Hello, flawless beach body babes! I know that buying swimsuits can cause anxiety for many of us-- what if it doesn’t fit right? What if I feel fat? What if…. No time for the what-ifs. Instead, we can put on some sunscreen and get to the beach or pool. Your body is magical, strong, and serves you so well! Each person has a body, therefore everybody has a beach body, perfect for any bikini or swimsuit sizes XXS-5XL, or anything that just fits. To make this search for the perfect fitting bikini, tankini, one-piece, board shorts, or bathing suit, here is our guide for sustainable, ethical, and inclusive swimwear brands that you can use as summer approaches.
First, what makes a swimsuit sustainable? There has been a lot of talk about Econyl or regenerated nylon made from nylon pollution (like fishing nets):

After the nylon pollution is collected, it undergoes a treatment process in which it returns to the original virgin nylon form, and is then pressed into carpet yarn and textile yarn to create new fabrics. More information about ECONYL can be found on their site linked here.

Reminder:
To make your swimwear last longer, make sure to machine wash on cold and lay flat to dry! Putting them in the dryer stretches out the elastic and fabric. Also, after being in chlorine make sure to rinse your suit off, so that the chemicals don’t eat away at the fabric.
