With many people now looking out for a new swimsuit to wear around the pool this summer, it's important to remember that comfort is just as important as style.
Unfortunately, Shein's SXY Rhinestone Studded One Piece Swimsuit has left some shoppers unimpressed, likening the skimpy outfit to a "cheese wire".
Shein recently added the bold £7.99 one piece to its collection, and it will certainly leave you with plenty of bared areas to tan. However, not everyone's a fan.
The seriously skimpy swimsuit features a small thin strip that leads up from the crotch, running up across the torso. The chest area is covered by extra material, but still, this certainly makes for a striking look.

Modesty aside, some shoppers have been left wincing at the thought of the thin, tight-looking strap stretching upwards from their crotch, with one person shuddering that it has "thrush written all over it".
Another person joked that they would "need to get the hedge cutters out" before daring to slip the swimsuit on, while a third grimaced, "Oh no. Crotch Wedgie".
Others were unsure exactly where certain body parts are supposed to go with so little room to spare, with a fourth startled customer querying, "Ummmm where the hell are her bits!?".
Another laughed: "The world has enough to deal with right now without having to see me in that. I think I’ll do my part and not subject anyone to that vision."
Others have likened the revealing swimsuit to the iconic mankini in the 2006 comedy mockumentary Borat , with one person wondering whether this was some sort of "female Borat fashion?"
The Mirror has contacted Shein for comment.
