Summersalt makes some of the best swimwear and travel clothing we've tried - here's what 6 women had to say about its new underwear and bra sets

When I pulled this set of the packaging, I had pretty low expectations. While super cute at first glance, the underwear looked way too big and the bralette looked so thin I imagined it had to be flimsy. After wearing the pieces, I was very pleasantly surprised — I really love this set.

My favorite of the two pieces is the bralette. The fabric is super-soft on the skin and it fits me really well — the band is breathable, the straps don’t dig in, and it provides just enough support for wearing out. Usually I don’t feel comfortable wearing bralettes for any purposes other than lounging, but I’ve already worn this one in public layered under a dark tee. While it’s obviously not as supportive as an underwire bra, I felt secure wearing it out.

The underwear is super comfortable too, made with the same lightweight, semi-sheer fabric as the bralette. Usually I’m turned off from briefs because all of the fabric can feel restrictive, but the barely-there feel of this pair makes them almost unnoticeable, which is exactly what I’m looking for in undergarments. I can already tell these lightweight pieces will be great for hot NYC summers. — Remi Rosmarin, Insider Picks reporter

I tried the bralette and underwear in black. When I got my order, both items seemed a bit thin. They were light, sheer, and I was worried about durability. When I tried them on, I was surprised at the quality and even more shocked to see how well they fit my shape.

I’ve always struggled to find bras that fit my body (without looking like they came from the juniors section in a department store) but this one did the trick. It looked sophisticated while holding up like any other bralette — making me feel both comfortable and confident.

The underwear was also extremely comfortable and though I wouldn’t wear them to work or out with friends (they aren’t my style), I can certainly see lounging in them while at my apartment. — Megan Foster, Insider Picks intern

I tried both the Feel Free Bralette and the Underwear from Summersalt, and I was pleasantly surprised. When I first saw them, I was disappointed because they seemed super cute and super impractical for daily wear. The sheer look and delicate feel are really misleading — the underwear is actually very sturdy, comfortable, and cute looking. I liked the underwear enough that’d I’d wear it in normal day-to-day life, not just at home.

The bralette, as usual, was another story. As a woman with a bigger bust, I need two things from a bralette: adjustable straps and structure, because both give support and keep everything in place. The Summersalt bralette doesn’t deliver on either count. If you have a smaller cup size, it may work, but if you’re 32DD and petite like me, it won’t give enough coverage or support for you to even entertain wearing it. It is very attractive looking, though! — Malarie Gokey, Insider Picks buying guides editor

Unfortunately, I had the same issue with the bra as Malarie. I have a large cup size and I’m just over 5 feet tall, so the straps on this bra were way too long for me. I actually had to cut them and re-sew them myself to make it work for me since they’re not adjustable, and even still there was pretty much no support. However, the bra is so cute that I still wear it around at home to lounge in! The sides sometimes dig in a bit, but I think that’s because of how I had to adjust the straps. The sides now sit a little high on me.

The underwear is also exceptionally cute, and I’ve been enjoying wearing my pair under loose-fitting dresses since they’re so breathable and comfy. I wouldn’t wear them under jeans, but then again, I don’t wear any full-coverage underwear with jeans anyway. — Sally Kaplan, Insider Picks senior editor
