FAQ
Why size is right for me?
We now offer 2XS to 5XL (UK sizes 6-24) in 3 different lengths with a total of 30 sizes for each style instead of the usual 5 or 6. We’re not big on blowing our own trumpet but pretty sure this is one of the biggest size ranges out there - if not the biggest!
It was always our intention to be as inclusive as possible size wise and this is another giant leap forwards. Making everything ourselves is what allows us to do this. We only make what we sell or know is selling and this means we don’t have the waste problem typical across the fashion industry.
To find your size visit our Size Guide, get your tape measure out and measure across 4 points - your chest at widest point, your waist at narrowest point and hips at widest, plus the torso length which is a loop across your body from shoulder, through the crotch and back around again. If you're still unsure get in touch.
I'm in between sizes what do I do?
This depends a bit on personal preference really. A smaller size obviously offers a tighter fit, but most people prefer to go up a size for a slightly looser fit. If you're still unsure or your measurements come up completely different to our size guide, just get in touch and we can help out!
Do you have any support for big boobs?
We already have women with larger bust / chest sizes swimming in our suits - it depends on personal preference really. Our suits are double lined with compressive fabrics, and each of our styles have been designed with support in mind - the thin strap suit has cross-over straps with reinforced stitching and the scoop-back suit has a slightly higher rise at the back to offer additional support.
But we know some women just prefer a little bit extra - so we've been exploring a style with an internal lining to support internal cups, but as with any change in style this takes time. As soon as it's ready we'll make sure to announce it here, on social and in our newsletter!
In the meantime you're always welcome to try one of our current suit styles and return it if it's not quite right. The best thing is to take all 4 measurements as per our size chart then check which zies is best for you, and you can always get in touch if you're still not sure.
DIFFERENT STYLES
Can I get a print in a different style?
Every time we release a new print we try to make it available in both our swimsuit styles, but we don't always have the time! So if there's a specific print that you like but it isn't available in the style you're after, just get in touch and we should be able to get that sorted for you!
When are you going to do a leg swimsuit style with more coverage on the bum/upper legs?
We would love to have styles that are comfortable for everyone to wear but we're only small and making new styles takes time 🙁. We've just launched a new extended inclusive range for our existing thin strap and scoop back styles and so we're going to be busy to fine-tune this over the next few months. Hopefully it's something we can pick up next year. We'll be sure to announce it here, on social and in our newsletter!
Do you make bikinis?
If it's a two-piece style you're after then please be patient! We're currently testing our bikinis and will look to launch this in time for spring summer 2022. Our top will have a crossover tie-back and the bikini bottoms will come with an internal drawstring to keep things in place for those active swims!
ALTERATIONS
Can I make an alteration to one of your existing suits?
If it's a simple alteration then we are more than happy to make changes for you which we can then keep on record so every suit you order has the same pattern changes. Get in touch and we can see if we can help!
ORDERING
Can I buy a swimsuit as a gift?
Yes, of course! Share the love. All our swimsuits come in a beautiful gift box and we can also include a personal note from you - just send us an email with any special requests! You can place your order as normal and add the lucky recipient's name and address in the shipping details - we'll take care of the rest! We can also offer gift card - either a physical or digital version - this isn't up on our site yet, but if you do want to buy one just let us know and we can get that sorted directly with you.
How long will it take to receive my order?
To avoid waste we don't hold much stock so it's more than likely we'll be making your swimsuit to order. This normally takes between 5-10 days to get ready and we use Royal Mail First Class Signed For post which takes about 1-2 days to arrive.
I'm in a rush, how quickly can I get my suit?
We normally ship our suits within 5-10 days of receiving your order. If you need your suit any sooner just get in touch and we'll see what we can do!
I made a mistake on my order. Can I change it?
No worries! Just ping us as soon as possible to let us know of any changes required and we'll try to accommodate this.
Do you have a shop or stockist?
Nope, sorry! But you can buy your suits directly from us from our online shop. If anything isn't right, we offer hassle-free returns and exchanges so you can try things in the comfort of your own home.
RETURNS
How can I return or exchange an item?
Easy peasy! If something isn't right, just let us know and we'll be happy to offer an exchange or refund. Please email us within 30 days of receiving your order - hello@usualobjections.com
How long will it take for me to get my refund?
As soon as we receive any returned items we'll process the refund, which can take up to 10 business days to be credited back to your account. The refund will be made back to the original payment method used for the purchase.
RECYCLING
What can I do with my packaging?
There's no plastic in our packaging, so you can just put everything in the usual paper recycling bin. Although we recommend keeping your gift box to store your keepsakes in! If you prefer to receive your suit without any packaging, just let us know and we can ship your suit in a paper envelope. Read more about packaging here.
Can you recycle my old swimsuit?
Yes, we can! We use First Mile to recycle our old fabric scraps. These are repurposed as new materials such as insulation, sports equipment filler and carpet underlay. Just let us know when you want to send something in and we'll add it to our next recycling drop. Eventually as production grows and we have more time (the dream!) we plan to give our scraps and your old swimsuits a second life as filling for pet beds - swimsuits for you, bed for your furry friend!
COLLABORATIONS
Will you collaborate with me?
Ooh! If you have an idea for a print design or have a project you'd like to collaborate on, please get in touch. We love to help people start things and work on fun projects with nice people. Check out our colab with Hannah & Soph from Blobcast featuring the Blob Swimsuit to get people talking about periods and swimming, or Gill Castle's swimsuit to raise awareness about child birth trauma and not being held back by having a stoma - @stoma_chameleon.
