In today’s world, where sustainability is no longer a trend but a necessity, choosing eco-friendly swimwear is one of the best ways to care for our planet. However, with the rise of biodegradable swimsuits, many misconceptions have surfaced. Let’s dive into the myths and truths about biodegradable swimwear and why our nature-inspired designs are the best choice for you and the environment.
Myth #1: Biodegradable Swimsuits Fall Apart Quickly
Truth:
One of the biggest misconceptions about biodegradable fabric is that it will disintegrate while you wear it. In reality, our eco-friendly swimwear is just as durable and high-performing as conventional options.
The biodegradation process only activates when the fabric is disposed of in a landfill under specific conditions—high humidity and the presence of anaerobic bacteria. This means that while you wear your swimsuit, it will last just as long as traditional swimwear, offering resilience against saltwater, chlorine, and sun exposure.
Unlike conventional swimwear, which lingers in landfills for centuries, our biodegradable swimsuits break down much faster under landfill conditions, significantly reducing textile waste and pollution. You get all the longevity you expect from high-quality swimwear, with the added benefit of knowing that when the time comes to part with it, it won’t harm the planet.
Myth #2: They Don’t Provide Enough Sun Protection
Truth:
Many assume that sustainable fabrics sacrifice performance for eco-friendliness. However, our swimsuits are engineered to offer built-in UV protection, shielding your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. This feature is crucial not only for maintaining healthy skin but also for extending the lifespan of your swimsuit, preventing premature fading and wear caused by sun exposure.
With UV protection embedded into the fabric, our swimsuits offer an extra layer of defense against sun damage, reducing the need for excessive sunscreen use—another win for both you and the ocean.
Myth #3: Biodegradable Swimsuits Still Shed Microplastics
Truth:
Unlike traditional synthetic swimwear, our biodegradable fabric does not shed harmful microplastics into the ocean. Conventional swimwear made from polyester or nylon releases microplastics into the water every time it’s washed. These tiny plastic particles infiltrate marine ecosystems, harming marine life and even entering our food chain.
Our carefully selected materials eliminate this issue, ensuring that every swim is a step toward a cleaner ocean. No more polluting the waters you love—just pure, ocean-friendly fashion.
Myth #4: They Contain Toxic Forever Chemicals
Truth:
Many fast-fashion swimwear brands use materials treated with PFAS (forever chemicals), which persist in the environment and have been linked to serious health concerns. These chemicals are used to make fabric water-resistant and stain-resistant but come at a great cost to both human health and the planet.
Our swimsuits are completely free from toxic forever chemicals, ensuring that when you slip into one of our designs, you’re choosing a safe, responsible, and skin-friendly option. You don’t have to compromise your health for style—our swimwear offers both.
Myth #5: Sustainable Swimwear Isn’t Stylish or Comfortable
Truth:
Sustainability does not mean sacrificing style or comfort. Our biodegradable swimsuits are designed to be both fashion-forward and functional, offering a soft, silky-smooth feel that rivals luxury swimwear brands.
Our designs include elements that flatter every body type, from elegant high-cut one-pieces to classic and supportive bikinis. Thoughtfully crafted with a luxurious stretch, our swimwear hugs your body perfectly while providing exceptional comfort for all-day wear.
By embracing slow fashion, we focus on timeless designs instead of fleeting trends, ensuring your swimwear remains a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
