The material is very sturdy, and very smooth, my girlfriend loves this bodysuit and I love seeing her in it, our only complaint is the zipper in the crotch area was sown awkwardly so it bothers her intimate areas, and its only a one way zipper, would be nice if it would have had a double zipper in place so she doesn't have to unzip and take the top part off to use the bathroom. Other than that it was a great investment, she feels extremely sexy in her new suit. I wouldn't suggest this body suit to anyone with some girth though, my girlfriend is petite, so it fits her well, but the suit would be a waste of money to anyone who is a little on the heavy side, no offense, just saying it would be a very tight fit
