We tried FloatBuds for the first time this summer with my 2.5yr old because he had a fear of water and this suit helped him gain much more confidence in the water! It’s very easy to put on, not over... See more

This is a gamechanger! I love how this allows some swim support (while supervised of course!) without the arm floaties. I also love that it’s adjustable- you can remove floating pieces as they become... See more

Shipping takes weeks, Returning is too expensive because of shipping costs
Buyer beware. This is for the Floatbuds floatsuit. This is clearly an international store. It took 2.5 weeks to get to me despite paying $3 for "priority" shipping. On the website, it really should state clearly shipping timing expectations depending on where you're shipping to. Also, the website makes it seem like you can return, but that is a joke too. When I asked to return, they told me because shipping costs is so expensive to return, they'll just offer me 20% back instead. Had I known this was shipping from so far away and would be so expensive to return, so you basically can't, I would've never ordered it. You're better off ordering from Amazon or another store that is closer with better return policies. Also, I tried to review their product on the actual website, but it sent me to some third party review website called Judge.me where I'm sure no one will ever see it. So these are not independent reviews. What a joke. Don't recommend!!

Unprompted review
Reply from Floatbuds
Hi Lucy, thank you for taking the time to lay this out — feedback like this is genuinely how we improve, and we appreciate you being direct with us.
You're right that our shipping timeframes should be clearer up front. Our standard delivery is 2–3 weeks, and that should be visible before checkout rather than something customers discover afterwards. We're getting that fixed on the site.
On returns — we ship from our overseas facility, which keeps our pricing far lower than it would otherwise be, but it does make return postage costly. That's why our team offered a partial refund as an alternative to you paying to send the suit back. It clearly wasn't the outcome you wanted, and we'd like the chance to sort it out properly. If you email us at contactfloatbuds@gmail.com we'll pick it straight back up.
