit that works in Chlorine (good namebrand)

My Sporti suit that I bought on SwimOutlet is beginning to break down.

I am looking for a skimpy suit with less than 1" sides and a high cut around the buttocks. It must be made of a tough material (Lyrca) to withstand chlorine. I prefer to stick with a good name brand.

Any suggestions guys?

Here are pics of what the cuts I'm talking about around the hips (1 inch or less sides) and the high cut around the buttocks.

I hope board members can help -- that's a great looking suit. I personally would love to find that cut, but without the front seam and the tie cord not exposed.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I recall my Lycra suits as breaking down fairly rapidly from chlorinated pool water? Nylon suits hold their shape, but colors fade fairly quickly in the pool. Lycra seemed to hold the colors, but the fabric weakened and stretched after a few months of swimming? Speedo and TYR both make "Endurance" suits - they hold their color and shape for a long time, but the sides are more like 3".

Thanks for the insight!

The 3" sides ruin the suit!

I want something that's similar to the one in the pic. I specifically am interested in the cut on the sides (hips) and the butt.

The suit in the pic was brought at Undergear.com website. The suit is called the Intymen Micro-dot borreal suit. The company UNFORTUNATELY stopped making them!! Sad!

Undergear is like that. If you see something you like, grab it fast, because it will disappear after one season. If there is something that doesn't really go with your aesthetic, it's in their lineup for years

I got some good Endurance Speedos with narrow sides off e-Bay. They were English and they've worn really well. I got a Euro-style Sporti recently, after reading a post on here, and really love it. Hot and sexy, but I still feel comfortable wearing it to the pool. Swim Outlet has them on sale for about $10. So you can afford to ear them out.

i'm a fan of the seobean swimsuits. dont have the design like you have in the picture but the cut is awsome.

I bought some of these in sky blue.
They are rather fun and nicely made but the yellow section is made from bars of hi visibility yellow fabric with bars of see through net between.
I will wear them at a quiet beach but not in a public pool.
A good price for a nice fun suit delivered in a couple of weeks to the UK.
