Has anyone else found this suit to be "scratchy"? It irritates my inner upper arm during high intensity water aerobics.

I have had zero issues with this suit and I swim laps even did some sprints

I have this swimsuit and use it for water walking and laps. I don't find it scratchy or irritating at all. It's very comfortable, and I'm happy with it.

I personally have not had any issues with it feeling scratchy but I don't usually do high intensity activity in it.

My suit was two toned, with color on the arms. I didn't find the colors distracting at all. :-)

Well, it's not the easiest thing to get in and out of. I have issues pulling my arms out of the sleeves the most, especially when it's wet, so much so, that I worry I may rip it. However, the shirt has not even frayed, so I suppose it's meant to have the pressure. The neck hole in particular, has not been too much of an issue.

Hey man, I understand your sentiment completely. I have the same problem. Our of all her workouts, this is the one you'll havethe least problems with. There are only 2 cardio workouts that involve a lot of movement. This workout is prefect of you don't want to cause a disturbance. Just don't abruptly drop your heavy weights (but you shouldn't do that anyway). But seriously- don't worry about it. This is a perfect solution for your issue. (I'm also not paid to say any of this if anyone was wondering. I swear by this workout)

No never used it for scratchy costume. I only used it for chaffing while running and it works great.

Yea it is a lil textured which was something I was worried about bc I wanted clear but I actually liked the textured look. For the price it's worth a try. As far as the scratchy sound I don't remember. I've upgraded to the 5s and if it did make a sound it isn't enough for me to remember lol. Give it a try! :)

No. I do find that my arm gets a little sweaty wearing it but really not bad.

It is a bit 'scratchy' when in direct contact with skin otherwise no issues.

The one I received looks similar but not exact to the photo. I wear it under my cloths and can be seen around the neck-line. as would a razor back tank ect. it is a little noticeable but not very? I suggest a t shirt under because after about an hour it really starts hurting my arm-pit area. Other than that it does take a lot of pressure off the back and is a noticeable change. I wear it on the elliptical and at the office (where I need it most is at my desk)

I wear it through an aggressive workout and shower and it holds up okay. It doesn't seem to be the water that makes it lose it's stickiness more just rubbing it with my body or clothes. I use it I. My calf and I definitely notice a reduction in pain but only get on to two days out of each application. I still would recommend this product! Good luck!

I have hard water too....it took 2 scoops for it to bubble up...it cleaned ok...I just didn't like how it made my clothes feel. They felt rough and scratchy.

Nope. It has an elastic fabric covered band at the top of the arm portion that holds it in place well enough since the sleeves fit snugly on the arms, like a wet suit.

I think that I bought the large. I also had an issue with them coming down from the top. I did find that pulling more material up from around the wrist reduced the tension pulling down the tops. That helped a lot. There is no question that they do cool the skin. I just bought a pair of Nike sleeves in a different color after finding them on clearance, but I have not used them yet.

Hi Wendy,I go to the gym at least twice a week here in Maryland and use the Belkin Armband all the time. There is a slight bit of moisture on my nano when I'm done, but it has not harmed the nano to this point. However, the conditions you are running in, I would probably use a plastic 'baggie' over top of the armband as I personally do not believe it would keep the nano dry over time. Again...just my obervations and opinion. Hope you are doing well. chuck

I haven't experienced any scratching, it fits snugly, by design. It's Meant to by drawn not pulled if that makes sense. No problems yet. Im wearing it now as I respond

We are using it in the pool for the first few weeks of swim team. Our outdoor pool just opened, and our practices start next week, and I'm expecting it to still be to chilly to swim without something like this :) I just plan to make sure to rinse it after every practice.If you are asking if it will be too warm in the summer, I'm not sure about that. It would be warmer than just a regular swim suit.

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.
