Best Swimsuits for Every Body, From Sustainable Brands

These new bathing suit fabrics are being made from recycled materials like that of recycled water bottles, regenerated nylon and other fabrics, or recycled old fishing equipment like that of fishing nets and lines. So amazing!

Summer is here which means hot temperatures for most of the northern hemisphere. Hot temps for our family usually means that we are looking to head towards the nearest body of water to swim in pools, the ocean and lakes ie. water haha.

Lucky for me this is the first year where I haven’t had to worry about a bathing suit, having gotten one earlier in the year and a couple of backup options from the previous year, and yes finding a suit can be hard, very hard. I am not fully comfortable being in a bathing suits which does mean that I want a suit that I do buy to feel comfortable in is important and key. I’ve been practicing letting go of some of my insecurities because I want to enjoy the time I have in the water with my son and husband. I want to be fully present and not needlessly worrying how I look the whole time (those thoughts do creep in) or wondering if is a boob going to fall out. I like a suit that is cute of course but also a bit supportive especially up top, my string bikini days are of the past, once you have a kid I feel your lounging around the pool days limited and you are required to participate in a activities a bit more hence why support is important to me (haha).

Another feature that I have been looking into with all my clothing is to find companies that have sustainable practices when it comes to making and manufacturing their clothing. Thankfully more companies each year are stepping up their practices and are using more sustainable materials and processes when making their clothing, and even better yet my picky bathing suit shopping needs were met by a few of these brands, so of course I wanted to share with you loves. In varying degrees the amazing way these new bathing suit fabrics are being made from recycled materials like that of recycled water bottles, regenerated nylon and other fabrics, or recycled old fishing equipment like that of fishing nets and lines. So amazing! I see for the future and hope that with consumer support these kind of these reimagined company practices on where to source materials from becomes a new standard of practice, and second nature in using recycled materials. I have found that companies that are designing with repurposed materials their products are of superior quality, because when you have to  find new ways to construct per say the swimsuit fabric your attention to quality is a must to make sure the fabric works for the design. And the need for attention is key for swim suits if you consider what that specific material has to go through, like hold its shape through activity and stretching in/out of water, the color has to withstand sun, water, washing and fit.    

So without further delay here are some of the amazing bathing suit companies i’ve found. Wishing you many memories from your fun in the sun, cheers!
